Power Sounder,
Inclination Sensor, and
Intrusion Sensor
In addition to the standard
theft-deterrent system
features, this system may also
have an inclination sensor, an
intrusion sensor, and power
sounder.
The power sounder provides
an audible alarm that is
different 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.
The intrusion sensor monitors
the vehicle interior, and can
set off the alarm if it senses
an unauthorized entry into the
vehicle’s interior. Do not allow
passengers or pets to remain
in the vehicle when the
intrusion sensor is activated.
Before arming the
theft-deterrent system and
activating the intrusion sensor:
.Make sure all doors and
windows are completely
closed.
.Secure any loose items such
as a sunshades.
.Make sure there are no
obstructions blocking the
sensors in the front
overhead console.

column lock is a
theft-deterrent device. This
feature locks the steering
column when the vehicle is
turned off and the driver door
is opened, or when the driver
door is opened and then the
vehicle is turned off. The
steering column unlocks when
the vehicle is turned on. The Driver Information Center
(DIC) may display one of these
messages:
.A message to service the
steering column lock
indicates that an issue has
been detected with the
column lock feature and the
vehicle should be serviced.
.A message that the steering
column is locked indicates
that the engine is running,
but the steering column is
still locked. It is normal for
the column to be locked
during a remote start, but
the column should unlock
after the brake pedal is
pressed and the vehicle is
started. No message will
display during a remote
start.
.A message that the steering
wheel must be turned and
the vehicle must be started
again indicates that the
column lock mechanism is
bound, the column locking
device was unable to unlock
the steering column, and thevehicle did not start. If this
happens, immediately turn
the steering wheel from side
to side to unbind the column
lock. If this does not unlock
the steering column, turn the
vehicle off and open the
driver door to reset the
system. Then turn the
vehicle on and immediately
turn the steering wheel side
to side for about 15 seconds.
