Theft-Deterrent Systems
Vehicle theft is big business, especially in some
cities. Although your vehicle has a number of
theft-deterrent features, we know that nothing we
put on it can make it impossible to steal.
Content Theft-Deterrent
The remote keyless entry transmitter is used to
arm/disarm the theft-deterrent system. Your
vehicle’s theft-deterrent system can be
programmed to three different modes.
Active Arming:The system will arm when the
lock button on the remote keyless entry transmitter
is pressed. The system will disarm when the
unlock button is pressed.
Passive Arming:The system will arm itself
one minute after the ignition is turned off and the
driver’s door has been opened and closed.
If the lock button on the transmitter is pressed
before the minute has passed, the system will arm
immediately. The system will disarm when the
unlock button is pressed.Security System Disable:The system will
not arm.
To change the mode that your vehicle is
programmed to, do the following:
1. Turn the ignition to RUN or ACC.
2. Press the panic alarm button on the
transmitter slowly four times within
ve seconds.
3. You must complete one of the following within
three seconds to change the mode.
To select the active arming mode, press the
lock button on the transmitter.
To select the passive arming mode, press
the lock button on the transmitter twice
within 3 seconds.
To select the security system disable mode,
press the unlock button on the transmitter.
A chime will sound once the mode has been
selected.

If you accidentally set off the alarm when
entering/exiting the vehicle, you can shut it off by
pressing any button on the remote keyless
entry transmitter other than the panic alarm button.
If you hear three horn chirps when you press
the unlock button on the transmitter, that means
the vehicle’s alarm was triggered while you
were away.

Passlock®theft-deterrent system.

If your vehicle has a rear seat that will
accommodate a rear-facing child restraint, a label
on your sun visor says, “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
deploys.
{CAUTION:
Even though the passenger sensing
system is designed to turn off the
passenger’s frontal airbag if the system
detects a rear-facing child restraint,
no system is fail-safe, and no one can
guarantee that an airbag will not deploy
under some unusual circumstance, even
though it is turned off. We recommend
that rear-facing child restraints be secured
in the rear seat, even if the airbag is off.If your vehicle does not have a rear seat that
will accommodate a rear-facing child restraint,
never put a child in a rear-facing child restraint
in the right front passenger seat unless the
passenger airbag status indicator shows off and
the airbag is off. Here is why:
