PASSIVE ANTI-THEFT
SYSTEM
Principle of Operation
The system prevents someone from
starting the engine with an incorrectly
coded key.
Note: Do not leave correctly coded keys in
the vehicle. Always take your keys and lock
all doors when leaving the vehicle.
Coded Keys
If you lose a key, you can obtain a
replacement from an authorized dealer. If
possible, provide them with the key
number from the tag provided with the
original keys. You can also obtain extra
keys from an authorized dealer.
Note: Have all of your remaining keys
erased and recoded if you lose a key. Have
replacement keys coded together with
recoding your remaining keys. See an
authorized dealer for further information.
Note: Do not shield your keys with metal
objects. This may prevent the receiver from
recognizing a coded key.
Arming the Engine Immobilizer
When you switch the ignition off the engine
immobilizer will arm automatically after a
short time.
Disarming the Engine Immobilizer
When you switch the ignition on the engine
immobilizer will disarm automatically if a
correctly coded key is used.
If you are unable to start the engine with a
correctly coded key, have your vehicle
checked by an authorized dealer.

ANTI-THEFT ALARM

Alarm System
Your vehicle may have one of the following
alarm systems:
• Category one alarm with interior
sensors and battery back-up sounder
• perimeter alarm.
Perimeter Alarm
The perimeter alarm is a deterrent against
unauthorized access to your vehicle
through the doors and the hood. It also
protects the audio unit.
Interior Sensors
Note: If your vehicle has a mesh bulkhead
or no bulkhead the sensors will scan the
complete interior. If your vehicle has any
other type of bulkhead the sensors will only
scan the cabin area.
Note: Do not cover up the interior scanning
sensors.
The sensors act as a deterrent against
unauthorized intrusion by sensing any
movement within your vehicle.
