Leaving children unattended in
a vehicle with the ignition key is
dangerous even if the key is not
in the ignition. Children copy
adults and they could place the
key in the ignition. The ignition
key would enable children to
operate power windows or other
controls, or even make the vehi-
cle move, which could result in
serious bodily injury or even
death. Never leave the keys in
your vehicle with unsupervised
children.

Alarm stageThe alarm will be activated if any of
the following occurs while the system
is armed.
A front or rear door is opened with-out using the ignition key or trans-
mitter.
The rear hatch/window is opened without using the ignition key or
transmitter.
The engine hood is opened.
The siren will sound and the hazard
warning lights will blink continuously
for 27 seconds, and repeat the alarm
3 times unless the system is dis-
armed. To turn off the system, unlock
the doors with the ignition key or
transmitter.✽ ✽ NOTICEAvoid trying to start the engine
while the alarm is activated. The
vehicle starting motor is disabled

ing the unlock button on the transmit-
ter or unlocked with the ignition key.
After depressing unlock button, the
hazard warning lights will blink twice

onds, the system will be rearmed.
If the system is not disarmed with the
ignition key or transmitter, insert the
key in the ignition switch, turn the key
to the ON position and wait for 30
seconds. Then the system will be dis-
armed. Your vehicle is equipped with an elec-
tronic engine immobilizer system to
reduce the risk of unauthorized vehi-
cle use.
Your immobilizer system is comprised
of a small transponder in the ignition
key, and antenna coil in the key cylin-
der and Immobilizer Control Unit (or
Smartra Unit).
With this system, whenever you insert
your ignition key into the ignition
switch and turn it to ON, the antenna
coil in the ignition switch receives a
signal from the transponder in the
ignition key and then sends the signal
to the ECU (Engine Control Unit).
The ECU checks the signal whether
the ignition key is valid.
If the key is determined to be valid,
the engine will start.
If the key is determined to be invalid,
the engine will not start.
