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
Follow these steps to arm the Vehicle
Security Alarm:
1. Make sure the vehicle ignition sys-
tem is "OFF". (refer to "Starting Pro-
cedures" in "Starting And Operating"
for further information).
2. Perform one of the following
methods to lock the vehicle:
Press LOCK on the interior power
door lock switch with the driver
and/or passenger door open.
Press the LOCK button on the exte-
rior Passive Entry Door Handle with a
valid Key Fob available in the same
exterior zone (refer to "Keyless Enter-
N-Go" in "Things To Know Before
Starting Your Vehicle" for further in-
formation).
Press the LOCK button on the Re-
mote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmit-
ter.
3. If any doors are open, close them.
TO DISARM THE SYSTEM
The Vehicle Security Alarm can be
disarmed using any of the following
methods: Press the UNLOCK button on the
Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
transmitter.
Grasp the Passive Entry Unlock Door Handle (refer to "Keyless
Enter-N-Go" in "Things To Know
Before Starting Your Vehicle" for
further information).
Cycle the vehicle ignition system out of the OFF position.
Press the Keyless Enter-N-GoStart/Stop button (requires at
least one valid Key Fob in the
vehicle).
NOTE:
The driver's door key cylinder and the trunk button on the RKE
transmitter cannot arm or dis-
arm the Vehicle Security Alarm.
When the Vehicle Security Alarm is armed, the interior
power door lock switches will
not unlock the doors.
The Vehicle Security Alarm is de-
signed to protect your vehicle; how-
ever, you can create conditions where
the system will give you a false alarm.
15
If one of the previously described
arming sequences has occurred, the
Vehicle Security Alarm will arm re-
gardless 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 discon-
nected, the Vehicle Security Alarm
will remain armed when the battery is
reconnected; the exterior lights will
flash, the horn will sound. If this oc-
curs, disarm the Vehicle Security
Alarm.
ILLUMINATED ENTRY

where provided)
The courtesy lights will turn on when
you use the Remote Keyless Entry
(RKE) transmitter to unlock the
doors or open any door.
This feature also turns on the ap-
proach lighting in the outside mirrors
(for versions/markets, where pro-
vided). Refer to “Mirrors” in “Under-standing The Features Of Your Ve-
hicle” for further information.
The lights will fade to off after ap-
proximately 30 seconds or they will
immediately fade to off once the igni-
tion is cycled to the ON/RUN position
from the OFF position.
NOTE:

ing a hand-held Key Fob with RKE
transmitter. The RKE transmitter does not need to be pointed at the

TRUNK SAFETY
WARNINGWARNING!Do not allow children to have access to
the trunk, either by climbing into the
trunk from outside, or through the
inside of the vehicle. Always close the
trunk lid when your vehicle is unat-
tended. Once in the trunk, young chil-
dren may not be able to escape, even if
they entered through the rear seat. If
trapped in the trunk, children can die
from suffocation or heat stroke.

the event of an individual being
locked inside the trunk, the trunk can
be simply opened by pulling on the
glow-in-the-dark handle attached to
the trunk latching mechanism.

Advanced Front Air Bags for driver and front passenger
Supplemental Driver Side Knee Air Bag Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflat-
able Curtains (SABIC) for the
