with remote starting systems. Use of these systems
may result in vehicle starting problems and loss of
security protection.
²Mobil SpeedpassŸ, additional Sentry Keys, or any
other transponder equipped components on the same
keychain will not cause a key-related (Transponder)
fault unless the additional part isphysically held
against the ignition keybeing used when starting the
vehicle. Also, cell phones, pagers, or other RF electron-
ics will not cause interference with this system.
All of the keys provided with your new vehicle have
been programmed to the vehicle electronics.
Important Note About Service

from your authorized dealer. However, this number can
also be found on your customer invoice that you were
given upon receipt of your vehicle.

vehicle electronics can be used to start the vehicle. Once
a Sentry Key has been programmed to a vehicle, it cannot
be programmed to any other vehicle.
At the time of purchase, the original owner is provided
with a four digit PIN number. This number is required
for dealer replacement of keys. Duplication of keys may

doors. The park lights will flash twice to acknowledge
the unlock signal.NOTE:The transmitter can be programmed to unlock
all the doors upon the first press of the9Unlock9button

2. This device must accept any interference that may be
received, including interference that may cause undes-
ired operation.
If your Remote Keyless Entry fails to operate from a
normal distance, check for these two conditions:
1. Weak batteries in transmitter. The expected life of
batteries is from one to two years
2. Closeness to a radio transmitter such as a radio station
tower, airport transmitter, and some mobile or CB radios.
Transmitter Battery Service
The recommended replacement battery is the Panasonic
CR2016 or equivalent.
1. Pry the transmitter halves apart with a dime or similar
object. Make sure not to damage the rubber gasket
material during removal.2. Remove and replace the batteries. Avoid touching the
new batteries with your fingers. Skin oils may cause
battery deterioration. If you touch the battery, clean it
with rubbing alcohol.
3. Reassemble the transmitter case. Snap the halves

SECURITY ALARM SYSTEM Ð IF EQUIPPED
This system monitors the vehicle doors, swing gate,
swing gate flip-up window, and ignition for unautho-
rized operation. When the alarm is activated, the system
provides both audible and visual signals. The horn,
headlights, and tail lights will sound/flash repeatedly for
three minutes. If disturbance is still present (driver's
door, passenger door, other doors, ignition) after three
minutes, the headlights and tail lights will flash for an
additional 15 minutes.
NOTE:The ªPanicº and ªSecurityº alarms are quite
different. Please take a moment to activate the ªPanicº
and the ªSecurityº modes to hear the differences in the
horn. In case one should go off in the future, you will
need to know which mode has been activated in order to
deactivate it.
To Set the Alarm
The alarm will set when you use the remote keyless entry
transmitter to lock the doors and swing gate or when you
use the power door lock switch while the door is open.
After all the doors are locked and closed, a red light in the
instrument cluster will flash rapidly for about 16 seconds
to signal that the system is arming. During this 16 second
arming period, opening any door or the swing gate will
cancel the arming. If the system successfully arms, the
red light will flash at a slower rate to indicate the alarm
is set.
To Disarm the System
To disarm the system, use the remote keyless entry
transmitter or the key to unlock the driver's door. If
something has triggered the system in your absence, the
horn will sound three times when you unlock the doors.
Check the vehicle for tampering.
28 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE

NOTE:On vehicles equipped with Remote Keyless
Entry (RKE), there will not be a door lock cylinder on the
front passenger door, rear doors, or rear swing gate.
Therefore, you will be unable to disarm the system with
a manual unlock of the passenger or rear doors.
The Security Alarm System is designed to protect your
vehicle; however, you can create conditions where the
system will arm unexpectedly. If you remain in the
vehicle and lock the doors with the transmitter, once the
system is armed (after 16 seconds), when you pull the
door handle to exit the alarm will sound. If this occurs,
press the ªUnlockº button on the remote keyless entry
transmitter to disarm the system. You may also acciden-
tally disarm the system by unlocking the driver's door
with the key and then locking it. The door will be locked
but the Security Alarm will not arm.REAR SWING GATE
NOTE:The master key that is used to start the vehicle is
also used to lock or unlock the front doors, and open the
rear swing gate.
To unlock the rear swing gate, insert the key into the lock
(if equipped) and turn counter clockwise. The swing gate
flip-up window will unlatch and the swing gate will
unlock.
WARNING!
To avoid injury stand back when opening. Glass will
automatically rise.
On vehicles equipped with power locks, the swing gate
can also be unlocked using the remote keyless entry, or
by activating the power door lock switches located on the
front doors.

airbags to inflate. Based on the level of collision
severity, the front control module determines the
proper rate of inflation. The front airbag inflators are
designed to provide different rates of airbag inflation
from direction provided by the ORC. The ORC may
