Default Security Lock-down

I have a 2016 2lt with enhanced security package. I tried to open driver's door and the touch pad didn't work. No sound. Same with the touch pad for the hatchback. I thought perhaps a dead battery; although unlikely. I manually opened the hatch and then pulled the wire to open driver door. Once inside I hit START and car started right up. Message board in center of dash stated "theft attempted". What conditions cause this passive security procedure to activate? Thx

This sounds more like a dead transmitter battery. The 'theft attempted' was likely you using the key to open the car.

Most-likely scenario.
