ENGINE IMMOBILIZER
Engine Immobilizer Operation
The Engine Immobilizer system prevents unau-
thorized use of the vehicle by disabling engine
starting.
The system does not need to be enabled or
activated. Operation of the immobilizer is auto-
matic whether the vehicle's doors are locked
or unlocked.
When the ignition is placed in the ACC posi-
tion, the Engine Immobilizer system identifies
the code transmitted by the key. If the code is
recognized as valid, the Engine Immobilizer
system enables engine starting.
When the ignition is brought back to OFF, the
Engine Immobilizer system deactivates the
control unit controlling the engine, disabling
engine starting.
For the correct engine starting procedures,
refer to “Starting The Engine” in “Starting And
Operating.”
Irregular Operation
If the key code is not recognized during starting, the
Engine Immobilizer Failure/Break-in Attempt
icon is displayed on the instrument panel. Refer to
"Warning Lights And Messages" in "Getting To Know
Your Instrument Panel". This condition leads to the
engine turning off after two seconds. In this case,
cycle the ignition to the OFF position, and then to
ACC; if it is still blocked, try with the other keys
provided. If it is still not possible to start the engine,
contact an authorized dealer.
If the Engine Immobilizer Failure/Break-in
Attempt icon is displayed while driving, this
means that the system is running a self-diag-
nosis (e.g. due to a voltage drop). If the display
persists, contact an authorized dealer.
NOTE:
Do not tamper with the Engine Immobilizer
system. Any modifications or alterations
could cause the protection function to be
deactivated.
The Engine Immobilizer system is not compat-
ible with certain aftermarket remote starting
systems. The use of these devices could
cause problems when starting, as well as the
deactivation of the protection function.
All keys provided with the vehicle have been
programmed in accordance with the elec-
tronics on the vehicle itself.
Each key has its own code which must be
stored by the system's control unit. Contact
an authorized dealer to have new keys (up
to eight) stored with a code.
SECURITY ALARM SYSTEM — IF
EQUIPPED
Alarm Activation
While armed, the alarm will sound in the
following scenarios:
Opening of doors/hood/trunk lid (perimeter
protection)
Operation of ignition with a key which is not
validated
Cutting of the battery cables
Movement inside the passenger compart-
ment (volumetric protection — if equipped)
Unexpected lifting/tilting of the vehicle
(anti-lift protection — if equipped)
Activation of the alarm triggers the acoustic
warning and the turn signals.
NOTE:
The alarm system is activated by the Engine
Immobilizer system, which is automatically
activated when you get out of the vehicle with
the key fob and lock the doors.
