Arming the system
When unauthorized entry occurs, the system will flash headlamp lamps,
tail lamps and the security indicator lamp, chirp the horn and disable the
starting system.
The system is ready to arm whenever the key is removed from the
ignition. Any of the following actions will prearm the alarm system:
•Lock the doors with the remote
transmitter (doors opened or
closed). The horn will chirp (if all
doors are closed) to confirm that
the control was pressed. The
horn chirp feature can be turned
on/off by holding the LOCK and
UNLOCK controls on the
transmitter simultaneously for
two seconds. The hazard lights
will flash three times each time
the system is toggled between active and non-active modes.
•Open a door and press the power door lock control to lock the doors.
If a door is open, the system is
prearmed and is waiting for the door
to close. Once all the doors are
closed, the security indicator lamp
on the instrument panel will
illuminate continuously when the
system is prearmed.
The system will arm in 30 seconds
and the security indicator lamp will
begin to flash.

SEATING
Adjustable head restraints (if equipped)
Your vehicle’s seats may be equipped with head restraints which are
vertically adjustable. The purpose of these head restraints is to help limit
head motion in the event of a rear collision. To properly adjust your head
restraints, lift the head restraint so that it is located directly behind your
head or as close to that position as possible. Refer to the following to
raise and lower the head restraints.
The head restraints can be moved
up and down.
Push side control and push down on
head restraint to lower it.
Adjusting the front manual seat
Never adjust the driver’s seat or seatback when the vehicle is
moving.
Do not pile cargo higher than the seatbacks to reduce the risk of
injuring people in a collision or sudden stop.
Seating and Safety Restraints
