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
oon 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 0315.
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.
If the engine does not start and the security
light comes on, there may be a problem
with the immobilizer system. Try starting
the vehicle again.
If the vehicle does not start and the remote
key appears to be undamaged, try another
remote key. Or, place the remote key in the
cupholder backup location. See
Remote
Keyless Entry (RKE) System Operation 07.
If the engine still does not start with the
other remote key, or with the remote key in
the cupholder backup location, the vehicle
needs service. If the engine does start, the

Seats and Restraints 57
Warning (Continued)
Use caution if you should attempt to
restart the engine after a crash has
occurred.
In many crashes severe enough to inflate
the airbag, windshields are broken by
vehicle deformation. Additional windshield
breakage may also occur from the front
outboard passenger airbag.
.Airbags are designed to inflate only once.
After an airbag inflates, you will need
some new parts for the airbag system.
If you do not get them, the airbag
system will not be there to help protect
you in another crash. A new system will
include airbag modules and possibly other
parts. The service manual for the vehicle
covers the need to replace other parts.
.The vehicle has a crash sensing and
diagnostic module which records
information after a crash. See Vehicle
Data Recording and Privacy 0316 and
Event Data Recorders 0317.
.Let only qualified technicians work on the
airbag system. Improper service can mean
that the airbag system will not work
properly. See your dealer for service.
Passenger Sensing System
The vehicle has a passenger sensing system
for the front outboard passenger position.
The passenger airbag status indicator will
light on the overhead console when the
vehicle is started.
United States
Canada and Mexico
The words ON and OFF, or the symbols for
on and off, will be visible during the system
check. When the system check is complete, either
the word ON or OFF, or the symbol for on
or off, will be visible. See
Passenger Airbag
Status Indicator 085.
The passenger sensing system turns off the
front outboard passenger frontal airbag
under certain conditions. No other airbag is
affected by the passenger sensing system.
The passenger sensing system works with
sensors that are part of the front outboard
passenger seat and seat belt.
The sensors are designed to detect the
presence of a properly-seated occupant and
determine if the front outboard passenger
frontal airbag should be allowed to inflate
or not.
According to accident statistics, children are
safer when properly secured in a rear seat
in the correct child restraint for their weight
and size.
Rear-facing child restraints should not be
transported in the vehicle, even if the airbag
is off.
Never put a rear-facing child seat in the
front. This is because the risk to the
rear-facing child is so great, if the airbag
inflates.
