VEHICLE SECURITY
ALARM SYSTEM — IF
EQUIPPED
Modifications And
Add-On Equipment
FCA cannot guarantee the immobilizer
and the Security Alarm System
operation if the system has been
modified or if any add-on equipment
has been installed.
Note:To avoid damage to the vehicle,
do not modify the system or install any
add-on equipment to the immobilizer
and the Security Alarm System or the
vehicle.
Immobilizer System
The immobilizer system allows the
engine to start only with a key fob the
system recognizes.
If someone attempts to start the engine
with an unrecognized key fob, the
engine will not start, thereby helping to
prevent unlawful vehicle use.
If you have a problem with the
immobilizer system or the key fob,
contact an Authorized Dealership.
To avoid damage to the key fob, do not:
Drop the key fob.
Get the key fob wet.
Expose the key fob to any kind of
magnetic field.
Expose the key fob to high
temperatures on places such as the
instrument panel, hood, or under direct
sunlight.
Note:
Changes or modifications not
expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void
the user's authority to operate the
equipment.
If the engine does not start with the
correct key fob, and thewarning
light keeps illuminating or flashing, the
system may have a malfunction.
Contact an Authorized Dealership.
The key fobs carry a unique
electronic code. For this reason, and to
assure your safety, obtaining a
replacement key fob can only be done
through your Authorized Dealership,
and will require some waiting time.
Always keep a spare key fob in
case one is lost. If a key fob is lost,
contact an Authorized Dealership as
soon as possible.
If you lose a key fob, an Authorized
Dealership will reset the electronic
codes of your remaining key fobs and
immobilizer system. Bring all the
remaining key fobs to an Authorized
Dealership to reset. Starting the vehicle
with a key fob that has not been reset
is not possible. Operation
The engine may not start and
warning light may illuminate or flash
if the key fob is placed in an area where
it is difficult for the system to detect the
signal, such as on the instrument panel.
Move the key fob to a location within
the signal range, cycle the ignition off,
and then restart the engine.
Note: Signals from a TV, radio station,
transceiver, or mobile telephone could
interfere with your immobilizer system. If
you are using the proper key fob and
the engine fails to start, check the
warning light.
Arming
The system is armed when the ignition
is cycled from the ON to OFF position.
The
warning light in the instrument
cluster flashes every two seconds until
the system is disarmed.
Disarming
The system is disarmed when the
ignition is placed in the ON position with
the correct programmed key fob. The
warning light illuminates for about
three seconds and then turns off. If the
engine does not start with the correct
key fob, and the
warning light
remains illuminated or flashing, try the
following:
Make sure the key fob is within the
operational range for signal
transmission.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

Cycle the ignition off, and then restart
the engine. If the engine does not start
after three or more tries, contact an
Authorized Dealership.
Note:
If thewarning light flashes
continuously while you are driving, do
not turn the engine OFF. Contact an
Authorized Dealership and have it
checked. If the engine is shut off while
the
warning light is flashing, you
will not be able to restart it.
Because the electronic codes are
reset when the immobilizer system is
repaired, the keys are needed. Make
sure to bring all the key fobs to an
Authorized Dealership so that they can
be programmed.
Vehicle Security Alarm
System — If Equipped
If the Vehicle Security Alarm System
detects an inappropriate entry into the
vehicle or the intrusion sensor detects
movement in the vehicle which could
result in the vehicle or its contents
being stolen, the alarm alerts the
surrounding area of an abnormality by
sounding the siren/horn and flashing
the hazard warning lights.
The system will not function unless it's
properly armed. So when you leave the
vehicle, follow the arming procedure
correctly. Siren/Horn Triggering Conditions
The siren/horn sounds intermittently
and the hazard warning lights flash for
about 30 seconds when the system is
triggered by any one of the following:
Unlocking a door with an inside
door-lock knob.
Forcing open a door, the engine
compartment or the trunk lid.
Opening the hood by operating the
hood release handle.
Placing the ignition in the ON position
without starting the engine.
With the intrusion sensor: the
intrusion sensor detects a movement in
the vehicle.
The system will be triggered again (up
to 10 times) if one of the above
conditions remains.
The trunk lid will not open when the
Vehicle Security Alarm is activated.
If the battery becomes drained while
the Vehicle Security Alarm is armed, the
siren will activate and the hazard
warning lights will flash during the
battery charging or replacement
process. How To Arm The System
Close the windows and the
convertible top securely.
Place the ignition in the OFF position.
Make sure the engine compartment,
convertible top, the doors, and the
trunk lid are closed.
Push the lock button on the key fob
or lock the driver's door from the
outside with the emergency key. The
hazard warning lights will flash once.
With the Advanced Keyless Entry
function: push a request switch. The
warning light in the instrument
panel flashes twice per second for
20 seconds. After 20 seconds the
system is fully armed.
The Vehicle Security Alarm System can
also be armed by activating the auto
re-lock function with all the doors, the
trunk lid and the engine compartment
closed.
The system will disarm if one of the
following operations takes place within
20 seconds after pushing the lock
button: To rearm the system, preform
the arming procedure again.
1. Unlocking any door
2. Opening any door
3. Opening the engine compartment

Settings Changing
Settings can be changed using the
following procedure:
1. Safely park the vehicle. Both doors
must remain closed.
2. Place the ignition in the ON position.
3. Push and hold the lock side of the
driver's door-lock switch within
20 seconds of placing the ignition in the
ON position, and make sure a beep
sound is heard about eight seconds
afterwards.
4. Refer to the auto lock/unlock
function setting table, determine the
function number for the desired setting.
Push the unlock side of the driver's
door-lock switch the same number of
times as the selected function number
(example: if you select function 2, push
the unlock side of the switch only two
times).
5. Three seconds after the function
setting has been changed, a beep

Function number 3 = three beep
sounds). Automatic Transmission Vehicles
The doors cannot be locked or
unlocked while the setting function is
being performed.
The procedure can be cancelled by
pushing the lock side of the door-lock
switch.
Note:
The vehicle lock-out prevention
feature prevents you from locking
yourself out of the vehicle. Both doors,
trunk lid, and the fuel filler door will
automatically unlock if they are locked
using the power door locks with any
door open. If both the doors are closed
even though the trunk lid is open, both
the doors and the fuel filler door will
lock.
Door Unlock (Control) System
With Collision Detection — if
equipped : this system automatically
unlocks the doors, trunk lid, and the
fuel filler door in the event the vehicle is
involved in an accident to allow
passengers to get out of the vehicle
immediately and prevent being trapped
inside. While the ignition is placed in the ON position and in the event the
vehicle receives an impact strong
enough to inflate the air bags, both the
doors, the trunk lid, and fuel filler door
are automatically unlocked after about
six seconds have elapsed from the
time of the accident. The doors, trunk
lid, and the fuel filler door may not
unlock depending on how an impact is
applied, the force of the impact, and
other conditions of the accident. If
door-related systems or the battery is
malfunctioning, the doors, trunk lid,
and the fuel filler door will not unlock.
When opening a door, the power
windows open a little automatically.
When closing the door, the power
windows close automatically. This is a
function for improving the sealing of
the window, and it does not mean
there is a problem. If the vehicle battery
is disconnected for vehicle
maintenance or other reasons, the
power windows will not open or close
automatically. If the power windows do
not open or close, the automatic
open/close mechanism for the
windows must be reset.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

Secure all loose objects inside before
driving with the convertible top down.
To help prevent theft or vandalism
and to ensure that the passenger
compartment stays dry, close the
convertible top securely and lock both
doors when leaving the vehicle.
The soft top is made of high quality
material and if it is not maintained
correctly, the material could harden,
becomes stained, or have an uneven
gloss.
Lowering the convertible top while
it's wet can also cause water to drip
into the cabin.
The power windows go down
automatically in conjunction with the
convertible top opening/closing.
However, this is a function for improving
the operability, and it does not mean
there is a problem. If the vehicle battery
is disconnected for vehicle maintenance
or other reasons, the power windows
will not go down automatically. If the
power windows do not go down, the
automatic open/close mechanism for
the windows must be reset.
The windblocker reduces the amount
of wind coming into the cabin from
behind when driving with the
convertible top opened.
Before starting the vehicle make sure
the convertible top is correctly locked.
Caution!
Before opening the convertible top,
make sure the rear window defroster
switch is turned off. Otherwise the heat
generated from the window defroster
could damage the convertible top and the
internal material.
