The indicator light may come on
momentarily, or a message may display on
the instrument cluster, indicating that these
sensors have been disabled until the next
time the system is armed.
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 Centre (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 unlock after the brake
pedal is depressed 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 engaged, 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
disengage 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 from side to side for about
15 seconds. In some cases, significant
force may be needed to disengage the
column.
To prevent the steering column lock from
engaging, straighten the front wheels before
turning off the vehicle.
