Sun Visors
Swing down the primary visor to block out glare.
It can also be detached from the center mount
and moved to the side to block glare from
that direction.
The driver’s visor may also have buttons for a
built-in garage door opener. SeeUniversal Home
Remote System on page 147for more
information.
Lighted Visor Vanity Mirror
Pull the visor down and lift the cover to access the
mirror. A light comes on when the cover is lifted
and goes out when it is closed.
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.
Theft-Deterrent System
If your vehicle has this
feature, the security
light is located on
the instrument panel
cluster.
If the ignition is off and a door is open, the
security light will ash, reminding you to arm the
theft-deterrent system.

To arm the system, do the following:
1. Lock the door using the Remote Keyless
Entry (RKE) transmitter or the power door
lock switch.
2. Close all the doors. The security light
will come on. It should go off within
approximately 30 seconds. Your security
system is now armed.
If a door or a trunk is opened without a key or a
RKE transmitter, the horn will sound and the lamps
will ash for up to 30 seconds.
The theft-deterrent system will not arm if you lock
the doors with a key or use the manual door
lock. It activates only if you use the RKE
transmitter or the power lock on the door.To avoid activating the alarm by accident do the
following:
Lock the door with the key or the manual door
lock after the doors are closed if you do not
want to arm the theft-deterrent system.
Always unlock a door with a key or use the
RKE transmitter. Pressing the unlock button
on the RKE transmitter disables the
theft-deterrent system.
Unlocking a door any other way will activate
the alarm when a door or the trunk is opened.
If you activate the alarm by accident, unlock the
driver’s door with your key. You can also turn
off the alarm by using the unlock button on the
RKE transmitter, or by starting the vehicle with a
valid key.

Testing the Alarm
1. Roll down the window, then get out of the
vehicle, keeping the door open.
2. From outside of the vehicle, with the door
open, lock the vehicle using the power door
lock switch or the RKE transmitter and close
the door. Wait approximately 30 seconds
until the security light goes off.
3. Reach in and unlock the door using the
manual lock and open the door. The horn
will sound and the exterior lamps will ash.
The alarm can be turned off by unlocking the
driver’s door with the key, using the unlock button
on the RKE transmitter or by starting the car
with a valid key.
If the alarm does not sound when it should, check
to see if the horn works. The horn fuse may be
blown. To replace the fuse, seeFuses and Circuit
Breakers on page 447. If the fuse does not need
to be replaced, you may need to have your vehicle
serviced.
To reduce the possibility of theft, always arm the
theft-deterrent system when leaving your vehicle.
