SECURITY ALARMSYSTEM
Alarm Activation
While armed, the alarm will sound in the
following scenarios:
Opening of doors/hood/trunk lid
(perimeter protection)
Operation of ignition with a key which
is not validated
Cutting of the battery cables
Movement inside the passenger
compartment (volumetric protection —
if equipped)
Unexpected lifting/tilting of the
vehicle (anti-lift protection — if
equipped)
Activation of the alarm triggers the
acoustic warning and the turn signals.
Note: The alarm system is activated by
the Engine Immobilizer system, which is
automatically activated when you get out
of the vehicle with the key fob and lock
the doors.
To Arm The Alarm
With the doors, hood, and trunk lid closed
and the keyless ignition system placed in
the STOP position, push and release the
lock button on the key fob. The alarm can
also be armed by pushing the Passive Entry door handle button, located on the
exterior door handle. For further
information, refer to "Passive Entry" in
"Doors.”
When the alarm is armed, the warning
lights on the panels of the interior front
door handles will flash.
The activation of the alarm is preceded
by a self-diagnosis stage: if a fault is
detected, the system emits a further
acoustic signal.
If a second acoustic signal is emitted
after the alarm is already armed, wait
about four seconds and disarm the alarm
by pushing the unlock button. Verify that
the doors, hood, and trunk lid are closed
correctly and then rearm the system by
pushing the lock button on the key fob.
If the alarm emits an acoustic signal even
when the doors, hood, and trunk lid are
correctly closed, a fault has occurred in
system operation. In this case, contact an
authorized dealer.
To Disarm The Alarm
Push the unlock button to disarm the
alarm. While disarming, the following
operations are performed:
Two brief flashes of the turn signals
(if programmed)
Two brief acoustic signals
(if programmed)
Doors are unlocked

The alarm can also be disarmed using the
Passive Entry System, by grasping one of
the Passive Entry front door handles with
a valid key fob in hand to unlock. For
further information refer to "Passive
Entry" in "Doors.”
Note:The alarm does not disarm when
the doors are unlocked by inserting the
blade of the emergency key, found inside
the key fob, into the door handle lock
cylinder.
Volumetric/Anti-Lift Protection —
If Equipped
To ensure the correct operation of the
Volumetric/Anti-Lift Protection system,
completely close the side windows.
To disable the function, push the
Volumetric/Anti-Lift Protection button
before activating the alarm. When the function is disabled, this is
indicated by the light on the
Volumetric/Anti-Lift Protection button
flashing for several seconds.
Any disabling of the Volumetric/Anti-Lift
Protection must be repeated each time
the instrument panel is switched off.
To Disarm The Alarm Using Passive
Entry

during a long period of vehicle inactivity),
insert the blade of the emergency key,
found inside the key fob, into the door
handle lock cylinder and turn the
emergency key to the right (clockwise) to
lock the door(s).

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
Warning!
Do not leave children or animals inside
parked vehicles in hot weather. Interior heat
build-up may cause serious injury or death.
For personal security and safety in the
event of a collision, lock the vehicle doors as
you drive as well as when you park and leave
the vehicle.
Before exiting a vehicle, always shift the
automatic transmission into PARK, apply
the parking brake, turn the engine OFF,
remove the key fob from the vehicle and
lock your vehicle.
Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or
with access to an unlocked vehicle.
Allowing children to be in a vehicle
unattended is dangerous for a number of
reasons. A child or others could be seriously
or fatally injured. Children should be warned
not to touch the parking brake, brake pedal
or the gear selector.
Do not leave the key fob in or near the
vehicle, or in a location accessible to children.
A child could operate power windows, other
controls, or move the vehicle.
Caution!
An unlocked vehicle is an invitation. Always
remove the key from the ignition and lock all
of the doors when leaving the vehicle
unattended.
Locking/Unlocking Doors From The
Outside
When locking the doors from the outside
with the doors closed, push the lock
button on the key fob.
The door lock can be activated with all
doors locked and the trunk lid open. When
the lock button on the key fob is pushed,
all locks are activated, including the open
trunk lid. The trunk lid will be locked when
it is closed.
When unlocking the doors from the outside,
push the unlock button on the key fob.
Locking/Unlocking Doors From The
Outside In An Emergency
If
the battery is discharged or the key fob is

fob, into the door handle lock cylinder and
turn the emergency key as follows.
Lock — Turn the emergency key to the

Passive Entry
The Passive Entry system can identify
the presence of a key fob near the doors
and trunk lid. The system enables the doors and trunk
lid to be locked or unlocked without
pushing any button on the key fob.
The key fob is detected only after the
system recognizes the presence of a
hand on one of the front door handles. If
the detected key fob is valid, the doors
and the trunk lid are unlocked (refer to
the Information and Entertainment
System Owner’s Manual Supplement for
Passive Entry Settings).
Note:
The key fob may not be able to be
detected by the vehicle keyless-go
system if it is located next to a mobile
phone, laptop or other electronic device;
these devices may block the key fob’s
wireless signal and prevent the
keyless-go system from starting the
vehicle.
Grasping the handle of the driver's door
unlocks the driver's side door, or all doors
depending on the mode set using the
Information and Entertainment System
(refer to the Information and
Entertainment System Owner’s Manual
Supplement for Passive Entry Settings).
Note: If wearing gloves, or if it has rained
and the door handle is wet, the activation
sensitivity of the Passive Entry function
may be reduced, resulting in a longer
reaction time.

door handle button, you must wait two
seconds before the doors can be

not be unlocked again.
The vehicle doors and trunk lid can be
locked by pushing the lock button on the
key fob or on the interior door lock.
Driver Side Door Emergency Opening

its battery is discharged or the vehicle
battery is discharged, the emergency key
can be used to unlock the driver side
door.

and extract the cover pulling downwards.
2. Remove the emergency key from the
key fob housing.

door. Note:
The emergency key blade is not
directional and can be inserted
indifferently into the lock.
