armed.
If the alarm has been activated, the

Intrusion Sensor
The vehicle's intrusion sensor
monitors the vehicle interior and
provides an alarm signal to the theft
deterrent module in the event of an
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, do the following:
• Make sure all doors, windows and
the sunroof (if equipped) are
completely closed.
• Turn off any fans or blowers.
Moving air may trigger the alarm.
• Be sure to secure any loose items
such as a sunshade or window
blinds.
• Make sure there are no
obstructions blocking the sensors
in the front overhead console.
• Do not hang anything from the
rearview mirror.
If any passengers must remain in the
vehicle, they should lock the doors
from inside using the power door lock
switch after the doors have been
closed. The intrusion sensor will not
be activated.

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.
