VEHICLE THEFT ALARM
The system monitors the doors, trunk/liftgate, hood, and
ignition for unauthorized operation.
Once the system has been armed, opening any door,
trunk/liftgate (with the ignition key), hood or turning the
ignition key to any position will trigger an alarm.
If something triggers the alarm, the system will signal for
about 18 minutes. For the first 3 minutes the horn will
sound and the park, tail and fog lights will flash. If the
condition which triggered the alarm is still present, the
park, tail and fog lights will continue to flash for 15
minutes, unless the trigger condition is cleared sooner.
NOTE:The engine will not start until the system is
disarmed.
To Arm the Vehicle Theft Alarm System
There are two methods to arm the Vehicle Theft Alarm
system:
1. Press the Lock button on the Remote Keyless Entry.
The optical and audible horn chirp will sound if it is
enabled. (See Remote Keyless Entry section of this
manual)
2. Remove the keys from the ignition and, with the door
open, press the Lock button on the door trim panel and
close the door.

Do not allow children to have access to the trunk,
either by climbing into the trunk from outside, or
through the inside of the vehicle. Always close the
trunk lid when your vehicle is unattended. Once in
the trunk, young children may not be able to escape.

cation or heat stroke.

pulling on the lever attached to the trunk latching
mechanism, which is coated so that it glows in a dark-
ened trunk.
LIFTGATE — COUPE MODELS ONLY
The liftgate can be unlatched by using the vehicle key or
with the remote keyless entry transmitter. Press and hold
the trunk/liftgate button on the remote keyless entry
transmitter to unlatch the liftgate by remote. The front
and rear park/turn signal lights will blink 3 times. Then
pull the liftgate open with one fluid motion.
With the ignition ON, the trunk/liftgate open symbol
will be displayed in the instrument cluster indicating that
the liftgate is open.
With the key in the OFF/LOCK position or key out, the
trunk/liftgate open symbol will be displayed until the
liftgate is closed.
WARNING!
•Driving with the liftgate open can allow poison-
ous exhaust gases into your vehicle. You and your
passengers could be injured by these fumes. Keep
the liftgate closed when you are operating the
vehicle.
•If you are required to drive with the liftgate open,
make sure that all windows are closed, and the
climate control blower switch is set at high speed.
DO NOT use the recirculation mode.
Gas props support the liftgate in the open position.
However, because the gas pressure drops with tempera-
ture, it may be necessary to assist the props when
opening the liftgate in cold weather.
26 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE

Research has shown that seat belts save lives. They also
can reduce the seriousness of injuries in a collision. Some
of the worst injuries happen when people are thrown
from the vehicle. Seat belts provide protection against
that, and they reduce the risk of injury caused by striking
the inside of the vehicle. Everyone in a motor vehicle
needs to be buckled up all the time.
Lap/Shoulder Belts
Each seat belt is a combined lap/shoulder belt system.
The belt webbing retractor will lock only during very
sudden stops or impacts. This feature allows the shoulder
part of the belt to move freely with you under normal
conditions. But, in a collision, the belt will lock and
reduce the risk of your striking the inside of the vehicle or
being thrown out.
WARNING!
Wearing a seat belt incorrectly is dangerous. Seat
belts are designed to go around the large bones of
your body. These are the strongest parts of your body
and can take the forces of a collision the best.
Wearing your belt in the wrong place could make
your injuries in a collision much worse. You might
suffer internal injuries, or you could even slide out
of part of the belt. Follow these instructions to wear
your seat belt safely and to keep your passengers
safe, too.
30 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE

Six Point Belt System - If equipped
This six point belt system meets SCCA standards and
should be only used when engaged in related perfor-
mance driving events. The standard lap/shoulder belt
should be used whenever the vehicle is operated on the
street.
Six Point Belt Operating Instructions
With the anti-submarining belt placed on the seat point-
ing up, buckle the left and right lap belts and strap both
legs. Buckle the left and right shoulder belts. Adjust the
belts by pulling on the web ends and/or re-positioning
the web clips and straps as required. Release the belts by
turning the belt latch mechanism
14turn in either the
clockwise or counter-clockwise direction.
NOTE:The anti-submarining belt and the shoulder belt
are attached to eye bolts at designated locations andshould be removed from the vehicle when not in use. The
lap belts and straps can be stored behind or to the sides
of the seat after removal.
Seat Belts and Pregnant Women
We recommend that pregnant women use the seat belts
throughout their pregnancy. Keeping the mother safe is
the best way to keep the baby safe.
Pregnant women should wear the lap part of the belt
across the thighs and as snug across the hips as possible.
Keep the belt low so that it does not come across the
abdomen. That way the strong bones of the hips will take
the force if there is a collision.
Seat Belt Extender
If a seat belt is too short, even when fully extended, your
dealer can provide you with a seat belt extender. This
extender should be used only if the existing belt is not
long enough.
