WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2017 Chevrolet Spark. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The vehicle theft deterrent subsystem provides the capability to lock or unlock the steering electrically. The steering column lock module is allowed to unlock when power mode transitions to a non off power mode and an authenticated driver identification device is present. Once the column is unlocked, a crank request can be allowed.
