Disarming the System
To disarm the system, either unlock
the doors using the transmitter,
or start the vehicle with a
recognized transmitter in the
vehicle.
To avoid setting off the alarm by
accident:
.
Lock the vehicle with the
transmitter after all occupants
have left the vehicle and all
doors are closed.
.
Always unlock a door with the
transmitter. Unlocking the driver
door with the key will not disarm
the alarm.
If you set off the alarm by accident,
turn off the alarm by pressing
K
on
the transmitter, or start the vehicle
with a recognized transmitter in the
vehicle. The alarm will not stop if
you unlock the driver door with
the key.
How to Detect a Tamper
Condition
If
K
is pressed and the horn chirps
three times, an attempted break-in
occurred while the system was
armed.
If the alarm has been activated, a
message will appear on the DIC.

Immobilizer Operation
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 vehicle is
turned off.
The immobilization system is
disarmed when the pushbutton start
is activated to enter the ACC/
ACCESSORY mode or the ON/
RUN/START mode and a valid
transmitter is present 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 RKE
transmitters matched to an
immobilizer control unit in your
vehicle. Only a correctly matched
RKE transmitter will start the
