Note: Large metallic objects, electronic devices that are used to
purchase gasoline or similar items, or a second coded key on the same
key chain may cause vehicle starting issues. You need to prevent these
objects from touching the coded key while starting the engine. These
objects will not cause damage to the coded key, but may cause a
momentary issue if they are too close to the key when starting the
engine. If a problem occurs, turn the ignition off, remove all objects on
the key chain away from the coded key and restart the engine.

Anti-theft indicator

The anti-theft indicator is located in
the instrument cluster.

• When the ignition is in the 1 (OFF/LOCK) position, the indicator will

flash once every 2 seconds to indicate the SecuriLock™ system is
functioning as a theft deterrent.

• When the ignition is in the 3 (ON) position, the indicator will glow for

3 seconds, then turn off to indicate normal system functionality.

If a problem occurs with the SecuriLock™ system, the indicator will flash
rapidly or glow steadily when the ignition is in the 3 (ON) position. If this
occurs, the vehicle should be taken to an authorized dealer for service.

Automatic arming

The vehicle is armed immediately
after switching the ignition to the 1
(OFF/LOCK) position.

The theft indicator will flash every
two seconds when the vehicle is
armed.
