{Warning
Leaving children in a vehicle with
the ignition key is dangerous and
children or others could be
seriously injured or killed. They
could operate the power windows
or other controls or make the
vehicle move. The windows will
function with the keys in the
ignition, and children or others
could be caught in the path of a
closing window. Do not leave
children in a vehicle with the
ignition key.

Keys, Doors, and Windows 27
Avoid setting off the alarm by
accident by locking the vehicle after
all occupants have left the vehicle
and all doors are closed.
To avoid setting off the alarm by
accident:
.Lock the vehicle after all
occupants have exited.
. Always unlock the vehicle with
the RKE transmitter.
Unlocking the driver door with the
key will not disarm the system or
turn off the alarm.
How to Detect a Tamper
Condition
IfKis pressed on the RKE
transmitter and the horn chirps and
the lights flash three times, an alarm
occurred previously while the
system was armed.
Steering Column Lock
If equipped, the steering column
lock is a theft-deterrent device. This
feature locks the steering column
when the vehicle is turned off and the driver door is opened, or when
the driver door is opened and then
the vehicle is turned off. The
steering column unlocks when the
vehicle is turned on.
The Driver Information Center (DIC)
may display one of these
messages:
.
A message to service the
steering column lock indicates
that an issue has been detected
with the column lock feature and
the vehicle should be serviced.
. A message that the steering
column is locked indicates that
the engine is running, but the
steering column is still locked.
It is normal for the column to be
locked during a remote start, but
the column should unlock after
the brake pedal is pressed and
the vehicle is started. No
message will display during a
remote start.
. A message that the steering
wheel must be turned and the
vehicle must be started again
indicates that the column lock
mechanism is bound, the column locking device was unable to
unlock the steering column, and
the vehicle did not start. If this
happens, immediately turn the
steering wheel from side to side
to unbind the column lock. If this
does not unlock the steering
column, turn the vehicle off and
open the driver door to reset the
system. Then turn the vehicle on
and immediately turn the
steering wheel side to side for
about 15 seconds. In some
cases, it may take significant
force to unbind the column.
To keep the steering column from
binding, straighten the front wheels
before turning off the vehicle.

28 Keys, Doors, and Windows
The system does not have to be
manually armed or disarmed.
The vehicle is automatically
immobilized when the transmitter
leaves the vehicle.
The immobilization system is
disarmed when ENGINE START/
STOP is pressed and a valid
transmitter is found in the vehicle.
The security light in the instrument
cluster comes on when there is a
problem with arming or disarming
the theft-deterrent system.
The system has one or more
transmitters matched to an
immobilizer control unit in your
vehicle. Only a correctly matched
transmitter will start the vehicle.
If the transmitter is ever damaged,
you may not be able to start your
vehicle.When trying to start the vehicle, the
security light comes on briefly when
the ignition is turned on.
If the engine does not start and the
security light stays on, there is a
problem with the system. Turn the
vehicle off and try again.
If the RKE transmitter appears to be
undamaged, try another transmitter.
Or, you may try placing the
transmitter in the front cupholder.
See
“Starting the Vehicle with a Low
Transmitter Battery” underRemote
Keyless Entry (RKE) System
Operation (Keyless Access) 010 or
Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
System Operation (Key Access)
0 17.
If the engine does not start with the
other transmitter or when the
transmitter is in the front cupholder,
the vehicle needs service. See your
dealer who can service the
theft-deterrent system and have a
new transmitter programmed to the
vehicle. Do not leave the transmitter or
device that disarms or deactivates
the theft-deterrent system in the
vehicle.
Immobilizer Operation
(Key Access)
This vehicle has a passive
theft-deterrent system.
The system does not have to be
manually armed or disarmed.
The vehicle is automatically
immobilized when the key is
removed from the ignition.
The system is automatically
disarmed when the vehicle is
started with the correct key. The key
uses a transponder that matches an
immobilizer control unit in the
vehicle and automatically disarms
the system. Only an authorized key
starts the vehicle. The vehicle may
not start if the key is damaged.
