will remain open if it was left open. In
this condition, it will be necessary to
first close the trunk lid as described
under "Trunk Lid Operation" in this
section, and repeat the arming
operation, to be able to arm the alarm
system.
Vehicles equipped with Power Trunk
Lid/Hands Free option a button -
located at the bottom of the trunk lid
and indicated in the figure - that can
be used to completely close and lock
the trunk lid, lock all the doors and
arm the alarm system if all the doors
and trunk lid are closed.
See chapter “ Trunk Lid Operation” in
this section for further information.
Each time the vehicle security alarm is
armed, the anti-intrusion and anti-lift
sensors actively monitor the vehicle.
When arming the security alarm, it is
possible to disable these sensors by pressing the
button on the key fob
three times within 5 seconds from the
moment the system has been armed
(meanwhile the security alarm light
flashes rapidly).
To disarm the System Use any of the following steps to
disarm the vehicle security alarm.
• Press the button on key fob RKE
transmitter.
• Grasp the “Passive Entry” unlock
door handle (see “Passive Entry
System” in this section for further
information).
• Press the START/STOP button so as
to release the OFF position.
NOTE:
• When the vehicle security alarm is
armed, the interior power door lock
switch will not allow unlocking of
the doors.
• The use of the emergency key into
the driver door lock and the use of
the button
on the key fob
cannot arm or disarm the security
alarm of the vehicle.
• The vehicle security alarm remains
engaged while accessing the power
trunk lid. Pressing the button
between the license plate lights will not disarm the vehicle security
alarm. If anyone enters the vehicle
through the trunk lid and opens a
door, the alarm will trigger.
The vehicle security alarm is designed
to protect your vehicle; however, you
can create conditions where the
system will give you a false alarm. If
one of the previously described
arming sequences has occurred, the
vehicle security alarm will arm
regardless of whether you are in the
vehicle or not. If you remain in the
vehicle and open a door, the alarm
will activate. If this occurs, disarm the
vehicle security alarm.
If the vehicle security alarm is armed
and the battery becomes
disconnected, the vehicle security
alarm will remain armed when the
battery is reconnected; the exterior
lights will flash, the buzzer will
activate. If this occurs, disarm the
vehicle security alarm.
Tamper Alert If something has triggered the vehicle
security alarm in your absence, the
horn will sound three times when you
disarm the vehicle security alarm.
Check the vehicle for tampering.Before Starting

Preventing Inadvertent Locking
of the Key fob RKE Transmitter
inside the Vehicle To minimize the possibility of
unintentionally locking a key fob RKE
transmitter inside your vehicle, the
“Passive Entry” system is equipped
with an automatic door unlock
feature which will function if the
ignition switch is in the OFF position.
If one of the vehicle doors is open and
the door panel switch
is used to
lock the vehicle, once all open doors
have been closed, the system checks
the inside and outside of the vehicle
for any valid key fobs RKE transmitter.
If one of the vehicle's key fobs RKE
transmitters is detected inside the
vehicle, and no other valid key fobs
RKE transmitters are detected outside
the vehicle, the “Passive Entry” system
automatically unlocks all vehicle doors
and chirps the horn fourteen times (on
the fifteenth attempt ALL doors will
lock and the key fob RKE transmitter
will be locked in the vehicle). This will
happen even on vehicles equipped
with Power Trunk Lid/Hand Free
pressing RH button on its right lower
part to close and lock the trunk lid. NOTE:
The vehicle unlocks the doors under
any of the following conditions:
• the doors are manually locked using
the door lock knob positioned on
the door panel;
• there is a valid key fob RKE
transmitter inside the vehicle;
• there is not a valid key fob RKE
transmitter outside the vehicle.
NOTE:
The vehicle will not unlock the doors
under any of the following conditions:
• the doors are locked using the key
fob RKE transmitter;
• the doors are locked using the
button on the “Passive Entry” door
handles; • there is a valid key fob RKE
transmitter outside the vehicle and
within 3.3 ft (1 m) of either “Passive
Entry” door handle;
• fifteen attempts are made to lock
the doors using the door panel
switch and/or the RH button
(on
the vehicles equipped with Power
Trunk Lid/Hands Free) and then close
the doors.
If the key fob RKE transmitter is inside
the passenger compartment and one
of the doors locked only to the first
detent of lock pawl (hence it is not
fully closed), when the vehicle lock
function with alarm system for trunk
lid and doors is being activated by
means of RH button
at the bottom
of the trunk lid, said function will be
activated all the same.
In this condition, any attempt to duly
close the door that is partially openBefore Starting
