PERIMETER ALARM SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)
The perimeter anti-theft system will help prevent your vehicle from
unauthorized entry.
If there is any potential perimeter anti-theft problem with your vehicle,
ensureALL remote entry transmittersare taken to the dealership to
aid in troubleshooting.
Your perimeter alarm system may include an interior motion detection
system (intrusion sensing). The interior motion detection system detects
an unauthorized vehicle entry by sensing movement within the vehicle.
The interior motion detection system will operate only when the
vehicle is locked using the remote keyless entry (keypad or
remote transmitters). If you lock the vehicle using the key in the
driver’s door key cylinder, the perimeter alarm will arm, but the
interior motion detection system will not arm.
Do not arm the interior motion detection system if movement within the
vehicle is likely to occur (i.e. a pet is left inside the vehicle).
For proper operation of the interior motion detection system, close all
windows and moonroof prior to arming the system. This will prevent
accidental alarm activation caused by external influences and ensure
proper interior motion detection.
Arming the system
When armed, the perimeter alarm will notify you of an unauthorized
entry. When unauthorized entry occurs, the system will flash the park
lamps and will sound the horn.
The system is ready to arm whenever the key is out of the ignition. Any
of the following actions will arm the alarm system:
•Press the remote transmitter lock control one time to arm the system.
•Lock all doors using the keypad.
•Lock all doors using the interior power lock switch while the driver or
passenger door is open and then closed.
•Lock all doors with the key in the key lock cylinder (this willnotarm
the interior motion detection system, if equipped).
The park lamps will flash once and the horn will chirp once if all the
closures are closed.
If any closure is not properly closed, the park lamps will not flash and
the horn will chirp twice.
The system will wait 20 seconds after one of the actions is performed
before allowing an alarm to go off. After the 20–second pre-arm phase,

Starting the engine
1. Turn the key to 4 (ON) without
turning the key to 5 (START). If
there is difficulty in turning the key,
rotate the steering wheel until the
key turns freely.
2. Turn the key to 5 (START), then
release the key as soon as the
engine starts. Excessive cranking
could damage the starter.
Note:If the engine does not start within five seconds on the first try,
turn the key to 3 (OFF), wait 10 seconds and try again.
Using the engine block heater (if equipped)
Use of an engine block heater is strongly recommended if you live in a
region where temperatures reach -23°C (-10°F) or below. For best
results, plug the heater in at least three hours before starting the vehicle.
The heater can be plugged in the night before starting the vehicle.
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, do not use your heater
with ungrounded electrical systems or two-pronged (cheater)
adapters.
Guarding against exhaust fumes
Carbon monoxide is present in exhaust fumes. Take precautions to avoid
its dangerous effects.
If you smell exhaust fumes inside your vehicle, have your dealer
inspect your vehicle immediately. Do not drive if you smell
exhaust fumes.
Important ventilating information
If the engine is idling while the vehicle is stopped for a long period of
time, open the windows at least 2.5 cm (one inch) or adjust the heating
or air conditioning to bring in fresh air.

To help avoid personal injury, always use caution when in R
(Reverse) and when using the extended rear park aid.
This system is not designed to prevent contact with small or
moving objects. The system is designed to provide a warning to
assist the driver in detecting objects to avoid damaging the vehicle.
The system may not detect smaller objects, particularly those close to
the ground.
The system will assist the driver in detecting certain objects while the
vehicle slowly moves in reverse at speeds less than 10 km/h (6 mph).
The system is not effective at speeds greater than 10 km/h (6 mph) and
may not detect certain angular or moving objects.
The system detects obstacles within approximately five meters (16.4 ft.)
behind the rear bumper with a decreased coverage area at the outer
corners of the bumper. In the figure, the smaller objects behind the
vehicle represent the near-vehicle and bumper corner coverage area of
the park aid system and the large object represents the extended
coverage area. As you move closer to the obstacle, the rate of the tone
increases. When the distance to the obstacle is less than 45.0 cm
(18 in.), the tone will sound continuously. If the system detects an object
that is approaching the vehicle at such as rate that rapid braking is
required, a very high rate tone will sound. If this tone is heard while
reversing, the driver is advised to slow down immediately until the tone
either changes to a slower rate or stops.
In addition to the tones, a visual
display is located next to the high
mount stop lamp by the back
window and will also indicate the
distance to a potential obstacle.
