{CAUTION:
It can be dangerous to drive with the
liftgate open because carbon monoxide
(CO) gas can come into your vehicle. You
cannot see or smell CO. It can cause
unconsciousness and even death.
If you must drive with the liftgate open, or if
electrical wiring or other cable connections
must pass through the seal between the
body and the liftgate:
Make sure all other windows are shut.
Turn the fan on your heating or cooling
system to its highest speed with the
recirculation mode off. That will force
outside air into your vehicle. See
Climate Control System on page 194.

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.
To activate the theft-deterrent system, do one of
the following:
Press the lock button on the Remote Keyless
Entry (RKE) transmitter when any door is open.
The security light should come on and ash.
When the door is closed, the security light will
stop ashing and stay on solid and then go offafter approximately 30 seconds. The content
theft deterrent alarm is not armed until the
security light goes off.
If the delayed locking feature is active, the
alarm will not be activated until all doors are
closed and the security light goes off.
Press the lock button on the RKE transmitter
when the driver door is closed.
The security light will come on solid for
approximately 30 seconds and then go off. The
content theft deterrent alarm is not armed until
the security light goes off.
If a locked door is opened without using the key
in the driver’s door key cylinder or the RKE
transmitter, a ten second pre-alarm will occur. The
horn will chirp and the lights will ash. If the key is
not placed in the ignition and turned to START or
the door is not unlocked by pressing the unlock
button on the RKE transmitter during the
ten second pre-alarm, the alarm will go off. Your
vehicle’s headlamps will ash and the horn will
sound for about two minutes, then will turn off to
save the battery power.

Dome Lamps
The dome lamps automatically come on when a
door is opened, unless the dome lamp override
button is pressed in.
The lamps can also be turned on by turning the
instrument panel brightness control clockwise
to the farthest position. In this position, the dome
lamps will remain on until they are turned off.
Dome Lamp Override
The dome lamp override button is located next to
the exterior lamps control.
The dome lamp override is used to set the dome
lamps to remain off or come on automatically
when a door is opened.
E(Dome Lamp Override):Press the button in
and the dome lamps remain off when a door
is opened. Press the button again to return it to
the extended position so that the dome lamps
come on when a door is opened.
Entry Lighting
Your vehicle may have courtesy lamps that will
come on and stay on for a set time whenever the
unlock symbol is pressed on the Remote
Keyless Entry (RKE) Transmitter, if the vehicle
has one.
If a door is opened, the lamps will stay on while it is
open and then turn off automatically about
25 seconds after the door is closed. If the unlock
symbol is pressed and you do not open a door, the
lamps will turn off after about 20 seconds.
Entry lighting includes a feature called theater
dimming. With theater dimming, the lamps do not
turn off at the end of the delay time. Instead,
they slowly dim after the delay time until they go
out. The delay time is canceled if you turn the
ignition key to ON or press the power door
lock switch. The lamps will dim right away.
When the ignition is on, illuminated entry is
inactive, which means the courtesy lamps will not
come on unless a door is opened.
