Disarming the Alarm System
To disarm the alarm system or turn
off the alarm if it has been activated:
.Press
Kon the RKE transmitter.
. Unlock the vehicle using the
Keyless Access system.
. Start the vehicle.
To avoid setting off the alarm by
accident:
. Lock the vehicle after all
occupants have left the vehicle
and all doors are closed.
. Always unlock a door with the
RKE transmitter or use the
Keyless Access system.
How to Detect a Tamper
Condition
IfKis pressed on the RKE
transmitter and the horn chirps and
the lights flash three times, a
previous alarm occurred while the
system was armed.
If the alarm has been activated, a
message will appear on the DIC.
See Security Messages 0142.
Power Sounder and Inclination
Sensor
In addition to the standard
theft-deterrent system features,
if equipped, this system may also
have a power sounder and
inclination sensor.
The power sounder provides an
audible alarm which is distinct from
the vehicle’ s horn. It has its own
power source, and can sound an
alarm when the vehicle’ s battery is
compromised.
The inclination sensor can set off
the alarm if it senses movement of
the vehicle, such as a change in
vehicle orientation.
Immobilizer
See Radio Frequency
Statement 0343.
Immobilizer Operation
This vehicle has a passive
theft-deterrent system. The system
does not have to be manually
armed or disarmed. The vehicle is automatically
immobilized when the vehicle is
turned off.
The system is automatically
disarmed when the vehicle is
started with a valid RKE transmitter
in the vehicle. The RKE transmitter
uses electronic coding that matches
an immobilizer control unit in the
vehicle and automatically disarms
the system. Only a correct
transmitter can be used to turn the
vehicle on.
The security light comes on if there
is a problem with arming or
disarming the theft-deterrent
system.
This light comes on briefly when the
vehicle is turned on. There is a
problem if the engine does not start
and this light stays on.
Turn the ignition off and try again.
