Keyless drive keyhole cover
The driver's door on vehicles equipped with
keyless drive can be locked or unlocked with
the remote key's detachable key blade if nec-
essary, see page 124 for information on remov-
ing the key blade from the remote key. To
access the keyhole in the driver's door:
•Pry off the keyhole cover by inserting the
key blade or a small screwdriver in the hole
on the underside of the cover (indicated by
the arrow in the inset illustration).
•Insert the key blade as far as possible in the
driver's door lock. Turn the key blade
clockwise approximately one-quarter turnto unlock the driver's door only. This will
trigger the alarm.
•To disable the alarm: Press the Unlock
button on the keyless drive remote key. If
the batteries in the remote are weak,
remove the keyless drive start control from
the ignition switch by pressing the catch
(see the illustration on page 149) and pull-
ing the control out of the ignition switch.
Insert the ignition key section of a keyless
drive remote key in the ignition switch.
Keyless drive remote key and driver's
seat memory
This function is only available on vehicles
equipped with the optional power driver's seat.
•When you leave the car with a keyless drive
remote key in your possession and lock
any door, the position of the driver's seat
will be stored in the seat's memory.
•The next time a door is opened by a person
with the same remote key in his/her pos-
session, the driver's seat will automatically
move to the position that it was in when the
door was most recently locked.
NOTE
If several people carrying keyless drive
remote keys approach the vehicle at the
same time, the driver's seat will assume the
position it was in for the person who opens
a door first.
Keyless drive information messagesIf anyone leaves the vehicle with the only key-
less drive remote key in his or her possession
while the ignition is switched on, a message will
be shown in the information display and an
audible signal will sound.
NOTE
This message will only be displayed if the
start control is in position I or II.
The message will be erased from the display
and the audible signal will stop when the
remote key has been returned to the vehicle
and one of the following has occurred:
•A door has been opened and closed
•The start control has been turned to posi-
tion 0
•The READ button (see page 61 for the
location of this button) has been pressed.

135 The alarm system
The alarm is automatically armed whenever the
car is locked with the remote key, or if a front
lock button is depressed.
When armed, the alarm continuously monitors
a number of points on the car. The following
conditions will trigger the alarm:
•The hood is forced open.
•The trunk is forced open.
•A door is forced open.
•The ignition switch is tampered with.
•An attempt is made to start the car with a
non-approved key (a key not coded to the
car's ignition).
•If there is movement in the passenger com-
partment (if the car is equipped with the
optional movement sensor).
•The car is lifted or towed (if the car is equip-
ped with the optional inclination sensor).
•The battery is disconnected (while the
alarm is armed).
•The siren is disconnected when the alarm
is disarmed.
•The alarm system functions in the same
way, regardless of whether the power
retractable hard top is raised or lowered.

•The indicator light flashes every two sec-
onds – the alarm is armed
•The indicator light flashes rapidly before
the ignition is switched on – the alarm has

NOTE
•Immobilizer: If two of the keys to your
vehicle are close together, e.g., on the
same key ring when you try to start the
vehicle, this could cause interference in
the immobilizer system and result in the
vehicle not starting. If this should occur,
remove one of the keys from the key
ring before trying to start the vehicle
again.
•Keylock: The automatic transmission
has a keylock system. When the engine
is switched off, the gear selector must
be in the Park (P) position before the key
can be removed from the ignition
switch
1.
•When starting in cold weather, an auto-
matic transmission may shift up at
slightly higher engine speeds than nor-
mal until the automatic transmission
fluid reaches normal operating tem-
perature.
•Do not race a cold engine immediately
after starting. Oil flow may not reach
some lubrication points fast enough to
prevent engine damage.
WARNING
•Always place the gear selector in Park
(P) and apply the parking brake before
leaving the vehicle. Never leave the
vehicle unattended with the engine run-
ning.
•Always open garage doors fully before
starting the engine inside a garage to
ensure adequate ventilation. The
exhaust gases contain carbon monox-
ide, which is invisible and odorless but
very poisonous.
CAUTION
Automatic transmission: The engine
should be idling when you move the gear
selector. Never accelerate until after you
feel the transmission engage! Accelerating
immediately after selecting a gear will cause
harsh engagement and premature trans-
mission wear. Selecting P or N when idling
at a standstill for prolonged periods of time
will help prevent overheating of the auto-
matic transmission fluid.
1The optional keyless drive start control does not need to be removed from the ignition switch.
