Resynchronization
Your remote keyless entry system is equipped with a
security system that prevents anyone from recording and
playing back your signal. The transmitter does not
send the same signal twice to the receiver. The receiver
will not respond to a signal that has been sent to it
more than once.
Normally, the transmitter and receiver resynchronize
automatically. However, under certain circumstances,
manual resynchronization may be required.
To resynchronize your transmitter and receiver, follow
these directions:
1. Stand close to your vehicle.
2. Press and hold the LOCK and UNLOCK buttons on
the transmitter at the same time.
3. Hold the buttons for at least 10 seconds. During this
time, the doors should lock and unlock once. This
con®rms the resynchronization. If the doors do
not lock and unlock, see your dealer for service.
Doors and Locks
Door Locks
{CAUTION:
Unlocked doors can be dangerous.
·Passengers Ð especially children Ð can
easily open the doors and fall out of a
moving vehicle. When a door is locked, the
handle won't open it. You increase the
chance of being thrown out of the vehicle
in a crash if the doors aren't locked. So,
wear safety belts properly and lock the
doors whenever you drive.
·Young children who get into unlocked
vehicles may be unable to get out. A child
can be overcome by extreme heat and can
suffer permanent injuries or even death
from heat stroke. Always lock your vehicle
whenever you leave it.
·Outsiders can easily enter through an
unlocked door when you slow down or
stop your vehicle. Locking your doors can
help prevent this from happening.

How to Turn Off the System Alarm
If the system alarm is active, it can be deactivated by:
·Pressing the transmitter LOCK or panic button to
turn off the alarm. The system will also re-arm if
all doors and trunk are later closed, or
·pressing the transmitter UNLOCK or trunk button to
turn off the alarm and disarm the system, or
·putting the key in the ignition and turning it to
START to turn off the alarm and disarm the system.
How to Detect a Tamper Condition
If you hear three horn chirps when you press the
UNLOCK, LOCK or trunk buttons on your transmitter,
that means the content theft security system alarm was
triggered while you were away.
Your dealer can change the settings to disable the
headlamp ¯ash and horn chirp features. Your dealer can
also change the settings to allow the horn to chirp
twice on the ®rst press of the UNLOCK button. See your
dealer for more information.
Passlockž
Your vehicle is equipped with the
Passlockžtheft-deterrent system.
Passlock
žis a passive theft-deterrent system.
Passlockženables fuel if the ignition lock cylinder is
turned with a valid key. If a correct key is not used or the
ignition lock cylinder is tampered with, fuel is disabled.
During normal operation, the THEFT SYSTEM light
will go off approximately ®ve seconds after the key is
turned to the RUN ignition position following an
engine start.
If the engine stalls and the THEFT SYSTEM light
¯ashes, wait until the light stops ¯ashing before trying to
restart the engine. Remember to release the key from
START as soon as the engine starts.
If the engine is running and the THEFT SYSTEM light
comes on, you will be able to restart the engine if
you turn the engine off. However, your
Passlock
žsystem is not working properly and must be
serviced by your dealer. Your vehicle is not protected
by Passlock
žat this time. You may also want to check
the fuses, seeFuses and Circuit Breakers on
page 5-81. See your dealer for service. Also, seeRoadside Assistance Program on page 7-6for more
information.

Audio System(s)
Notice:Before you add any sound equipment to
your vehicle ± like a tape player, CB radio, mobile
telephone or two-way radio ± be sure you can
add what you want. If you can, it's very important to
do it properly. Added sound equipment may
interfere with the operation of your vehicle's engine,
radio or other systems, and even damage them.
Your vehicle's systems may interfere with the
operation of sound equipment that has been added
improperly.
So, before adding sound equipment, check with
your dealer and be sure to check federal rules
covering mobile radio and telephone units.
Your audio system has been designed to operate easily
and to give years of listening pleasure. You will get
the most enjoyment out of it if you acquaint yourself with
it ®rst. Figure out which radio you have in your vehicle,
®nd out what your audio system can do and how to
operate all of its controls to be sure you're getting the
most out of the advanced engineering that went into it.
Your vehicle has a feature called Retained Accessory
Power (RAP). With RAP, you can play your audio
system even after the ignition is turned off. See

Using a MP3 Disc
MP3 Format
This MP3 player will accept MP3 ®les that were recorded
on an up to 700 MB CD-R disc. The ®les can be
recorded with the following ®xed bit rates: 32 kbps,
40 kpbs, 56 kpbs, 64 kpbs, 80 kpbs, 96 kpbs, 112 kpbs,
128 kpbs, 160 kpbs, 192 kpbs, 224 kpbs,
256 kpbs and 320 kpbs or a variable bit rate. Song title,
artist name and album will be available when recorded
using ID3 tags versions 1 and 2.
The player will be able to read and play a maximum of
50 folders, 50 playlists, 10 sessions and 255 ®les.
Long ®le, folder or playlist names or a combination of a
large number of ®les and folders or playlists may
cause the player to be unable to play up to the
maximum number of ®les, folders, playlists or sessions.
If you wish to play large numbers of ®les, folders,
playlists or sessions minimize the length of the ®le,
folder or playlist names. You can also play a MP3 disc
that was recorded using no ®le folders. The system
can support up to 11 folders in depth, though, keep the
depth of the folders to a minimum in order to keep
down the complexity and confusion in trying to locate a
particular folder during playback. If a disc contains
more than the maximum of 50 folders, 50 playlists,
10 sessions and 255 ®les the player will let you access
and navigate up to the maximum, but all items over
the maximum will be ignored.
Root Directory
The root directory will be treated as a folder. If the root
directory has compressed audio ®les, the directory
will be displayed as F1 ROOT. All ®les contained directly
under the root directory will be accessed prior to any
root directory folders. However, playlists (Px) will always
be accessed before root folders or ®les.
Empty Directory or Folder
If a root directory or a folder exists somewhere in the
®le structure that contains only folders/subfolders and no
compressed ®les directly beneath them, the player will
advance to the next folder in the ®le structure that
contains compressed audio ®les and the empty folder
will not be displayed or numbered.
No Folder
When the disc contains only compressed ®les, the ®les
will be located under the root folder. The next and
previous folder functions will have no function on a disc
that was recorded without folders or playlists. When
displaying the name of the folder the radio will display
ROOT.
When the disc contains only playlists and compressed
audio ®les, but no folders, all ®les will be located
under the root folder. The folder down and the folder up
buttons will search playlists (Px) ®rst and then go to
the root folder. When the radio displays the name of the
folder the radio will display ROOT.
