VEHICLE SECURITY
ALARM (for
versions/markets, where
provided)
The Vehicle Security Alarm monitors
the vehicle doors, hood and trunk for
unauthorized entry and the Keyless
Enter-N-Go Start/Stop button for un-
authorized operation. While the Ve-
hicle Security Alarm is armed, inte-
rior switches for door locks and
decklid release are disabled. If some-
thing triggers the alarm, the Vehicle
Security Alarm will provide the fol-
lowing audible and visible signals: the
horn will pulse, the park lamps
and/or turn signals will flash, and the
Vehicle Security Light in the instru-
ment cluster will flash.
REARMING OF THE
SYSTEM
If something triggers the alarm, and
no action is taken to disarm it, the
Vehicle Security Alarm will turn off
the horn after 29 seconds, and turn off
all of the visual signals after an addi-
tional 31 seconds, then the Vehicle
Security Alarm will rearm itself.TO ARM THE SYSTEM

PROGRAMMING
ADDITIONAL
TRANSMITTERS
Programming Key Fobs or RKE
transmitters may be performed at an
authorized dealer.
TRANSMITTER BATTERY
REPLACEMENT
The recommended replacement bat-
tery is one CR2032 battery.
NOTE:
 Perchlorate Material — special
handling may apply. Batteries
could contain dangerous mate-
rials. Please dispose of them ac-
cording to respect for environ-
ment and local laws.
 Do not touch the battery termi- nals that are on the back hous-
ing or the printed circuit board.
1. Remove the emergency key by
sliding the mechanical latch on the
back of the RKE transmitter sideways
with your thumb and then pull the
key out with your other hand.
2. Insert the tip of the emergency key
or a #2 flat blade screwdriver into the
17

ans, other objects that are impacted
may result in an Active Hood deploy-
ment.
Deployment Sensors And Controls
The Occupant Restraint Controller
(ORC) determines if deployment of
the actuators in a frontal impact is
required. Based on the impact sensors
signals, the ORC determines when to
deploy the actuators. The impact sen-
sors are located within the front bum-
per area.
The ORC monitors the readiness of
the electronic parts of the Active Hood
system whenever the ignition switch is
in the START or ON/RUN position. If
the key is in the LOCK position, in the
ACC position, or not in the ignition,
the Active Hood system is not on and
the Active Hood will not deploy.
The ORC contains a backup power
supply system that may deploy the
actuators even if the battery loses
power or it becomes disconnected
prior to deployment.
Service Active Hood System
If the ORC has deployed the Active
Hood, or if it detects a malfunction inany part of the system, it turns on the
Air Bag Warning Light and it will
display the “SERVICE ACTIVE
HOOD” message in the Electronic Ve-
hicle Information Center (EVIC), for
versions/markets, where provided. A
single chime will sound if the Air Bag
Warning Light comes on again after
initial startup. It also includes diag-
nostics that will illuminate the Air Bag
Warning Light if a malfunction is
noted that could affect the Active
Hood system. The diagnostics also re-
cord the nature of the malfunction. If
the Air Bag Warning Light is illumi-
nated, or if “SERVICE ACTIVE
HOOD” appears in the EVIC, see
your authorized dealer.
In the event of an Active Hood deploy-
ment, the vehicle should be serviced
by an authorized dealer. The hood
hinges must be serviced and the ac-
tuator assemblies replaced to restore
system functionality.
Following an Active Hood deploy-
ment, the hood position can be tem-
porarily reset by pushing down at the
rear edge over the hood hinges as the
internal pressure of each actuator isrelieved. The temporary hood reset
position is intended to improve for-
ward driving visibility over the hood
until the vehicle can be serviced. The
temporary hood reset position will
leave the hood approximately 5 mm
above the fender surface.
The front bumper assembly may af-
fect proper operation of the Active
Hood system. The front bumper com-
ponents should be inspected for dam-
age and replaced if necessary in the
event of a frontal impact, even if it
occurs at a low rate of speed.
NOTE:
After any Active Hood deployment,
the vehicle should be taken to an
authorized dealer immediately.

ACC position, or not in the ignition,
the air bag system is not on and the air
bags will not inflate.
The ORC contains a backup power
supply system that may deploy the air
bags even if the battery loses power or
it becomes disconnected prior to de-
ployment.Also, the ORC turns on the
Air Bag Warning Light in
the instrument panel for
approximately four to eight
seconds for a self-check when the ig-
nition is first turned on. After the self-
check, the Air Bag Warning Light will
turn off. If the ORC detects a mal-
function in any part of the system, it
turns on the Air Bag Warning Light,
either momentarily or continuously. A
single chime will sound if the light
comes on again after initial startup.
It also includes diagnostics that will
illuminate the instrument cluster Air
Bag Warning Light if a malfunction is
noted that could affect the air bag
system. The diagnostics also record
the nature of the malfunction.
WARNING!
Ignoring the Air Bag Warning Light
in your instrument panel could
mean you won't have the air bags to
protect you in a collision. If the light
does not come on as a bulb check
when the ignition is first turned on,
stays on after you start the vehicle,
or if it comes on as you drive, have
an authorized dealer service the air
bag system immediately.
Driver And Passenger Advanced
Front Air Bag Inflator Units
The Driver and Passenger Advanced
Front Air Bag Inflator Units are lo-
cated in the center of the steering
wheel and on the right side of the
instrument panel. When the ORC de-
tects a collision requiring the Ad-
vanced Front Air Bags, it signals the
inflator units. A large quantity of non-
toxic gas is generated to inflate the
Advanced Front Air Bags. Different
air bag inflation rates are possible,
based on the collision type and sever-
ity. The steering wheel hub trim cover
and the upper right side of the instru-
ment panel separate and fold out of the way as the air bags inflate to their
full size. The air bags fully inflate in
about 50 to 70 milliseconds. This is
about half of the time it takes to blink
your eyes. The air bags then quickly
deflate while helping to restrain the
driver and front passenger.
The Advanced Front Air Bag gas is
vented through the vent holes in the
sides of the air bag. In this way, the air
bags do not interfere with your con-
trol of the vehicle.
Supplemental Driver Side Knee
Air Bag Inflator Unit (for
versions/markets, where
provided)
The Supplemental Driver Side Knee
Air Bag unit is located in the instru-
ment panel trim beneath the steering
column. When the ORC detects a col-
lision requiring the air bag, it signals
the inflator units. A large quantity of
non-toxic gas is generated to inflate
the Supplemental Driver Side Knee
Air Bag. The trim cover separates and
folds out of the way allowing the air
bag to inflate to the full size. The air
bag fully inflates in about 15 to 20
milliseconds. The Supplemental

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 or sidewall. In-
spect the tread for cuts and cracks.
Inspect sidewalls for cuts, cracks and
bulges. Check the wheel nuts fortightness. Check the tires (including
spare) for proper cold inflation pres-
sure.
Lights
Have someone observe the operation
of exterior lights while you work the
controls. Check turn signal and high
beam indicator lights on the instru-
ment panel.
Door Latches
Check for positive closing, latching,
and locking.Fluid Leaks
Check area under vehicle after over-
night parking for fuel, engine coolant,
oil, or other fluid leaks. Also, if gaso-
line fumes are detected or if fuel,
power steering fluid, or brake fluid
leaks are suspected, the cause should
be located and corrected immediately.
