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.
.Close DVD screens before
leaving the vehicle.
Inclination and Intrusion
Sensor Disable Switch
It is recommended that the
intrusion and inclination
sensor be deactivated if pets
are left in the vehicle or the
vehicle is being transported.
With the vehicle turned off,
press
oin the front
overhead console. The
indicator light will come on
momentarily, indicating that
these sensors have been
disabled for the next alarm
system arming cycle.

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 unlockafter 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.

from binding, straighten the
front wheels before turning
off the vehicle.Immobilizer

the outboard seating
positions.

performance seats, the
vehicle’s front seats have
