26 Keys, Doors, and Windows
To avoid setting off the alarm
by accident:
.Lock the vehicle after all
occupants have left the
vehicle and all doors are
closed.
.Always unlock a door with
the remote key or use the
Keyless Access system.
Unlatching the driver door
with the mechanical key will
not disarm the system or turn
off the alarm.
How to Detect a Tamper
Condition
IfKis pressed on the remote
key and the horn chirps and
the lights flash three times, a
previous alarm occurred while
the system was armed.
If the alarm has been
activated, a message will
appear on the DIC.
Power Sounder,
Inclination Sensor, and
Intrusion Sensor
In addition to the standard
theft-deterrent system
features, this system may also
have a power sounder,
inclination sensor, and
intrusion sensor.
The power sounder provides
an audible alarm which is
distinct from the vehicle’s
horn. It has its own power
source, and can sound an
alarm if the vehicle’s battery is
compromised.
The inclination sensor can set
off the alarm if it senses
movement of the vehicle, such
as when a tire is removed.
Make sure the vehicle's alarm
is not armed prior to any
jacking. 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 all doors and
windows are completely
closed.
.Secure any loose items such
as sun glasses.
.Make sure there are no
obstructions blocking the
sensors in the front
overhead console.

Battery Load
Management
The vehicle has Electric Power
Management (EPM), which
estimates the battery's
temperature and state of
charge. It then adjusts the
voltage for best performance
and extended life of the
battery.
When the battery's state of
charge is low, the voltage is
raised slightly to quickly bring
the charge back up. When thestate of charge is high, the
voltage is lowered slightly to
prevent overcharging. If the
vehicle has a voltmeter gauge
or a voltage display on the
Driver Information Center
(DIC), you may see the voltage
move up or down. This is
normal. If there is a problem,
an alert will be displayed.
The battery can be discharged
at idle if the electrical loads
are very high. This is true for
all vehicles. This is because
the generator (alternator) may
not be spinning fast enough at
idle to produce all the power
that is needed for very high
electrical loads.
A high electrical load occurs
when several of the following
are on, such as: headlamps,
high beams, fog lamps, rear
window defogger, climate
control fan at high speed,
heated seats, engine cooling
fans, and loads plugged into
accessory power outlets.
EPM works to prevent
excessive discharge of the
battery. It does this by
balancing the generator's
output and the vehicle's
electrical needs. It can
increase engine idle speed to
generate more power,
whenever needed. It can
temporarily reduce the power
demands of some accessories.
Normally, these actions occur
in steps or levels, without
being noticeable. In rare cases
at the highest levels of
corrective action, this action
may be noticeable to the
driver. If so, a DIC message
might be displayed. If a battery
message is displayed, it is
recommended that the driver
reduce the electrical loads as
much as possible. See Driver
Information Center (DIC) (Base
Level)
0129 or
Driver Information Center
(DIC) (Uplevel) 0132.
