VEHICLE SECURITY ALARM —
IF EQUIPPED
The Vehicle Security Alarm monitors the hood,
liftgate, liftgate flipper glass, vehicle doors for
unauthorized entry, and the ignition switch for
unauthorized operation. If something triggers
the alarm, the Vehicle Security Alarm will pre-
vent the vehicle from starting and provide the
following audio and visual signals: the horn will
pulse, the headlights will flash, the park lights
will flash, and the Vehicle Security Light in the
instrument cluster will flash.
To Arm the System
Vehicles Not Equipped with Keyless
Enter-N-Go
Remove the key from the ignition switch and
either press a power door lock switch while the
driver or passenger door is open, or press the
LOCK button on the Remote Keyless Entry
(RKE) transmitter. After the last door is closed,
or if all doors are closed, the Vehicle Security
Alarm will arm itself in about 16 seconds.
During that time, the Vehicle Security Light will
flash. If it does not illuminate, the Vehicle Secu-
rity Alarm is not arming. Also, if you open a door
during the arming period, the Vehicle Security
Alarm will cancel the arming process. If you
wish to rearm the Vehicle Security Alarm after
closing the door, you must repeat one of the
previously-described arming sequences.
Vehicles Equipped with Keyless
Enter-N-Go
Press the Keyless Enter-N-Go Start/Stop button
until the Electronic Vehicle Information Center
(EVIC) indicates that the vehicle ignition is
“OFF” (refer to “Starting Procedures” in “Start-
ing And Operating” for further information).

The Vehicle Security Alarm is designed to pro-
tect your vehicle; however, you can create
conditions where the Vehicle Security Alarm will
give you a false alarm. If one of the previously-
described arming sequences has occurred,
the Vehicle Security Alarm will arm, regardless
of whether you are in the vehicle or not. If you
remain in the vehicle and open a door, the
alarm will sound. If this occurs, disarm the
Vehicle Security Alarm.
If the Vehicle Security Alarm is armed, and the
battery becomes disconnected, the Vehicle Security Alarm will remain armed when the
battery is reconnected. The exterior lights will
flash, the horn will sound, and the ignition will
not start the vehicle. If this occurs, disarm the
Vehicle Security Alarm.
ILLUMINATED ENTRYThe interior lights come on when you open any
door or use the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
transmitter to unlock any door. They will remain
on for approximately 30 seconds after all doors
are closed then fade to off.
The lights also will fade to off if you turn on the
ignition after you close all the doors. Refer to

• Passenger Advanced Front Airbag
• Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Airbags
(SAB)

tains (SABIC)
• Front and Side Impact Sensors

• Supplemental Active Head Restraint for
Driver and Front Passenger
Advanced Front Airbag FeaturesThe Advanced Front Airbag system has multi-
stage driver and front passenger airbags. This
system provides output appropriate to the se-
verity and type of collision as determined by
the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC), which
may receive information from the front impact
sensors.
The first stage inflator is triggered immediately
during an impact that requires airbag deploy- ment. This low output is used in less severe
collisions. A higher energy output is used for
more severe collisions.
WARNING!
•
No objects should be placed over or near
the airbag on the instrument panel, be-
cause any such objects could cause harm if
the vehicle is in a collision severe enough
to cause the airbag to inflate.
• Do not put anything on or around the airbag
covers or attempt to open them manually.
You may damage the airbags and you
could be injured because the airbags may
no longer be functional. The protective cov-
ers for the airbag cushions are designed to
open only when the airbags are inflating.
• Do not drill, cut or tamper with the knee
bolster in any way.
• Do not mount any accessories to the knee
bolster such as alarm lights, stereos, citi-
zen band radios, etc. Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Airbags
(SAB)
Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Airbags pro-
vide enhanced protection to help protect an
occupant during a side impact. The Supple-
mental Seat-Mounted Side Airbag is marked
with an airbag label sewn into the outboard
side of the front seats.
When the airbag deploys, it opens the seam
between the front and side of the seat’s trim
cover. Each airbag deploys independently, that
is a left side impact deploys the left airbag only
and a right-side impact deploys only the right
airbag.
Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Airbag Label

pending on the severity and type of collision. In
these events, the ORC will deploy the SABIC
only on the impact side of the vehicle.
A quantity of non-toxic gas is generated to
inflate the side curtain airbag. The inflating side
curtain airbag pushes the outside edge of the
headliner out of the way and covers the win-
dow. The airbag inflates in about 30 ms (about
one-quarter of the time that it takes to blink your
eyes) with enough force to injure you if you are
not belted and seated properly, or if items are
positioned in the area where the side curtain
airbag inflates. This especially applies to chil-
dren. The side curtain airbag is only about
3-1/2 in (9 cm) thick when it is inflated.
Because airbag sensors estimate deceleration
over time, vehicle speed and damage are not
good indicators of whether or not an airbag
should have deployed.
NOTE:
In a rollover the pretensioners, and/or SAB
and SABIC airbags may deploy on both
sides of the vehicle.Front and Side Impact Sensors
In front and side impacts, impact sensors can
aid the ORC in determining appropriate re-
sponse to impact events. Additional sensors in
the ORC determine the level of airbag deploy-
ment and provide verification.
Enhanced Accident Response System
In the event of an impact causing airbag de-
ployment, if the communication network re-
mains intact, and the power remains intact,
depending on the nature of the event the ORC
will determine whether to have the Enhanced
Accident Response System perform the follow-
ing functions:
•
Cut off fuel to the engine.
• Flash hazard lights as long as the battery
has power or until the ignition key is turned
off.
• Turn on the interior lights, which remain on as
long as the battery has power or until the
ignition key is removed.
• Unlock the doors automatically. If a Deployment Occurs
The Advanced Front Airbags are designed to
deflate immediately after deployment.
NOTE:
Front and/or side airbags will not deploy in
all collisions. This does not mean some-
thing is wrong with the airbag system.
If you do have a collision which deploys the
airbags, any or all of the following may occur:
•
The nylon airbag material may sometimes
cause abrasions and/or skin reddening to
the driver and front passenger as the air-
bags deploy and unfold. The abrasions are
similar to friction rope burns or those you
might get sliding along a carpet or gymna-
sium floor. They are not caused by contact
with chemicals. They are not permanent and
normally heal quickly. However, if you
haven’t healed significantly within a few
days, or if you have any blistering, see your
doctor immediately.

WARNING!(Continued)
• Never put floor mats or other floor cover-
ings on top of already installed floor mats.
Additional floor mats and other coverings
will reduce the size of the pedal area and
interfere with the pedals.
• Check mounting of mats on a regular basis.
Always properly reinstall and secure floor
mats that have been removed for cleaning.
• Always make sure that objects cannot fall
into the driver foot well while the vehicle is
moving. Objects can become trapped un-
der the brake pedal and accelerator pedal
causing a loss of vehicle control.
(Continued)WARNING!(Continued)
• If required, mounting posts must be prop-
erly installed, if not equipped from the fac-
tory.
Failure to properly follow floor mat installation
or mounting can cause interference with the
brake pedal and accelerator pedal operation
causing loss of control of the vehicle.
Periodic Safety Checks You Should
Make Outside the Vehicle
Tires
Examine tires for excessive tread wear and
uneven wear patterns. Check for stones, nails,
glass, or other objects lodged in the tread.
Inspect the tread and sidewall for cuts and
cracks. Check the wheel nuts for tightness.
Check the tires (including spare) for proper
pressure. Lights
Have someone observe the operation of exte-
rior lights while you work the controls. Check
turn signal and high beam indicator lights on
the instrument panel.
Door Latches
Check for positive closing, latching, and lock-
ing.
Fluid Leaks
Check area under vehicle after overnight park-
ing for fuel, engine coolant, oil, or other fluid
leaks. Also, if gasoline fumes are detected or if
fuel, power steering fluid, or brake fluid leaks
are suspected, the cause should be located
and corrected immediately.
