.Lock the vehicle after all
occupants have left the vehicle
and all doors are closed.
. Always unlock a door with the
RKE transmitter or use the Keyless
Access system.
Unlocking the driver door with the key

Power Sounder, Inclination
Sensor, and Intrusion Sensor
In addition to the standard
theft-deterrent system features, this
system may also have an inclination
sensor, an intrusion sensor, and power
sounder.
The power sounder provides an
audible alarm that is different from
the vehicle’s horn. It has its own
power source, and can sound an alarm
when the vehicle’s battery is
compromised.
The inclination sensor can set off the
alarm if it senses movement of the
vehicle, such as a change in vehicle
orientation.
The intrusion sensor monitors the
vehicle interior, and can set off the
alarm if it senses an unauthorized
entry into the vehicle’s interior. Do
not allow passengers or pets to remain
in the vehicle when the intrusion
sensor is activated. Before arming the theft-deterrent
system and activating the intrusion
sensor:
.
Make sure all doors and windows
are completely closed.
. Secure any loose items such as a
sunshades.
. Make sure there are no
obstructions blocking the sensors
in the front overhead console.
Inclination and Intrusion
Sensors Disable Switch
It is recommended that the inclination
and intrusion sensors be deactivated if
pets are left in the vehicle or if the
vehicle is being transported.
With the vehicle turned off, press
o
in the overhead console. The indicator
light will come on momentarily,
indicating that the sensor has been
disabled until the next time the alarm
system is armed.
