ANTI-THEFT ALARM

(If Equipped)

The active anti-theft system is designed
to warn you in the event of unauthorized
vehicle entry and is also designed to help
prevent unwanted towing of your vehicle.
You can choose what is monitored by
arming the system in different ways. See
Information Displays (page 111).

The direction indicators flash and the horn
sounds if the system triggers while the
alarm is armed.

Take all remote controls to an authorized
dealer if there is any potential alarm
problem with your vehicle.

Reduced Guard

(If Equipped)

To monitor the following:
•

Doors.

•

Hood.

•

Tailgate.

Lock your vehicle using the key in the driver
door lock cylinder.

Full Guard

(If Equipped)

To monitor the following:
•

Doors.

•

Hood.

•

Tailgate.

•

Movement inside your vehicle.

•

Change in vehicle inclination, for
example, unwanted towing.

Lock your vehicle using the remote control
or the power door lock control with the
accompanying door open and then close
all doors.

Note: Do not choose full monitor mode if
movement within the vehicle is likely to
occur or when the vehicle is in transport.

Note: For correct operation of the interior
motion detection system, make sure all
windows are closed prior to arming the
system. This helps prevent accidental alarm
activation due to external influences and
make sure of correct interior motion
detection. Additionally, the interior motion
sensing system will not arm if any door is
ajar.

Arming the Alarm

The alarm is ready to arm when there is
not a key in the ignition. Lock your vehicle
to arm the alarm.

The direction indicators flash once after
you lock your vehicle. This indicates the
alarm is in the pre-armed mode. It fully
arms after 20 seconds.

Disarming the Alarm

Disarm the alarm by any of the following
actions:
•

Press the power door unlock button
within the 20-second pre-armed mode.

•

Unlock the doors with the remote
control or keyless entry keypad.

•

Switch the ignition on or start your
vehicle.

•

Use a key in the driver door lock
cylinder to unlock your vehicle, then
switch the ignition on within 12
seconds.

Note: Pressing the panic button on the
remote control stops the horn and direction
indicators, but will not disarm the system.

USING POWER RUNNING
BOARDS

WARNINGS

In extreme climates, excessive ice
buildup may occur, causing the
running boards not to deploy. Make

sure that the running boards have
deployed, and have finished moving before
attempting to step on them. The running
boards will resume normal function once
the blockage is cleared.

Turn off the running boards before
jacking or placing any object under
your vehicle. Never place your hand

between the extended running board and
your vehicle. A moving running board may
cause injury.

Note: Do not use the running boards, front
and rear hinge assemblies, running board
motors, or the running board underbody
mounts to lift your vehicle when jacking.
Always use proper jacking points.

Note: The running boards may operate
more slowly in cool temperatures.

Note: The running board mechanism may
trap debris such as mud, dirt, snow, ice and
salt. This may cause unwanted noise. If this
happens, manually set the running boards
to the deployed position. Then, wash the
system, in particular the front and rear hinge
arms, with a high-pressure car wash wand.

Automatic Power Deploy

E166682

The running boards automatically extend
down and out when you open the door.
This can help you enter and exit your
vehicle.

Automatic Power Stow

When you close the doors, the running
boards return to the stowed position after
a two-second delay.

Manual Power Deploy

You can manually operate the running
boards in the information display. See
General Information (page 111).

Set the running boards in the deployed
position to access the roof.

The running boards return to the stowed
position and enter automatic mode when
the vehicle speed exceeds 3 mph (5 km/h).

Enabling and Disabling

You can enable and disable the power
running board feature in the information
display. See General Information (page
111).

(If Equipped)

•

When disabled (OFF), the running
boards move to the stowed position
regardless of the door position.

•

When enabled (AUTO), the running
boards move back to the correct
positions based on the door position.

Bounce-back

The running board will reverse direction
and move to the end of travel if it
encounters an object while moving.
