Anti-theft Alarm System
This vehicle has an anti-theft alarm system.
Arming the System
To arm the system, press

RKE transmitter.
The alarm automatically arms after about 30 seconds. The security light, located on the instrument panel, flashes.
Press

open the trunk without setting off the
alarm. The system rearms when the
trunk is closed.
Disarming the System
To disarm the system, do one of the following:
• Press 
on the RKE transmitter.
• Approach the vehicle with the RKE transmitter (keyless access).
• Start the engine.
The alarm automatically disarms.
How to Detect a Tamper Condition
If is pressed and the
horn
sounds, an attempted break-in
occurred while the system was
armed.
If the alarm has been activated, a message will appear on the DIC.
See Anti-theft Alarm System Messages for additional information.
Immobilizer
See Radio Frequency Statement for information regarding Part 15 of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) rules and Industry Canada Standards RSS-GEN/210/220/310.
Immobilizer Operation (Key Access)
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 key is removed from the ignition.
The system is automatically disarmed when the vehicle is started with the correct key. The key uses a transponder that matches an immobilizer control unit in the vehicle and automatically disarms the system. Only the correct key starts the vehicle. The vehicle may not start if the key is damaged.
The security light, located in the instrument panel cluster, comes on if there is a problem with arming or disarming the theft-deterrent system.
When trying to start the vehicle, the security light comes on briefly when the ignition is turned on.
If the engine does not start and the security light stays on, there is a problem with the system. Turn the ignition off and try again.
If the engine still does not start, and the key appears to be undamaged or the light continues to stay on, try another ignition key.
If the engine still does not start with the other key, the vehicle needs service. If the vehicle does start, the first key may be damaged. See your dealer who can service the theft-deterrent system and have a new key made.
Do not leave the key or device that disarms or deactivates the theft-deterrent system in the vehicle.
Immobilizer Operation (Keyless Access)
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 transmitter leaves the vehicle.
The immobilization system is disarmed when the ignition button is pushed in and a valid transmitter is found in the vehicle.
The security light, located in the instrument panel cluster, comes on if there is a problem with arming or disarming the theft-deterrent system.
The system has one or more transmitters matched to an immobilizer control unit in your vehicle. Only a correctly matched transmitter will start the vehicle.
If the transmitter is ever damaged, you may not be able to start your vehicle.
When trying to start the vehicle, the security light comes on briefly when the ignition is turned on.
If the engine does not start and the security light stays on, there is a problem with the system. Turn the ignition off and try again.
If the RKE transmitter appears to be undamaged, try another transmitter.
Or, you may try placing the transmitter in the transmitter pocket located in the center console. See “No Remote Detected” under Key and Lock Messages.
If the engine does not start with the other transmitter or when the transmitter is in the pocket in the center console, your vehicle needs service. See your dealer who can service the theft-deterrent system and have a new transmitter programmed to the vehicle.
Do not leave the key or device that disarms or deactivates the theft-deterrent system in the vehicle.
