The vehicle alarm system will not
arm if the doors are locked with the
mechanical key.
If the driver door is opened without
first unlocking with the RKE
transmitter or pressing a button on
an outside door handle while the
RKE transmitter is within 1 m of the
door handle, the horn will chirp and
the lights will flash to indicate
pre-alarm. If the vehicle is not
started, or the door is not unlocked
by pressing
K
on the RKE
transmitter, or pressing a button on
an outside door handle while the
RKE transmitter is within 1 m of the
door handle during the 10 second
pre-alarm, the alarm will be
activated.
If another door, the bonnet, or the
liftgate is opened without first
disarming the system, the turn
signals will flash and the horn will
sound for about 30 seconds. The
alarm system will then re-arm to
monitor for the next unauthorised
event.
Disarming the Alarm System
To disarm the alarm system or turn
off the alarm if it has been activated:
.
Press
K
on the RKE transmitter.
.
Press the lock/unlock button on
an outside door handle while the
RKE transmitter is within 1 m of
the door handle.
.
Start the vehicle.
To avoid setting off the alarm by
accident:
.
Lock the vehicle after all
occupants have left the vehicle
and all doors are closed.
.
Always unlock a door with the
RKE transmitter or press a
button on an outside door
handle while the RKE transmitter
is within 1 m of the door handle.
Unlocking the driver door with the
mechanical key will not disarm the
system or turn off the alarm.
How to Detect a Tamper
Condition
If
K
is pressed on the RKE
transmitter and the horn chirps and
the lights flash three times, an alarm
occurred previously while the alarm
system was armed.
If the alarm has been activated, a
message will appear on the DIC.
Immobiliser Operation
This vehicle has a passive
immobiliser system.
The system does not have to be
manually armed or disarmed.
The vehicle is automatically
immobilised when the vehicle is
turned off.
The immobilisation system is
disarmed when the engine is started
or the ignition is in Accessory mode
and a valid RKE transmitter is
present in the vehicle.
The RKE transmitters are matched
to your vehicle. Only a correctly
matched RKE transmitter will start
