If the driver door is opened without first
unlocking with the remote key, 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 remote key during the 10-second
pre-alarm, the alarm will be activated.
The alarm will also be activated if a
passenger door, the liftgate, or the hood is
opened without first disarming the system.
When the alarm is activated, the turn
signals flash and the horn sounds for about
30 seconds. The alarm system will then
re-arm to monitor for the next unauthorized
event.
Disarming the Alarm System
To disarm the alarm system or turn off the
alarm if it has been activated:
.Press Kon the remote key.
.Unlock the vehicle using the Keyless
Access system.
.Start the vehicle.
To avoid setting off the alarm by accident:
.Lock the vehicle after all occupants have

.Always unlock a door with the remote
key, or use the Keyless Access system.
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 Kis pressed on the remote key and the
horn chirps 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.
Inclination Sensor and Intrusion Sensor
In addition to the standard theft-deterrent
system features, this system may also have
a inclination sensor and intrusion sensor.
The inclination sensor can set off 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 all doors and windows are
completely closed.
.Secure any loose items such as a
sunshades.
.Make sure there are no obstructions
blocking the sensors in the front overhead
console.
.Close DVD screens before leaving the
vehicle.
Steering Column Lock
If equipped, the steering column lock is a
theft-deterrent device. This feature locks the
steering column when the vehicle is turned
off and the driver door is opened, or when
the driver door is opened and then the
vehicle is turned off. The steering column
unlocks when the vehicle is turned on.
The Driver Information Center (DIC) may
display one of these messages:
.A message to service the steering column
lock indicates that an issue has been
detected with the column lock feature
and the vehicle should be serviced.
.A message that the steering column is
locked indicates that the veihlce is on, but
the steering column is still locked. It is
normal for the column to be locked
during a remote start, but the column

20 Keys, Doors, and Windows
should unlock after the brake pedal is
pressed and the vehicle is started. No
message will display during a remote
start.
.A message that the steering wheel must
be turned and the vehicle must be started
again indicates that the column lock
mechanism is bound, the column locking
device was unable to unlock the steering
column, and the vehicle did not start.
If this happens, immediately turn the
steering wheel from side to side to
unbind the column lock. If this does not
unlock the steering column, turn the
vehicle off and open the driver door to
reset the system. Then turn the vehicle
on and immediately turn the steering
wheel side to side for about 15 seconds.
In some cases, it may take significant
force to unbind the column.
To keep the steering column from binding,
straighten the front wheels before turning
off the vehicle.
Immobilizer
See Radio Frequency Statement 0218.
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 vehicle is turned on and a valid
remote key is present in the vehicle.
The security light, in the instrument cluster,
comes on if there is a problem with arming
or disarming the theft-deterrent system.
The system has one or more remote keys
matched to an immobilizer control unit in
the vehicle. Only a correctly matched
remote key will start the vehicle. If the
remote key is ever damaged, you may not
be able to start your vehicle.
When trying to start the vehicle, the
security light may come on briefly.
If the vehicle does not start and the security
light stays on, there is a problem with the
system. Turn the vehicle off and try again.
If the vehicle will not turn on or off, and the
remote key appears to be undamaged, try
another remote key. Or, you may try
placing the remote key in the backup
location. See Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
System Operation 07.
If the vehicle will not turn on or off with
the other remote key or in the backup
location, the vehicle needs service. If the
vehicle does turn on or off, the first remote
key may be faulty. See your dealer.
It is possible for the immobilizer system to
learn new or replacement remote keys. Up
to eight remote keys can be programmed
for the vehicle. To program additional
remote keys, see “Programming Remote
Keys to the Vehicle”under Remote Keyless
Entry (RKE) System Operation 07.
Do not leave the remote key or device that
disarms or deactivates the theft-deterrent
system in the vehicle.
