Inclination Sensor and Intrusion Sensor
In addition to the standard theft-deterrent
system features, this system may also have
a inclination sensor and intrusion sensor.
The inclination sensor can set off 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.
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 a
sunshades.
.
Make sure there are no obstructions
blocking the sensors in the front overhead
console.
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 vehicle is on, but
the steering column is still locked. It is
normal for the column to be locked
during a remote start, but the column
should unlock after 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, 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 turn the steering
wheel side to side for about 15 seconds.
In some cases, it may take significant
force to unbind the column.
To keep the steering column from binding,
straighten the front wheels before turning
off the vehicle.
