Anti-theft indicator

The anti-theft indicator is located on top of the instrument panel.
• 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 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 2
(ACCESSORY) position.

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

Automatic disarming

Switching the ignition to the 3 (ON) position with a coded key disarms
the vehicle.
• The theft indicator will illuminate for three seconds and then go out.
• If the theft indicator stays on for an extended period of time or

flashes rapidly, have the system serviced by your authorized dealer.

Replacement keys

If your keys are lost or stolen and you don’t have an extra coded key,
you will need to have your vehicle towed to an authorized dealer. The
key codes need to be erased from your vehicle and new coded keys will
need to be programmed.

Replacing coded keys can be very costly. Store an extra programmed key
away from the vehicle in a safe place to help prevent any
inconveniences. Please visit an authorized dealer to purchase additional
spare or replacement keys.
