2. In front of the vehicle, pull up on the
auxiliary catch lever and lift the hood.3. Hold the hood open by inserting the
support rod into the slot.
Before closing the hood, check to see that
you have not forgotten any tools, rags,

hood and make sure it locks into place. If
necessary, press down ge ntly on the front
edge to lock it.

the hood securely.
To deter the vehicle theft, the system is
designed to give an alarm and keep the
engine from being started if any of the
doors, trunk or hood is forcibly un-
locked or the battery terminal is discon-
nected and then reconnected when the
vehicle is locked.
The alarm blows the horn intermittently
and flashes the headlights, tail lights, andother exterior lights. The engine cannot
be started because the starter circuit will be cut.
