Anti-theft Locking System

The vehicle is equipped with a
deadbolt locking feature in addition
to the standard door locks.
The deadbolt is engaged whenever
you press on the RKE transmitter
twice within five seconds with all
doors closed and the vehicle off.
The deadbolt lock can also be
engaged with the Keyless Access
system. See Keyless Access
Operation under Remote Keyless
Entry (RKE) System Operation 0 25.
When the doors are secured with
the deadbolt, they cannot be
unlocked or opened using the
controls or handles inside the
vehicle.
Press on the transmitter once to
open the deadbolt and unlock the
driver door. Pressing the button
again within five seconds will unlock
all of the doors.

Immobiliser Operation

The vehicle has a passive
theft-deterrent system.
The security light comes on in the
instrument cluster if there is a
problem with arming or disarming
the theft-deterrent system. This light
also comes on briefly when the
engine is started.
The system is automatically armed
when the ignition is turned off.
The immobilisation system is
disarmed when the ignition is placed
in ACC/ACCESSORY or ON/RUN/
START and a valid transmitter is
found in the vehicle.
You do not have to manually arm or
disarm the system.
The system has one or more RKE
transmitters that are matched to an
immobiliser control unit in the
vehicle. Only a correctly matched
RKE transmitter starts the vehicle.
The vehicle may not start if the RKE
transmitter is damaged.
If the engine does not start and the
security light comes on, there may
be a problem with the immobiliser
system. Press the ENGINE START/
STOP button again.
If the vehicle does not start and the
RKE transmitter appears to be
undamaged, try another RKE
transmitter. Or, place the transmitter
in the transmitter pocket. See NO
REMOTE DETECTED under Key
and Lock Messages 0 120. Check
the fuse. See Fuses 0 238. If the
engine still does not start with the
other transmitter, the vehicle needs
service. If the engine does start, the
first transmitter may be faulty. See
your dealer or have a new RKE
transmitter programmed to the
vehicle.
