VEHICLE SECURITY SYSTEM — IF EQUIPPED
The Vehicle Security system monitors the vehicle
doors, hood, liftgate, and the Keyless Enter ‘n Go™
Ignition for unauthorized operation. While the
Vehicle Security system is armed, interior switches
for door locks and liftgate release are disabled. If
something triggers the system, the Vehicle Security
system will provide the following audible and
visible signals:
The horn will pulse
The turn signals will flash
The Vehicle Security Light in the instrument
cluster will flash
NOTE:
The Vehicle Security system is factory adjusted
to standards from different countries.
The Vehicle Security system is a complementary
security system developed to hinder the occur -
rence of vehicle theft and prevent vandalism. It
does not
prevent the theft of your vehicle; the
system is a deterrent.
The Vehicle Security system does not monitor
glass breakage or the movement of objects or
people inside the vehicle. The alarm does not
intervene in the case of vehicle tilt variations
when it is parked.
TO ARM THE SYSTEM
Follow these steps to arm the Vehicle Security
system:

1. Make sure the vehicle’s ignition is placed in the OF
F position.

2. Perform one of the following methods to lock the v
ehicle:
Push the lock button on the interior power
door lock switch with the driver and/or
passenger door open.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE 21
(Continued)
Push the lock button on the exterior Passive
Entry door handle with a valid key fob avail -
able in the same exterior zone Ú page 22.
Push the lock button on the key fob.
3. If any doors are open, close them.
TO DISARM THE SYSTEM
The Vehicle Security system can be disarmed using
any of the following methods:
Push the unlock button on the key fob.
Grab the Passive Entry door handle to unlock
the door Ú page 22.
Cycle the ignition out of the OFF position to
disarm the system.
NOTE:
The driver's door key cylinder cannot arm or
disarm the Vehicle Security system.
When the Vehicle Security system is armed, the
interior power door lock switches will not unlock
the doors.
The Vehicle Security system is designed to protect
your v e

hicle. However, you can create conditions
where the system will give you a false alarm. If one
of the previously described arming sequences has
occurred, the Vehicle Security system will arm
regardless of whether you are in the vehicle or not.
If you remain in the vehicle and open a door, the alarm will sound. If this occurs, disarm the Vehicle
Security system.
If the Vehicle Security system is armed and the
batte
r

y becomes disconnected, the Vehicle
Security system will remain armed when the
battery is reconnected; the exterior lights will flash,
and the horn will sound. If this occurs, disarm the
Vehicle Security system.
To completely disable the alarm (e.g. in the case of
long in
activity of the vehicle), lock the doors by
turning the emergency key in the exterior door lock
cylinder.
NOTE:
If the batteries in the key fob discharge in the event
of a f a
ilure to the system, place the ignition in the
ON/RUN position to turn the alarm off.

230 SAFETY
The BSM system is designed not to issue an alert
on stationary objects such as guardrails, posts,
walls, foliage, berms, etc. However, occasionally
the system may alert on such objects. This is
normal operation and your vehicle does not require
service.
The BSM system will not alert you of objects that
are t r

aveling in the opposite direction of the vehicle
in adjacent lanes Ú page 349.

Opposing Traffic

Rear Cross Path (RCP)
RCP is intended to aid the driver when backing out
of parking spaces where their vision of oncoming
vehicles may be blocked. Proceed slowly and
cautiously out of the parking space until the rear
end of the vehicle is exposed. The RCP system will
then have a clear view of the cross traffic and if an
oncoming vehicle is detected, alert the driver.
RCP Detection Zones

RCP monitors the rear detection zones on both
sides

of the vehicle, for objects that are moving
toward the side of the vehicle with a minimum
speed of approximately 1 mph (2 km/h), to objects
moving

a maximum of approximately 22 mph
(35 km /
h), such as in parking lot situations.
When RCP is on and the vehicle is in REVERSE (R),
the dr
iver is alerted using both the visual and
audible alarms, including reducing the radio
volume.
WARNING!
The Blind Spot Monitoring system is only an aid
to help detect objects in the blind spot zones.
The BSM system is not designed to detect
pedestrians, bicyclists, or animals. Even if your
vehicle is equipped with the BSM system, always
check your vehicle’s mirrors, glance over your
shoulder, and use your turn signal before
changing lanes. Failure to do so can result in
serious injury or death.
