VEHICLE SECURITY
ALARM
The Vehicle Security Alarm monitors
the doors, and trunk for unauthorized
entry and ignition switch for unau-
thorized operation.
While the Vehicle Security Alarm is
armed, interior switches for door
locks and decklid release are disabled.
If something triggers the alarm, the
Vehicle Security Alarm will sound the
horn intermittently, flash the head-
lights, the park lights, and the tail-
lights, and flash the Vehicle Security
Light in the cluster.
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 three minutes, turn off
all of the visual signals after 15 min-
utes, and then the Vehicle Security
Alarm will rearm itself.TO ARM THE SYSTEM
1. Remove the keys from the ignition
switch and exit the vehicle.
2. Lock the doors by pressing the
power door lock switch or the LOCK
button on the Remote Keyless Entry
(RKE) transmitter.
NOTE: The Vehicle Security
Alarm will not arm if you lock the
doors with the manual door lock
plungers.
3. Close all doors. The Vehicle Secu-
rity Light in the instrument cluster
will flash rapidly for 16 seconds. This
shows that the Vehicle Security Alarm
is arming. After 16 seconds, the Ve-
hicle Security Light will flash slowly.
This shows that the Vehicle Security
Alarm is fully armed.
NOTE:
During the 16–second arming
period, if a door is opened or the
ignition switch is turned to ON/
RUN, the Vehicle Security Alarm
will automatically disarm.
While the Vehicle Security Alarm
is armed, interior switches for
door locks and decklid release are
disabled.TO DISARM THE SYSTEM
Either press the UNLOCK button on
the RKE transmitter or insert a valid
Sentry Key® into the ignition switch
lock cylinder and turn the key to the
ON/RUN or START position.
NOTE:
The driver's door key cylinder
and the trunk button on the RKE
transmitter cannot arm or dis-
arm the Vehicle Security Alarm.
The Vehicle Security Alarm re-
mains armed during trunk entry.
Pressing the trunk button will not
disarm the Vehicle Security
Alarm. If someone enters the ve-
hicle through the trunk and opens
any door, the alarm will sound.When the Vehicle Security Alarm
is armed, the interior power door
lock switches will not unlock the
doors.

Air Bag Deployment Sensors
And ControlsOccupant Restraint Controller
(ORC)TheORC is part of a regulated safety
system required for this vehicle.
The ORC determines if deployment of
the front and/or side air bags in a
frontal or side collision is required.
Based on the impact sensor's signals,
a central electronic ORC deploys the
Advanced Front Air Bags, Supple-
mental Seat-Mounted Side Air Bags
(SAB), and front seat belt pretension-
ers, as required, depending on several
factors, including the severity and
type of impact.
Advanced Front Air Bags are designed
to provide additional protection by
supplementing the seat belts in cer-
tain frontal collisions depending on
several factors, including the severity
and type of collision. Advanced Front
Air Bags are not expected to reduce
the risk of injury in rear, side, or roll-
over collisions.
The Advanced Front Air Bags will not
deploy in all frontal collisions, includ-
ing some that may produce substantial
vehicle damage — for example, some
pole collisions, truck underrides, and
angle offset collisions. On the other
hand, depending on the type and loca-
tion of impact, Advanced Front Air
Bags may deploy in crashes with little
vehicle front-end damage but that
produce a severe initial deceleration.The side air bags will not deploy in all
side collisions. Side air bag deploy-
ment will depend on the severity and
type of collision.
Because air bag sensors measure ve-
hicle deceleration over time, vehicle
speed and damage by themselves are
not good indicators of whether or not
an air bag should have deployed.
Seat belts are necessary for your pro-
tection in all collisions, and also are
needed to help keep you in position,
away from an inflating air bag.
The ORC monitors the readiness of
the electronic parts of the air bag sys-
tem whenever the ignition switch is in
the START or ON/RUN position. If the key is in the OFF position, in the
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
deployment.
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.

POWER CONVERTIBLE
TOP USAGE PRECAUTIONS
NOTE:
The convertible top will not op-erate unless the vehicle is sta-
tionary, the cargo shield is posi-
tioned correctly, and the trunk
lid is closed and latched. In ad-
dition, the system is prohibited
from opening when the ambient
temperature is below 18°C.
The top system is prohibited from closing when the ambient
temperature is below 40°C.
Do not attempt to lower the top when frost, ice, or snow may be
present, this could cause dam-
age or prevent the top from stow-
ing completely.
The Power Top Control Module (PTCM) monitors and controls
lowering and raising of the top.
A series of micro-switches verify
that operations are complete be-
fore allowing the next stage of
lowering or raising operation. Opening and closing the top
consecutively without the engine
running may run the battery
down.
If a fluttering noise is heard from the rear seat belts while driving
with the top down, safely bring
the vehicle to a stop and buckle
the rear seat belts over the empty
seats. This will keep tension on
the seat belts and remove the
fluttering condition.
CAUTION!
Correctly position the cargoshield in the trunk before stowing
the top. Doing so closes a switch
that allows top operation (stow-
ing) to proceed. If the switch is
not closed, a warning message
displays in the instrument cluster
to notify the driver.
Always place items carefully into the trunk.
Do not push items too far into the trunk, particularly when the top
is retracted into its stowage area
in the trunk.
(Continued)
CAUTION!(Continued)
Do not use the area on top of the tonneau cover for storage.
Failure to follow these cautions can
cause damage to the convertible top
components, trunk contents, cargo
shield, and the vehicle interior.CAUTION!
Before operating the power top:
Always check on top of the ton- neau cover area to be sure that it
is clear of debris or other items.
Make sure the ambient tempera- ture is above 18°C.
Never attempt to lower a frozen convertible top. Wait until the top
is thawed before lowering it into
the stowage compartment. Low-
ering a cloth top at temperatures
below 0°C should be avoided.
Make sure the convertible top is dry
before lowering it into the stowage
compartment. Lowering the top
when damp, wet, or dirty can cause
stains, mildew, and damage to the
inside of your vehicle.
(Continued)

WARNING!(Continued)
When using the power top switch on the instrument panel, if poten-
tial danger exists while raising the
top, release the switch immedi-
ately to interrupt the operation.
Only drive the vehicle with the convertible top completely closed
and latched or fully lowered into
its stowage compartment.
Do not operate the power top when the vehicle is in motion.
CARGO SHIELD
The cargo shield is located in the
trunk. Before lowering the convertible
top, you must unfold the cargo shield
and seat the tabs at each end of the
cargo shield in the V slots in the trunk
liner. Doing so closes a switch that
allows top operation. If the switch is
not closed, a warning message dis-
plays in the instrument cluster to no-
tify the driver. Positioning The Cargo Shield For
Top Operation
Pull the cargo shield toward you to
begin unfolding the panels. Grasp the
handle in the center of the outermost
(top) panel and raise the cargo shield.
Then, align and seat the tabs at each
end of the cargo shield in the V slots in
the trunk liner as shown in the illus-
tration.
CAUTION!
Do not place items on top of the
cargo shield. Items placed on cargo
protector will interfere with the top
during operation and cause exces-
sive damage to the top and cargo
shield.
Positioning The Cargo Shield For
Cargo Storage
To maximize the storage space in the
trunk, the cargo shield can be stowed
in the forward portion of the trunk.
To stow the cargo shield, grasp the
handle of the upright panel of the
cargo shield, lifting the pins out of the
V slots in the trunk trim. Continue
folding the upright panel forward
onto the horizontal panel, then grasp
both panels and lift them to the for-
ward, upright position in the trunk.
NOTE: The convertible top will
NOT operate with the cargo shield
in the stowed position.
