With the system set, you can still
open the trunk with the remote
transmitter/keyless access remote
without triggering the alarm. The
alarm will sound if the trunk is
opened with the trunk release button
on the driver’s door, the trunk
release handle behind the trunk
pass-through cover, or the
emergency trunk opener.
Use the remote transmitter/
keyless access remote to quickly
check that the hood, the trunk, and
all doors are closed. Push the lock
button twice within 5 seconds. There
should be an audible conf irmation
beep. The security system will not set if
the hood, trunk, or any door is not
f ully closed. If the system will not set,
turn the ignition switch to the ON
(II) position, and check the
indicators on the multi-information
display. Close any door or the trunk
indicated on the display. Check the
hood visually since it is not part of
the display, and shut it if necessary.
Do not attempt to alter this system
or add other devices to it.
Models equipped with the
keyless access system have an
engine start/stop button instead
of an ignition switch. ON Mode
is the equivalent of ON (II). For
more inf ormation, see pagesand .
Once the security system is set,
opening any door (without using the
key or the remote transmitter/
keyless access remote), the hood, or
the trunk will cause the alarm to
activate. It will also activate if the
audio unit is removed f rom the
dashboard or the wiring is cut.
You can also set the security system
by pressing the lock button on either
f ront door handle while carrying the
keyless access remote.

Your vehicle’s starting system has an
auto control mode. When you turn
the ignition switch to the START
(III) position, this f eature keeps the
engine’s starter motor running until
the engine starts. Follow these
instructions to start the engine:Without touching the accelerator
pedal, turn the ignition switch to
the START (III) position, then
release the ignition switch. You do
not need to hold the ignition
switch in the START (III) position
to start the engine. Depending on
the outside temperature, the
starter motor runs f or about 6 to 9 seconds until the engine starts.
Make sure the shif t lever is in
Park. Press on the brake pedal. In cold weather, turn of f all
electrical accessories to reduce
the drain on the battery. Apply the parking brake. If the engine does not start, wait at
least 10 seconds bef ore trying
again. If you hold the ignition switch in
the START (III) position f or more
than 7 seconds, the starter motor,
depending on the outside
temperature, runs f or about 10 to
25 seconds until the engine starts.
