ANTI-THEFT ALARM

Alarm System

The perimeter alarm is a deterrent against
unauthorized access to your vehicle
through the doors, luggage compartment
and the hood.

Triggering the Alarm

Once armed, the alarm is triggered in any
of the following ways:

•

If someone opens a door, cargo area
or the hood without a valid key or
remote control.

•

If you switch the ignition on without a
valid key.

If the alarm is triggered, the horn will sound
for 30 seconds and the hazard warning
flasher will flash for five minutes.

Any further attempts to perform one of the
above will trigger the alarm again.

Arming the Alarm

To arm the alarm, lock your vehicle. See
Doors and Locks (page 65).

Disarming the Alarm

Disarm and silence the alarm by unlocking
the doors with the key and switching the
ignition on with a correctly coded key
within 12 seconds, or by unlocking the
doors or the cargo area with the remote
control.

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.

Switch 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 power 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 power 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 power 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.

Note: If you drive off when the power
running boards are deployed the engine may
stop.

Note: In the event of a malfunction you can
stow the power running boards manually.
