TABLE OF CONTENTS

SECURITY ALARM
To Arm:
• Lock the door using either the power door lock switch (one door must be open) or the LOCKbutton on the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter (doors can be open or closed), and
close all doors.
NOTE:
The Vehicle Security Alarm will not arm if you lock the doors with the manual door lock plungers.
• The Vehicle Security Light in the instrument cluster will flash for 16 seconds. This shows that the Vehicle Security Alarm is arming. During this period, if a door is opened, the ignition is
cycled to ON/RUN, or the power door locks are unlocked in any manner, the Vehicle Security
Alarm will automatically disarm.
NOTE:
• During the 16-second arming period, if a door is opened or the ignition is cycled to ON/RUN, the Vehicle Security Alarm will automatically disarm.
• Once armed, the Vehicle Security Alarm disables the unlock switch on the driver door trim panel and passenger door trim panel.
To Disarm The System:
• Press the Key Fob UNLOCK button or cycle the ignition to the ON/START position.
• The Vehicle Security Alarm is designed to protect your vehicle; however, you can createconditions where the Vehicle Security Alarm will give you a false alarm. If one of the previously
described arming sequences has occurred, the Vehicle Security Alarm will arm regardless 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 disconnected the Vehicle Security Alarm will remain armed when the battery is reconnected. The exterior lights will
flash, and the horn will sound. If this occurs, disarm the Vehicle Security Alarm.
SEAT BELT
• Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat and using a seat belt properly.
• Position the lap belt across your thighs, below your abdomen. To remove slack in the lapportion, pull up a bit on the shoulder belt. To loosen the lap belt if it is too tight, tilt the latch
plate and pull on the lap belt. A snug belt reduces the risk of sliding under the belt in a collision.
• Position the shoulder belt on your chest so that it is comfortable and not resting on your neck. The retractor will withdraw any slack in the belt.
• A shoulder belt placed behind you will not protect you from injury during a collision. You are more likely to hit your head in a collision if you do not wear your shoulder belt. The lap and
shoulder belt are meant to be used together.

POWER OUTLETS
• There are two 12 Volt power outlets on thisvehicle.
• The instrument panel power outlet, located below the climate control knobs, has power
available only when the ignition is ON. This
power outlet will also operate a conventional
cigar lighter unit.
• There is also a power outlet located on the inside of the center console. This power out-
let is powered directly from the battery
(power available at all times). Items plugged
into this power outlet may discharge the
battery and/or prevent the engine from starting.
NOTE:
• Do not exceed the maximum power of 160 Watts (13 Amps) at 12 Volts. If the 160 Watt (13 Amp) power rating is exceeded, the fuse protecting the system will need to be replaced.
• Power outlets are designed for accessory plugs only. Do not insert any other object in the power outlet as this will damage the outlet and blow the fuse. Improper use of the power outlet
can cause damage not covered by your new vehicle warranty.

2. Turn off the heater, radio, and all unneces- sary electrical accessories.
3. Remove the protective cover over the re- mote positive (+)battery post. To remove
the cover, press the locking tab and pull
upward on the cover.
4. If using another vehicle to jump-start the battery, park the vehicle within the jumper
cables reach, set the parking brake and
make sure the ignition is OFF.
Jump-Starting Procedure
1. Connect the positive (+)end of the jumper cable to the remote positive (+)post of the
discharged vehicle.
2. Connect the opposite end of the positive (+)jumper cable to the positive (+)post of the
booster battery.
3. Connect the negative end (-)of the jumper cable to the negative (-)post of the booster
battery.
4. Connect the opposite end of the negative (-)jumper cable to the remote negative (-)post of
the vehicle with the discharged battery.
5. Start the engine in the vehicle that has the booster battery, let the engine idle a few minutes, and then start the engine in the vehicle with the discharged battery.
Once the engine is started, remove the jumper cables in the reverse sequence:
1. Disconnect the negative (-)jumper cable from the remote negative (-)post of the vehicle with
the discharged battery.
2. Disconnect the negative end (-)of the jumper cable from the negative (-)post of the booster

3. Disconnect the opposite end of the positive(+)jumper cable from the positive (+)post of the
booster battery.
4. Disconnect the positive (+)end of the jumper cable from the remote positive (+)post of the
discharged vehicle.
5. Reinstall the protective cover over the remote positive (+)battery post of the discharged
vehicle.
NOTE:
If frequent jump-starting is required to start your vehicle you should have the battery and
charging system inspected at your authorized dealer.
CAUTION!
• Do not use a portable battery booster pack or any other booster source with a system voltage greater than 12 Volts or damage to the battery, starter motor, alternator or
electrical system may occur.
• Failure to follow these procedures could result in damage to the charging system of the booster vehicle or the discharged vehicle.
• Accessories that can be plugged into the vehicle power outlets draw power from the vehicle’s battery, even when not in use (e.g., cellular phones, etc.). Eventually, if plugged in
long enough, the vehicle’s battery discharges sufficiently to degrade battery life and/or
prevent the engine from starting.
WARNING!
• When temperatures are below the freezing point, electrolyte in a discharged battery mayfreeze. Do not attempt jump-starting because the battery could rupture or explode and
cause personal injury. Battery temperature must be brought above the freezing point
before attempting a jump-start.
• Take care to avoid the radiator cooling fan whenever the hood is raised. It can start anytime the ignition switch is on. You can be injured by moving fan blades.
• Remove any metal jewelry, such as watch bands or bracelets, that might make an inadver-
tent electrical contact. You could be severely injured.
• Batteries contain sulfuric acid that can burn your skin or eyes and generate hydrogen gas
which is flammable and explosive. Keep open flames or sparks away from the battery.
• Do not allow vehicles to touch each other as this could establish a ground connection and
personal injury could result.
• Failure to follow this procedure could result in personal injury or property damage due to
battery explosion.
• Do not connect the cable to the negative post (-) of the discharged battery. The resulting electrical spark could cause the battery to explode and could result in personal injury.
