Immobilizer Operation
(Canada)
This vehicle has a passive
theft-deterrent system.
The system is automatically armed
when the key is removed from the
ignition.
The system is automatically
disarmed when the key is turned
to ON/RUN. You do not have to manually arm or
disarm the system.
The security light comes on if
there is a problem with arming or
disarming the theft-deterrent
system.
The key uses a transponder that
matches an immobilizer control unit
in the vehicle. Only the correct key
starts the vehicle. If the key is ever
damaged, the vehicle may not start.
When trying to start the vehicle,
if the engine does not start and the
security light comes on, there may
be a problem with the theft-deterrent
system. Turn the ignition off and try
again.

If the engine still does not start, and
the key appears to be undamaged,
try another ignition key. Check the
fuse. SeeFuses and Circuit
Breakers
on page 10‑39. If the
engine still does not start with the
other key, the vehicle needs service.
If the vehicle does start, the first key
may be faulty. See your dealer who
can service the theft-deterrent
system and have a new key made.
It is possible for the theft-deterrent
system decoder to learn the
transponder value of a new or
replacement key. Up to 10 keys
can be programmed for the vehicle.
The following procedure is for
programming additional keys only.
If the keys are lost or damaged,
only a dealer can service the
theft-deterrent system to have new
ones made. Two current driver's
keys are required to program
additional keys. To program a new key:
1. Verify that the new key has
PK3+ stamped on it.
2. Insert the current driver's key in the ignition and start the engine.
If the engine does not start see
your dealer for service.
3. After the engine has started, turn the key to LOCK/OFF, and
remove the key.
4. Insert the second current driver's key in the ignition and start the
engine within ten seconds of
removing the previous key. If the
engine does not start see your
dealer for service. 5. After the engine has started,
turn the key to LOCK/OFF, and
remove the key. Insert the key to
be programmed and turn it to
ON/RUN within ten seconds of
removing the previous key.
The security light turns off once
the key has been programmed.
6. Repeat the Steps 1 through 5 if additional keys are to be
programmed.
If the security light comes on
and stays on while driving, the
engine will restart if you turn it off.
However, the theft-deterrent
system is not working properly and
must be serviced by your dealer.
The vehicle is not protected by the
theft-deterrent system at this time.
In an emergency, contact Roadside
Assistance. See Roadside Service
on page 13‑5.
Do not leave the key or device that
disarms or deactivates the theft
deterrent system in the vehicle.

3-34 Seats and Restraints
You can lock the doors, turn off the
interior lamps and hazard warning
flashers by using the controls for
those features.
{WARNING
A crash severe enough to
inflate the airbags may have
also damaged important functions
in the vehicle, such as the fuel
system, brake and steering
systems, etc. Even if the vehicle
appears to be drivable after a
moderate crash, there may be
concealed damage that could
make it difficult to safely operate
the vehicle.
Use caution if you should attempt
to restart the engine after a crash
has occurred.If damage to the vehicle is minor,
you may attempt to restart the
vehicle's engine. Note: If the fuel
system has been shut off after an
airbag has inflated, you may not
be able to restart the engine for up
to ten minutes. See
Starting the
Engineon page 9‑35for more
information.
In many crashes severe enough to
inflate the airbag, windshields are
broken by vehicle deformation.
Additional windshield breakage
may also occur from the right front
passenger airbag.
.Airbags are designed to inflate
only once. After an airbag
inflates, you will need some
new parts for the airbag system.
If you do not get them, the
airbag system will not be there to help protect you in another
crash. A new system will include
airbag modules and possibly
other parts. The service manual
for your vehicle covers the need
to replace other parts.
.The vehicle has a crash sensing
and diagnostic module which
records information after a
crash. See
Vehicle Data
Recording and Privacy
on
page 13‑15and Event Data
Recorders on page 13‑15.
.Let only qualified technicians
work on the airbag systems.
Improper service can mean that
an airbag system will not work
properly. See your dealer for
service.

5-6 Instruments and Controls
Ashtrays
For vehicles with a removable
ashtray, it can be placed into the
cupholder and be removed for
cleaning.
Notice:If papers, pins, or other
flammable items are put in the
ashtray, hot cigarettes or other
smoking materials could ignite
them and possibly damage the
vehicle. Never put flammable
items in the ashtray.
Warning Lights,
Gauges, and
Indicators
Warning lights and gauges can
signal that something is wrong
before it becomes serious enough
to cause an expensive repair or
replacement. Paying attention to the
warning lights and gauges could
prevent injury.
Warning lights come on when there
could be a problem with a vehicle
function. Some warning lights come
on briefly when the engine is started
to indicate they are working. Gauges can indicate when there
could be a problem with a vehicle
function. Often gauges and warning
lights work together to indicate a
problem with the vehicle.
When one of the warning lights
comes on and stays on while
driving, or when one of the gauges
shows there may be a problem,
check the section that explains what
to do. Follow this manual's advice.
Waiting to do repairs can be costly
and even dangerous.

5-8 Instruments and Controls
Speedometer
The speedometer shows the
vehicle's speed in both kilometers
per hour (km/h) and miles per
hour (mph).
Odometer
The odometer shows how far the
vehicle has been driven, in either
kilometers or miles.
This vehicle has a tamper-resistant
odometer. If the vehicle needs a
new odometer installed, the new
one is set to the mileage of the old
odometer. If this is not possible,
it is set at zero and a label is put
on the driver's door to show the old
mileage reading.
Trip Odometer
The vehicle has a trip odometer that
indicates how far the vehicle has
been driven since the trip odometer
was last set to zero.See
“Trip Odometer” underDriver
Information Center (DIC)
on
page 5‑18for more information.
Tachometer
The tachometer displays the engine
speed in revolutions per
minute (rpm).
Fuel Gauge
United StatesCanada
The fuel gauge indicates about how
much fuel there is remaining in the
fuel tank. The ignition must be in
ON/RUN.
An arrow on the fuel gauge
indicates the side of the vehicle
the fuel door is on. Here are three things that can
happen but do not indicate a
problem with the fuel gauge:
.At the gas station, the gas pump
shuts off before the gauge
reads full.
.It takes a little more or less
fuel to fill up than the gauge
indicated. For example, the
gauge may have indicated the
tank was half full, but it actually
took a little more or less than
half the tank's capacity to fill
the tank.
.The gauge moves a little when
turning a corner or speeding up.
When the fuel in the fuel tank is low,
a LOW FUEL message displays on
the Driver Information Center (DIC).
See Fuel System Messages
on
page 5‑24for more information.

Instruments and Controls 5-9
Engine Coolant
Temperature Gauge
United StatesCanada
This gauge shows the engine
coolant temperature.
If the gauge pointer is in the shaded
area of the gauge, the engine is
too hot. It means that the engine
coolant has overheated. If the
vehicle has been operating under
normal driving conditions, pull off
the road, stop your vehicle and turn
off the engine as soon as possible.
See Engine Overheating
on
page 10‑22for more information.
