PASSIVE ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM
Note:
The system is not compatible with
aftermarket remote start systems. Use of
these systems may result in vehicle starting
problems and a loss of security protection.
Note: Metallic objects, electronic devices or
a second coded key on the same key chain
may cause vehicle starting problems if they
are too close to the key when starting the
engine. Prevent these objects from touching
the coded key while starting the engine.
Switch the ignition off, move all objects on
the key chain away from the coded key and
restart the engine if a problem occurs.
Note: Do not leave a duplicate coded key
in the vehicle. Always take your keys and
lock all doors when leaving the vehicle. SecuriLock™
The system is an engine immobilization
system. The intended design is to help
prevent the engine from starting unless a
coded key programmed to your vehicle is
used. Using the wrong key may prevent the
engine from starting. A message may appear
in the information display.
If you are unable to start the engine with a
correctly coded key, a malfunction has
happened and a message may appear in the
information display.
Automatic Arming
The vehicle arms immediately after you
switch the ignition off.
Automatic Disarming
If you switch the ignition on with a coded key
you disarm the vehicle. If you unlock the

USING POWER RUNNING BOARDS
WARNING: In extreme climates,
excessive ice buildup may occur, causing
the running boards not to deploy. Make
sure that the running boards have
deployed, and have finished moving before
attempting to step on them. The running
boards will resume normal function once
the blockage is cleared. WARNING:
Switch off the running
boards before jacking or placing any object
under your vehicle. Never place your hand
between the extended running board and
your vehicle. A moving running board may
cause injury.
Note: Do not use the running boards, front
and rear hinge assemblies, running board
motors, or the running board underbody
mounts to lift your vehicle when jacking.
Always use proper jacking points.
Note: The running boards may operate more
slowly in cool temperatures. Note:
The running board mechanism may
trap debris such as mud, dirt, snow, ice and
salt. This may cause unwanted noise. If this
happens, manually set the running boards
to the deployed position. Then, wash the
system, in particular the front and rear hinge
arms, with a high-pressure car wash wand.
Automatic Power Deploy The running boards automatically extend
down and out when you open the door. This
can help you enter and exit your vehicle.For vehicles with intelligent access, the
remote control determines your proximity to
the vehicle. As the remote control enters
approximately
8.9 ft (2.7 m) of the vehicle,
some exterior lights illuminate and the power
running boards deploy automatically. In
addition to deploying on both sides of the
vehicle, there is illumination around the
power running boards. The deployment is
configurable in the advanced settings of the
information display. If the configuration is
turned off, the power running boards do not
automatically deploy.
Note: Automatic power deploy approach
detection does not unlock or lock the vehicle.
It also does not interfere with the alarm
system.
Automatic Power Stow
When you close the doors, the running
boards return to the stowed position after a
two-second delay.
