VEHICLE SECURITY ALARM
This Vehicle Security Alarm monitors the doors, liftgate, and ignition switch for unauthor-
ized operation.
When the alarm is activated, the interior switches for door locks are disabled.The Vehicle
Security Alarm provides both audio and visual signals repeatedly for three minutes.If the
disturbance is still present (driver's door, passenger door, other doors, ignition) after three
minutes, the parking lights and tail lights will flash for an additional 15 minutes.

The Vehicle Security Alarm is designed to protect your vehicle; however, you can create
conditions where the Vehicle Security Alarm will give you a false alarm.If one of the pre-
viously 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 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.
POWER DOOR LOCKS
•The vehicles power door locks are activated by moving the inside door handles.
•Push or pull the driver’s door handle to lock or unlock the doors and liftgate when
the doors are closed.
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
lap portion, 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.
A belt that is too loose will not protect you properly.In a sudden stop you could move
too far forward, increasing the possibility of injury.Wear your seat belt snugly.
