When your vehicle was shipped from the factory, it was
programmed in Mode 3. The mode to which the vehicle

vehicle is programmed or to program your vehicle to a

1. Press the LOCK button on the remote keyless
entry transmitter.
2. Count the number of chimes you hear. The number
of chimes tells you which mode your vehicle is set
for. (If you do not wish to change the current mode,
you can either exit the programming mode by
following the instructions later in this section or
program the next feature available on your vehicle.)
3. Press the LOCK button again on the remote keyless

Limited-Slip Rear Axle
If your vehicle has this feature, your limited-slip rear
axle can give you additional traction on snow, mud, ice,
sand or gravel. It works like a standard axle most of the
time, but when one of the rear wheels has no traction
and the other does, this feature will allow the wheel with
traction to move the vehicle.
Horn
To sound the horn, press either horn symbol on your
steering wheel.
If your horn sounds two or three chirps when
unlocking your vehicle with the remote keyless entry
transmitter (option), the alarm was triggered while you
were away. Check the vehicle before entering.
Tilt Wheel
A tilt wheel allows you to adjust the steering wheel
before you drive. The lever is located on the left side of
the steering column.
You can also raise it to the highest level to give your
legs more room when you exit and enter the vehicle.
To tilt the wheel, hold the steering wheel and pull the
lever toward you. Move the steering wheel to a
comfortable level, then release the lever to lock the
wheel in place.

instrument panel lights. Move the thumbwheel up or down
to brighten or dim the lights. If you move the thumbwheel
all the way up, your courtesy lamps will come on.

on. These lamps are courtesy lamps. They make it easier
for you to enter and leave your vehicle.
Courtesy lamps include two map lamps on the inside
rearview mirror and other lamps throughout the interior
of your vehicle.
To prevent battery rundown, your interior lamps will be
disabled about 10 minutes after the ignition is turned to
OFF. The 10
-minute timer will be restarted if you do
any of the following:
Turn the ignition on.
Open either door.
Press any button on your remote keyless entry
transmitter (option).
Turn the interior lamp switch from off to on.
