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
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.
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 a sunshades.
•
Ma
ke sure there are no obstructions
blocking the sensors in the front
overhead console.
•
Close DVD screens before leaving
the vehicle.
Intrusion and Inclination Sensors
Disable Switch
It is recommended that the intrusion and
inclination sensors be deactivated if pets

With the vehicle off, press o in the front
overhead console to turn off the feature.
The indicator light will come on momentarily,
in
dicating that these sensors have been
disabled until the next time the alarm system

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
unlock after the brake pedal is pressed
and the vehicle is started. No message will
display during aremote start.
