Remember, the theft-deterrent system won‘t activate if
you lock the doors with a key or use the manual door
lock. It activates only if
you use a power door lock
switch with the door open, or with the remote keyless
entry transmitter. You should
also remember that you
can start your vehicle with the correct ignition key
if’ the
alarm has been set
off.
Here’s how to avoid setting off the alarm by accident:
If you don’t want to activate the theft-deterrent
system, the vehicle should be locked
with the door
key
after the doors are closed.
Always unlock a door with a key, or use the remote
keyless entry transmitter. Unlocking
a door any other
way will set off the alarm.
If you set off the alarm by accident, unlock any door
with the key. You can
also turn off the alarm by pressing
UNLOCK on the remote keyless entry transmitter.
The alarm won’t stop if you try to unlock a door any
other way.
Testing the Alarm
The alarm can be tested by following these steps:
I. From inside the vehicle, lower the driver‘s window
and open the driver’s door.
3.
4.
Activate the system by locking the doors with the
power door
lock switch while the door is open, or
with the remote keyless entry transmitter.
Get out
of the vehicle, close the door and wait for the
SECURITY light to
go out.
Then reach
in through the window, unlock the door
with the manual door lock and open the door. This
should set
off the alarm.
If the alarm does not sound when it should but the
vehicle’s high-beam headlamps flash, check
to see if the
horn works. The horn fuse may be blown.
To replace the
f~~se, see “Fuses and Circuit Breakers”
in the Index.
If the alarm does not sound or the vehicle’s high-beam
headlamps do not flash, the vehicle should be serviced
by
an authorized service center.
Passlock’
Your vehicle is equipped with the Passlock
theft-deterrent system.
Passlock is
a passive theft-deterrent system. The system
is armed once the key is removed from the ignition.
Passlock enables fuel
if the ignition lock cylinder is
turned with a valid key. If a correct key is not used, fuel
is disabled.

wait about
10 minutes until the light stops flashing
before trying to restart the engine. Remember to release
the key from the
START position as soon as the
engine starts.
If the engine does not start after three (3) tries, the
vehicle needs service.

you will be able to restart the engine if you turn the
engine
off. However, your Passlock system is not
working properly and
must be serviced by your dealer.
Your vehicle is not protected by Passlock at this time.
You may also want to check the fuse (see ”FLIS~S and
Circuit Breakers”
in the Index). See your dealer
for service.
If the SECURITY light comes on while the engine is
running.
a problem has been detected and the system
may need service. See your dealer for service.

New Vehicle “Break-In”
NOTICE:
~~~ ~ ~
Your vehicle doesn’t need an elaborate
“break-in.” But it will perform better in the long
run if you follow these guidelines:
0
0
0
0
Keep your speed at 55 mph (88 kmh) or
less for the first
500 miles (805 km).
Don’t drive at any one speed
-- fast or
slow -- for the first 500 miles (805 km).
Don’t make full-throttle starts.
Avoid making hard stops for the first
200
miles (322 km) or so. During this time your
new brake linings aren’t yet broken in.
Hard stops with new linings can mean
premature wear and earlier replacement.
Follow this breaking-in guideline every
time you get new brake linings.
Don’t tow a trailer during break-in.
See “Towing a Trailer” in the Index for
more information.

To Use the Engine Coolant Heater
1. Turn off the engine.
2. Open the hood and unwrap the electrical cord. The
cord is located on the driver’s side of the engine
compartment, behind the underhood fuse block.
3. Plug it into a normal, grounded 110-volt AC outlet.
% CAUTION:
Plugging the cord into an ungrounded outlet
could cause an electrical shock. Also, the wrong
kind
of extension cord could overheat and cause
a fire. You could be seriously injured. Plug the
cord into
a properly grounded three-prong
110-volt
AC outlet. If the cord won’t reach, use a
heavy-duty three-prong extension cord rated for
at least
15 amps.
4. Before starting the engine, be sure to unplug and
store the cord as it was before to keep it away from
moving engine parts. If you don’t, it could
be damaged.
How long should you keep the coolant heater plugged
in? The answer depends on the outside temperature, the
kind
of oil you have, and some other things. Instead of
trying to list everything here, we ask that you contact
your dealer in the area where you’ll be parking your
vehicle. The dealer can give you the best advice for that
particular area.

is burned out. Check the front and rear turn signal lamps
regularly
to make sure they are working. If
a bulb is burned out, replace it to help avoid an
accident. If the
arrows don’t go on at all when you
signal a turn, check the fuse (see “Fuses and Circuit
Breakers”
in the Index) and for burned-out bulbs.

explode, and
you or others could be injured. Be
sure to read the inflator instructions, and inflate
any object only to its recommended pressure.

the
hose to the object you wish
to inflate. Remove
the
protective cap covering the
outlet. Attach
the other end
of
the hose to the outlet.

be blown
or installed incorrectly. See “Fuses and Circuit
Breakers”
in the Index or see your dealer for service.
Your air inflator will automatically shut off after about
10 minutes. To reset, press the ON switch again.

other is located in
the rear of the vehicle in the air
inflator compartment. Follow the proper installation
instructions that are included with any electrical
equipment you install.
These circuits are protected by
a fuse and have
maximum current levels.

Cargo on the load floor piled higher than
the seatbacks can be thrown forward
during a sudden stop.
You or your
passengers could be injured. Keep cargo
below the top
of the seatbacks.
Unsecured cargo on the load floor can be
tossed about when driving over rough
terrain. You or your passengers can be
struck by flying objects. Secure the
cargo properly.
Heavy loads on the roof raise the vehicle’s
center of gravity, making it more likely to
roll
over. You can be seriously or fatally
injured
if the vehicle rolls over. Put heavy
loads inside the cargo area, not on the
roof.
Keep cargo in the cargo area as far forward
and low as nossible.
You’ll find other important information in this manual.
