Inclination Sensor and Intrusion Sensor
In addition to the standard theft-deterrent
system features, this system may also have
an inclination sensor and intrusion sensor.
The inclination sensor can activate 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 activate the alarm if it
senses 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 both doors and windows are
completely closed.
.Secure any loose items such as
sunshades.
.Make sure there are no obstructions
blocking the sensors.
Intrusion and Inclination Sensors Disable
Switch
It is recommended that the intrusion and
inclination sensors be deactivated if pets are
left in the vehicle or if the vehicle is being
transported.When the roof panel is off, or the

the ignition is turned off.
The immobilization system is disarmed
when the ignition is turned on or placed in
ACC/ACCESSORY and a valid remote key is
found in the vehicle.

The system has one or more remote keys
that are matched to an immobilizer control
unit in the vehicle. Only a correctly matched
remote key starts the vehicle. The vehicle
may not start if the remote key is damaged.
If the engine does not start and the security
light comes on, there may be a problem
with the immobilizer system. Try starting
the vehicle again.
If the vehicle does not start and the remote
key appears to be undamaged, try another
remote key. Or, place the remote key in the
cupholder backup location. See
Remote
Keyless Entry (RKE) System Operation 07.
