Programmable Horn Chirp
Through the DIC, you may choose whether or not to
have a horn chirp when you use the remote keyless
entry transmitter to lock or unlock the doors.
SeeDIC Operation and Displays on page 3-37for more
information.
Matching Transmitter(s) to
Your Vehicle
Each remote keyless entry transmitter is coded to
prevent another transmitter from unlocking your vehicle.
If a transmitter is lost or stolen, a replacement can
be purchased through your dealer. Remember to bring
any remaining transmitters with you when you go to
your dealer. When the dealer matches the replacement
transmitter to your vehicle, any remaining transmitters
must also be matched. Once your dealer has coded the
new transmitter, the lost transmitter will not unlock
your vehicle. Each vehicle can have a maximum of
four transmitters matched to it.

Sun Visors
Swing down the visors to block glare. The visors can be
removed from the center mount and swung to the
side. The visors also have extenders that can be pulled
out for additional blockage.
Your vehicle may have lighted vanity mirrors on the
driver’s and passenger’s visors. When you lift the cover,
the light will turn on.
Theft-Deterrent Systems
Vehicle theft is big business, especially in some cities.
Although your vehicle has a number of theft-deterrent
features, we know that nothing we put on it can make it
impossible to steal.
Content Theft-Deterrent
Your vehicle may have a
content theft-deterrent
alarm system.
Arming the System
With the ignition off, you can arm the system by doing
any one of the following:
Press the remote keyless entry transmitter lock
button.
Press the power door lock switch while the driver’s
door is open.
Turn the driver’s door key lock cylinder clockwise.
The system will arm either:
thirty seconds after all the doors are closed, or
sixty seconds with any door open.
If you press the lock button on the transmitter a second
time while all the doors are closed, the system will
arm immediately. The system will still arm in
sixty seconds if a door is open. When the open door is
closed, it will also become armed.
The security light will turn on to indicate that arming has
been initiated. Once the system is armed, the security
light will ash once every three seconds.
If the security light is ashing twice per second, this
means that a door is open.
If you do not want to arm the system, you may lock the
car with the lock levers on the doors.

Disarming the System
You can disarm the system by doing any one of the
following:
Press the remote keyless entry transmitter
unlock button.
Turn the ignition on.
Turn the driver’s door key lock cylinder
counterclockwise.
Once the system is disarmed, the security light will
stop ashing.
How the System Alarm is Activated
If the system is armed, it can be activated by either:
Opening the driver’s door. This will cause a
ten second pre-alarm chirp followed by a
thirty second full alarm of horn and lights.
Opening any other door or trunk. This will
immediately cause a full alarm of horn and lights
for thirty seconds.
Opening the hood, if the vehicle is equipped with
the remote start feature, will activate the alarm.
When an alarm event has nished, the system will
re-arm itself automatically.
How to Turn Off the System Alarm
To turn off the system alarm, do one of the following:
Press the lock button on the remote keyless
entry transmitter. The system will then re-arm itself.
Press the unlock button on the remote keyless entry
transmitter. This will also disarm the system.
Insert the key in the driver’s door key lock cylinder
and turn it counterclockwise. This will also disarm
the system.
Insert the key in the ignition and turn it on. This will
also disarm the system.
Simulated Armed Mode
If you choose not to arm the system or if proper arming
can not be completed, the Content Theft Deterrent
system will ash the security light once every
three seconds after a one minute delay with all the
doors closed. This ashing serves as a visual deterrent;
however, the system is not armed.
How to Detect a Tamper Condition
If you hear three chirps when you press the unlock or
lock buttons on the remote keyless transmitter, it means
that the content theft security system alarm was
triggered previously.

Warning Lights, Gages, and
Indicators
This part describes the warning lights and gages that
may be on your vehicle. The pictures will help you
locate them.
Warning lights and gages can signal that something is
wrong before it becomes serious enough to cause
an expensive repair or replacement. Paying attention to
your warning lights and gages could also save you
or others from injury.
Warning lights come on when there may be or is a
problem with one of your vehicle’s functions. As you will
see in the details on the next few pages, some
warning lights come on briey when you start the
engine just to let you know they are working. If you are
familiar with this section, you should not be alarmed
when this happens.Gages can indicate when there may be or is a problem
with one of your vehicle’s functions. Often gages
and warning lights work together to let you know when
there is a problem with your vehicle.
When one of the warning lights comes on and stays on
when you are driving, or when one of the gages
shows there may be a problem, check the section
that tells you what to do about it. Please follow this
manual’s advice. Waiting to do repairs can be
costly — and even dangerous. So please get to know
your warning lights and gages. They are a big help.
Instrument Panel Cluster
Your instrument panel cluster is designed to let you
know at a glance how your vehicle is running. You will
know how fast you are going, how much fuel you
have, and many other things you’ll need to drive safely
and economically.
