INTERIOR LUGGAGE COMPARTMENT RELEASE
WARNING:Keep vehicle doors and luggage compartment locked
and keep keys and remote transmitters out of a child’s reach.
Unsupervised children could lock themselves in the trunk and risk
injury. Children should be taught not to play in vehicles.
WARNING:Do not leave children, unreliable adults, or animals
unattended in the vehicle. On hot days, the temperature in the
trunk or vehicle interior can rise very quickly. Exposure of people or
animals to these high temperatures for even a short time can cause
death or serious heat-related injuries, including brain damage. Small
children are particularly at risk.
Your vehicle is equipped with a release handle that provides a means of
escape for children and adults if they become locked inside the luggage
compartment.
Adults should familiarize themselves with the operation and location of
the release handle.
The handle is located inside the
luggage compartment either on the
luggage compartment door (lid) or
near the tail lamps. It is composed
of a material that will glow for hours
in darkness following brief exposure
to ambient light.
Pull the handle and push up on the
luggage compartment door (lid) to
open from within the luggage
compartment.

ANTI–THEFT ALARM (IF EQUIPPED)
The active anti-theft system is designed to warn you in the event of

unwanted towing of the vehicle.
You can choose what is monitored by arming the system in different
ways.
Partial Monitor Mode
To monitor the following:
•Doors
•Hood
•Trunk
Lock the vehicle using the key in the driver door key cylinder.

Full Monitor Mode
To monitor the following:
•Doors
•Hood
•Trunk
•Movement inside the vehicle (for convertible models, top must be fully
closed)
•Change in vehicle inclination (such as unwanted towing)
Lock the vehicle using the remote control or the power door lock control
with the accompanying door open and then close all doors.
Note:Do not choose full monitor mode if movement within the vehicle is
likely to occur or when the vehicle is in transport.
Note:For proper operation of the interior motion detection system,
ensure all windows are closed prior to arming the system. This will help
prevent accidental alarm activation due to external influences and ensure
proper interior motion detection. Additionally, the interior motion sensing
system will not arm if either door or the trunk is ajar.
If there is any potential perimeter anti-theft problem with your vehicle,
ensure all integrated keyhead transmitters are brought to the authorized
dealer to aid in troubleshooting.
Arming the System
When armed, the active anti-theft system is designed to notify you of an
unauthorized entry. When unauthorized entry or towing occurs, the
system will flash the turn signal lamps and interior lamps and will sound
the horn.
The system is ready to arm whenever the key is out of the ignition. Any
of the following actions will arm the alarm system:
•Press the lock button on the remote control.
•Lock all doors using the interior power lock switch while the driver or
passenger door is open and then becomes closed.
•Lock the driver door with the key in the key lock cylinder (this will
not, however, arm the interior motion or vehicle incline sensing
systems).
There is a 20 second countdown when any of the above actions occur
before the vehicle becomes armed.
