To program this mode, use the following
procedure:
1. Press the set/reset button to scroll to
OFF or ON.
2. Press the options button again to advance to
the next screen.
KEY CYLINDER DISARM:If the vehicle has a
content theft-deterrent system, and ON was
selected on the THEFT DETERRENT screen, this
screen allows this feature to be turned OFF or
ON. This feature determines whether the driver’s
door key cylinder may be used to disarm the
content theft-deterrent system.
If OFF is selected, the vehicle’s content
theft-deterrent system can not be disarmed by
unlocking the driver’s door using the driver’s door
key cylinder. Selecting OFF prevents a thief from
disarming the vehicle’s content theft-deterrent
system by attacking the driver’s door key cylinder,
and may make the vehicle more secure. However, if
OFF is selected, unlocking an armed vehicle by
using the driver’s door key cylinder and opening the
door will cause the content theft alarm to activate.
For this reason, it is recommended that the vehicle
be unlocked using the remote keyless entry system
when this feature is set to OFF.If ON is selected, the vehicle’s content
theft-deterrent system can be disarmed by
unlocking the driver’s door using the driver’s door
key cylinder.
To program this mode, use the following procedure:
1. Press the set/reset button to scroll to
OFF or ON.
2. Press the options button again to advance to
the next screen.
LOCK SWITCH ARM:If the vehicle has the
content theft-deterrent system and ON was
selected on the THEFT DETERRENT screen, this
screen allows this feature to be turned OFF or
ON. This feature controls whether the vehicle’s
content theft system can be activated using a door
lock switch.
If OFF is selected, locking the vehicle using a
door lock switch will not cause the vehicle’s
content theft system to arm.

Learn to recognize warning clues — such as
enough water, ice, or packed snow on the road to
make a mirrored surface — and slow down when
you have any doubt.
If you have the Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS),
remember: It helps avoid only the braking skid. If
you do not have ABS, then in a braking skid,
where the wheels are no longer rolling, release
enough pressure on the brakes to get the wheels
rolling again. This restores steering control.
Push the brake pedal down steadily when you
have to stop suddenly. As long as the wheels are
rolling, you will have steering control.
Driving at Night
Night driving is more dangerous than day driving.
One reason is that some drivers are likely to
be impaired — by alcohol or drugs, with night
vision problems, or by fatigue.
Here are some tips on night driving.
Drive defensively.
Do not drink and drive.
Adjust the inside rearview mirror to reduce the
glare from headlamps behind you.
Since you cannot see as well, you may need
to slow down and keep more space between
you and other vehicles.
Slow down, especially on higher speed roads.
Your vehicle’s headlamps can light up only so
much road ahead.
In remote areas, watch for animals.
If you are tired, pull off the road in a safe
place and rest.
No one can see as well at night as in the daytime.
But as we get older these differences increase.
A 50-year-old driver may require at least twice as
much light to see the same thing at night as a
20-year-old.
What you do in the daytime can also affect your
night vision. For example, if you spend the
day in bright sunshine you are wise to wear
sunglasses. Your eyes will have less trouble
adjusting to night. But if you are driving, do not
wear sunglasses at night. They may cut down on
glare from headlamps, but they also make a
lot of things invisible.
