.Lock the vehicle with the manual
door lock lever, the power door
lock switch, or the key, after the
doors are closed.
.Unlock the doors by pressing

Testing the Alarm
To test the alarm:
1. From inside the vehicle, lock the doors with the RKE transmitter.
2. Unlock the door with the manual door lock and open the door.
The pre-alarm should sound
followed by the full alarm about
10 seconds later.
3. Press the unlock button on the RKE transmitter or start the
engine to turn the alarm off.
If the alarm does not sound but the
lights flash, check to see if the horn
works. The horn fuse could be
blown. To replace the fuse, see
Fuses and Circuit Breakers
on
page 10‑39.
If the alarm does not sound or the
front turn signal lamps do not flash,
see your dealer for service.

Immobilizer
Operation (U.S.)
Passlock®is a passive
theft-deterrent system that enables
fuel if the vehicle is started with a
valid key. If an incorrect key is used
or the ignition lock cylinder is
tampered with, the fuel system is
disabled and the vehicle does not
start.
The security light turns off
approximately five seconds after
the engine is started. See Security
Light on page 5‑17.
Keys, Doors and Windows 2-11
If the engine stalls and the security
light flashes, wait about 10 minutes
until the light stops flashing before
trying to restart the engine. Release
the key from START as soon as the
engine starts.
If the engine does not start after
three tries, the vehicle needs
service.
If the engine is running and the
security light comes on, the engine
restarts if you turn the engine off.
However, the Passlock system is
not working properly and must be
serviced by your dealer. The vehicle
is not protected by Passlock at this
time. See your dealer for service.In an emergency, call the Roadside
Assistance Center. See
Roadside
Service on page 13‑5.
Do not leave the key or device that
disarms or deactivates the theft
deterrent system in the vehicle.
Immobilizer Operation
(Canada)
This vehicle has a passive
theft-deterrent system.
The system is automatically armed
when the key is removed from the
ignition.
The system is automatically
disarmed when the key is turned
to ON/RUN. You do not have to manually arm or
disarm the system.
The security light comes on if
there is a problem with arming or
disarming the theft-deterrent
system.
The key uses a transponder that
matches an immobilizer control unit
in the vehicle. Only the correct key
starts the vehicle. If the key is ever
damaged, the vehicle may not start.
When trying to start the vehicle,
if the engine does not start and the
security light comes on, there may
be a problem with the theft-deterrent
system. Turn the ignition off and try
again.
