2-17 Testing the Alarm
1. From inside the vehicle, roll down the window.
2. 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.
3. Get out of the vehicle, close the door and wait for the
SECURITY light to go out.
4. 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, check to
see if the horn works. The horn fuse may be blown.
To replace the fuse, see ªFuses and Circuit Breakersº
in the Index.
If the alarm does not sound, or the exterior lamps do not
flash, see your dealer.

Ventilation Tips
Keep the hood and front air inlet free of ice, snow or
any other obstruction such as leaves. The heater and
defroster will work better, reducing the chance of
fogging your windows.
In cool damp weather, minimize your use of
RECIRC to reduce the chance of fogging
your windows.
When you enter a vehicle with the standard system
in cold weather, select FLOOR mode to supply air
through the floor outlets. Then turn the fan on high
for a few moments before driving away. This will
blow moist air from the intake outlets toward the
floor, not the windshield. It reduces the chance of
fogging your windows. If you have the electronic
system, the AUTO setting will do this for you.
Manual operation of the electronic system in the
FLOOR mode will also supply air through the
floor outlets.
Keep the air path under the front seats clear of
objects. This helps air to circulate throughout
your vehicle.Audio Systems

and give years of listening pleasure. You will get the
most enjoyment out of it if you acquaint yourself with it

to operate all its controls, to be sure you're getting the
most out of the advanced engineering that went into it.
