28 Keys, Doors, and Windows
Inclination Sensor and
Intrusion Sensor
In addition to the standard
theft-deterrent system features, this
system may also have an inclination
sensor and intrusion sensor.
The inclination sensor can activate
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 activate the
alarm if it senses 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 both doors and
windows are completely closed.
. Secure any loose items such as
sunshades.
. Make sure there are no
obstructions blocking the
sensors.
Intrusion and Inclination
Sensors Disable Switch
It is recommended that the intrusion
and inclination sensors be
deactivated if pets are left in the
vehicle or if the vehicle is being
transported.
When the roof panel is off, or the
convertible top is down, the
intrusion system is turned off.
With the vehicle turned off, press
o
on the overhead console, next to
OnStar. The indicator light will
display momentarily, indicating that
these sensors have been disabled
until the next time the alarm system
is armed.
Immobilizer
See Radio Frequency Statement
0 312.
Immobilizer Operation
The vehicle has a passive
theft-deterrent system.
The security light comes on in the
instrument cluster if there is a
problem with arming or disarming
the theft-deterrent system. This light
also comes on briefly when the
engine is started.
The system is automatically armed
when the ignition is turned off.
The immobilization system is
disarmed when the ignition is turned
on or placed in ACC/ACCESSORY
and a valid remote key is found in
the vehicle.
You do not have to manually arm or
disarm the system.
The system has one or more remote
keys that are matched to an
immobilizer control unit in the
vehicle. Only a correctly matched
remote key starts the vehicle. The
vehicle may not start if the remote
key is damaged.
