Universal Theft
Deterrent
(omoN) (CONI)
To Stop the Alarm:
If you set off the alarm by accident,
unlock any door with your key.
You can
also
turn off the alarm by pressing the
“UNLOCK” button on the Keyless Entry
System transmitter. The alarm won’t stop
if you try to unlock a door any other way.
How to Test the Alarm:
Roll your window down, then follow the
directions under
“To Arm the System”
earlier. Once the alarm is set, reach
through the window and manually unlock
the door from the inside or
turn on the
ignition. The alarm should sound.
If the alarm does not sound when it
should, check to see
if the horn works.
The horn fuse may be blown. To replace
the fuse, see “Fuses
& Circuit Breakers”
in the Index.
To reduce the possibility
of theft, always
arm the theft deterrent system
when
leaving your vehicle.
H Illuminated Entry
System

When you lift the lever of either front
door, a light will glow around the door
lock. This will help you insert the door
key at night.
The lights inside your vehicle will also
go
on. These lights will go off after about 20
seconds, or when you start your engine.
These lights will also
go on when you
press any button on the optional Remote
Keyless Entry transmitter.
If a door is left ajar, your interior lights
will turn
off after ten minutes to save your
battery.

Press the trunk release button located
below the driver’s door armrest to release
the trunk lid. The ignition may be on or
off and the transaxle
must be in “P”

Convenience Net
(OPTION)
Your vehicle may have a convenience net.
You’ll see
it just inside the back wall of
the trunk.
Put small loads, like grocery bags, behind
the net.
It can help keep them from falling
over during sharp turns or quick starts and
stops.
The net isn’t for larger, heavier loads.
Store them
in the trunk as far forward as
you can.
You can unhook the net
so that it will lie
flat when you’re not using
it.
