PASSIVE ANTI-THEFT

SYSTEM

Principle of Operation

Category one alarm with interior

sensors and battery back-up sounder.

The system prevents someone from

starting the engine with an incorrectly

coded key.

Perimeter Alarm

The perimeter alarm is a deterrent against

unauthorized access to your vehicle

through the doors and the hood. It also

protects the audio unit.

Coded Keys

If you lose a key, you can obtain a

replacement from an authorized dealer. If

possible, provide them with the key

number from the tag provided with the

original keys. You can also obtain extra

keys from an authorized dealer.

Interior Sensors

Note: Have all of your remaining keys

erased and recoded if you lose a key. Have

replacement keys coded together with

recoding your remaining keys. See an

authorized dealer for further information.

Note: Do not shield your keys with metal

objects. This may prevent the receiver from

recognizing a coded key.

immobilizer will arm automatically after a
