To test the alarm:
1. From inside the vehicle, lowerthe driver window and open the
driver door.
2. Get out of the vehicle, close the door and activate the system by
locking the doors with the RKE
transmitter.
3. Wait for the security light to flash slowly.
4. Then reach in through the window, unlock the door with the
manual door lock and open the
door. This should set off the
alarm.
If the alarm does not sound when it
should, but the vehicle's headlamps
flash, check to see if the horn
works. The horn fuse may be blown.
To replace the fuse, see Fuses and
Circuit Breakers on page 10‑37. If the alarm does not sound or the
vehicle's headlamps do not flash,
see your dealer/retailer for service.

See
Radio Frequency Statementon
page 13‑16for information
regarding Part 15 of the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC)
Rules and RSS-210/211 of Industry
and Science Canada.
Immobilizer Operation
This vehicle has PASS-Key®III+
(Personalized Automotive Security
System) theft-deterrent system.
PASS-Key
®III+ is a passive
theft-deterrent system.
The system is automatically armed
when the key is removed from the
ignition.
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.
When the PASS-Key
®III+ system
senses that someone is using the
wrong key, it prevents the vehicle
from starting. Anyone using a
trial-and-error method to start the
vehicle will be discouraged because
of the high number of electrical key
codes.
When trying to start the vehicle if
the engine does not start and the
security light on the instrument
panel cluster comes on, there
may be a problem with your
theft-deterrent system. Turn the
ignition off and try again.

5-4 Instruments and Controls
&(Adjustable Interval Wipes):
Sets a delay between wipes. Move
the switch on top of the lever left for
less frequent wipes or right for more
frequent wipes.
a(Low): Slow wipes.
1(High): Fast wipes.
Clear ice and snow from the wiper
blades before using them. If frozen
to the windshield, carefully loosen or
thaw them. Damaged wiper blades
should be replaced. See Wiper
Blade Replacement on page 10‑29.
Heavy snow or ice can overload the
wiper motor. A circuit breaker will
stop the motor until it cools down.
Rainsense™
Notice: Going through an
automatic car wash with the
wipers on can damage them. Turn
the wipers off when going
through an automatic car wash.
For vehicles with Rainsense™
windshield wipers, the moisture
sensor is located next to the inside
rearview mirror and is mounted on
the windshield. When active, these
sensors are able to detect moisture
on the windshield and automatically
turn on the wipers.
To turn on the Rainsense feature,
the wipers must be set to one
of the five delay settings on the
multifunction lever. Each of the five
settings adjusts the sensitivity of the
sensor. Since different drivers have
different setting preferences, it is
recommended that the mid-range
setting (position 3) be used initially.
For more wipes, select the higher
settings; for fewer wipes, select the
lower settings located closer to the
off position on the turn signal/lane
change lever.
The sensor automatically controls
the frequency of the wipes from the
off setting to the high speed setting
according to the weather conditions.
The wipers can be left in a
rainsense mode even when it is not
raining.
When Rainsense is active, the
headlamps turn on automatically if
the exterior lamp control is in the
AUTO position and the wipers are
active.
