With the system set, you can still
open the trunk with the remote
transmitter without triggering the
alarm. The alarm will sound if the
trunk lock is f orced, or the trunk is
opened with the trunk release lever
or the emergency trunk opener.
The security system helps to protect
your vehicle and valuables f rom thef t.
The horn sounds and a combination
of headlights, parking lights, side
marker lights and taillights f lashes if
someone attempts to break into your
vehicle or remove the audio unit.
This alarm continues for two
minutes, then the system resets. To
reset an alarming system bef ore the
two minutes have elapsed, unlock
the driver’s door with the key or the
remote transmitter.
The security system automatically
sets 15 seconds after you lock the
doors, hood, and trunk. For the
system to activate, you must lock the
doors f rom the outside with the key,
driver’s lock tab, door lock master
switch, or remote transmitter. The
security system indicator on the
instrument panel starts blinking
immediately to show you the system
is setting itself . Once the security system is set,
opening any door (without using the
key or the remote transmitter), the
hood, or the trunk will cause the
system to alarm. It also alarms if the
audio unit is removed f rom the
dashboard or the wiring is cut.
The security system will not set if
the hood, trunk, or any door is not
f ully closed. If the system will not set,
check the door and trunk open
indicators on the instrument panel
(see page ) to see if the doors and
trunk are f ully closed. Since it is not
part of the monitor display, manually
check the hood.

Here are some guidelines f or using
voice control:
TheHFLisoperatedbytheHFL
Talk and Back buttons on the left
side of the steering wheel. The next
f ew pages provide instructions f or all
basic f eatures of the HFL. Adjust the airflow from both the
dashboard and side vents so they
do not blow against the
microphone on the ceiling.
Close the windows and the
moonroof .
To enter a command, press and
release the Talk button. Then,
af ter the beep, say your command
in a clear, natural tone.
Lower the A/C f an speed during
voice recognition operation.Give a voice command in a clear
natural speaking voice without
pausing between words or
numbers. If the system cannot
recognize your command because
of the background noise, speak
louder.
If the microphone picks up voices
other than yours, the system may
not interpret your voice
commands correctly.
If the HFL does not recognize a
command, its response is, ‘‘Pardon.’’
If it doesn’t recognize the
command a second time, its
response is, ‘‘Please repeat.’’ If it
doesn’t recognize the command a
third time, it plays the Help
prompt.
