▼Theft-Deterrent System
If the theft-deterrent system detects an
inappropriate entry into the vehicle,
which could result in the vehicle or its
contents being stolen, the alarm alerts
the surrounding area of an abnormality
by sounding the horn and flashing the
hazard warning lights.

The system will not function unless it's
properly armed. So when you leave the
vehicle, follow the arming procedure
correctly.
▼Operation
System triggering conditions
The horn sounds intermittently and the

door-lock knob.
Forcing open a door, the hood or the
liftgate.
Opening the hood by operating the
hood release handle.
Switching the ignition ON without
using the push button start.
If the system is triggered again, the
lights and horn will activate until the
driver's door or the liftgate is unlocked
with the transmitter.
(With the advanced keyless function)
The lights and horn can also be
deactivated by touching the sensing
area of the door release touch sensor.
NOTE
If the battery goes dead while the
theft-deterrent system is armed, the
horn will activate and the hazard
warning lights will flash when the
battery is charged or replaced.
▼ How to Arm the System
1. Close the windows and the

i-ACTIVSENSE*
▼i-ACTIVSENSE
i-ACTIVSENSE is a collective term
covering a series of advanced safety
and driver support systems which
make use of cameras and sensors. The
systems consist of active safety and
pre-crash safety systems.
These systems are designed to assist
the driver in safer driving by reducing
the load on the driver and helping to
avert collisions or reduce their severity.
However, because each system has its
limitations, always drive carefully and
do not rely solely on the systems.
▼Active Safety Technology
Active Safety Technology supports safer
driving by helping the driver to
recognize potential hazards and avert
accidents.
