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 theft-deterrent alarm
system.
A security light, located
on top of the instrument
panel will ash slowly
to let you know that the
system has been
armed.
While armed, the doors will not unlock with the
power door lock switch.
Once armed, the alarm will go off if someone tries
to enter the vehicle without using the optional
remote keyless entry transmitter or the key, or tries
to turn the ignition on without using the correct
key. The horn will sound and the headlamps and
parking lamps will ash any time the alarm
sounds.
122

When the content theft-deterrent system is armed,
the liftgate may be opened by pressing the
REAR button on the remote keyless entry
transmitter. The alarm will go into standby mode.
Once the liftgate is closed, the alarm will be
armed. See “Liftgate Release” underLiftgate on
page 118for more information on how to open the
liftgate.
Arming with the Power Lock Switch
The content theft-deterrent alarm system will arm
when you use either power door lock switch to
lock the doors while any door or the liftgate is open
and the key is removed from the ignition. The
security light, located on top of the instrument
panel, will start ashing when the system is armed.
Within ve seconds, after the security light
begins to ash, any door can be manually
unlocked and opened, without sounding the alarm.
A door unlocked manually will remain unlocked
until locked again.
Arming with the Remote Keyless
Entry Transmitter
Your alarm system will arm when you press LOCK
once on your remote keyless entry transmitter
to lock the doors. The alarm system light will come
on for 30 seconds and then start ashing to let
you know the system is armed.
Within the 30 second delay after the security light
comes on, and an additional ve seconds after
the light begins to ash, any door can be manually
unlocked and opened, without sounding the
alarm.
If LOCK is pressed on your remote keyless entry
transmitter twice within ve seconds, any door
can be manually unlocked and opened within ve
seconds after the security light begins to ash,
without sounding the alarm. A door unlocked
manually will remain unlocked until locked again.
Disarming with Your Key
Your alarm system will disarm when you use your
key to unlock the driver’s door. The security
light will stop ashing to let you know the system
is no longer armed.
123

Disarming with the Remote Keyless
Entry Transmitter
Your alarm system will disarm when you press
UNLOCK on your remote keyless entry transmitter
to unlock the doors. The security light, on top of
the instrument panel, will stop ashing to let
you know the system is no longer armed.

Key In the Ignition
Never leave your vehicle with the keys inside, as it
is an easy target for joy riders or thieves. If you
leave the key in the ignition and park your vehicle,
a chime will sound, when you open the driver’s
door. Always remember to remove your key from
the ignition and take it with you. This will lock
your ignition and transaxle. Also, always remember
to lock the doors.
The battery could be drained if you leave the key
in the ignition while your vehicle is parked.
You may not be able to start your vehicle after it
has been parked for an extended period of time.
Retained Accessory Power (RAP)
With RAP, the power windows, the audio system,
the sunroof and the automatic level control will
continue to work for up to 10 minutes after
the ignition key is turned to OFF or until one of the
doors is opened.
Starting the Engine
Move your shift lever to PARK (P) or
NEUTRAL (N). Your engine will not start in
any other position — that is a safety feature.
To restart when you are already moving,
use NEUTRAL (N) only.
Notice:Shifting into PARK (P) with the vehicle
moving could damage the transaxle. Shift into
PARK (P) only when your vehicle is stopped.
1. With your foot off the accelerator pedal, turn
your ignition key to START. When the engine
starts, let go of the key. The idle speed will
go down as your engine warms up. Do
not race the engine immediately after starting
it. Operate the engine and transaxle gently
until the oil warms up and lubricates all moving
parts.
