Note:If any door or the luggage compartment is open, or if the hood is
open on vehicles with an anti-theft alarm or remote start, the horn
sounds twice and the lamps will not flash.
Activating intelligent access
The intelligent access key must be within 3 feet (1 meter) of your
vehicle.
At the front doors
Pull a front exterior door handle. The door will unlock and can be
opened.
Press and hold the door handle lock
sensor to lock your vehicle. To avoid
unlocking the door inadvertently, be
sure to only touch the lock sensor
and not other areas of the door
handle.
Note:Keep the door handle surface clean to avoid issues with operation.
At the liftgate
Press the button hidden near the license plate.
Smart Unlocks
The smart unlock feature is intended to prevent you from unintentionally
locking your intelligent access key inside your vehicle’s passenger
compartment or rear cargo area.
When you lock your vehicle using the driver or passenger power door
lock control (with the door open, transmission is inPand ignition off),
after you close the door the vehicle will search for an intelligent access
key in the passenger compartment. If an intelligent access key is found
inside your vehicle, all of the doors will immediately unlock and the horn
will chirp, indicating that the intelligent access key is inside.
In order to override the smart unlock feature and intentionally lock the
intelligent access key inside your vehicle, you can lock your vehicle after
all doors are closed by using the keyless entry keypad, pressing the lock
button on another intelligent access key or touching the locking area on
the handle with another intelligent access key in your hand. Refer to
SecuriCode™ Keyless Entry Keypadin this chapter for more
information on keyless entry keypad operation.

unlock, making sure you end in unlock) and that your vehicle starts with
new intelligent access key.
ANTI-THEFT ALARM
The system will warn you of unauthorized entry to your vehicle.
The turn signal lamps will flash and sound the horn up to a total of 10
times when:
•any door, the hood or the luggage compartment is opened without
using the keypad, the remote control or the intelligent access
transmitter
•the ignition is turned on with an invalid key.
Take all keys and remote controls to an authorized dealer if there is any
potential alarm problem with your vehicle.
Arming the Alarm
The system is ready to arm whenever the ignition is off. Lock the vehicle
to arm the alarm.
The turn signal lamps will flash once after locking the vehicle to indicate
the alarm is in the pre-armed mode. It will become fully armed in
20 seconds.
Disarming the Alarm
To disarm the alarm, do any of the following:
•Press the power door unlock button within the 20-second pre-armed
mode will.
•Press the unlock button on the remote control.
•Unlock the doors with the keyless entry pad.
•Enter the vehicle using intelligent access.
•Press the panic button on the remote control. The alarm system will
still be armed, but this shuts off the horn and turn lamps when the
alarm is sounding.
Note:If the driver door is unlocked with a key, a tone will sound when
you open the door and a message will appear in the information display.
You will have 12 seconds to disarm the alarm using any of the actions
above, otherwise the alarm will trigger.

•(1) 8 feet (2.4 meters)
•(2) Center height of lamp to
ground
•(3) 25 feet (7.6 meters)
•(4) Horizontal reference line
2. Measure the height of the headlamp projector (cross hair mark on
inner lens) center from the ground and mark an 8 foot (2.4 meter)
horizontal reference line on the vertical wall or screen at this height
(a piece of masking tape works well).
3. Turn on the headlamps to illuminate the wall or screen and open the
hood.
To see a clearer light pattern for adjusting, you may want to block the
light from one headlamp while adjusting the other.
4. On the wall or screen you will
observe a light pattern with a
distinct horizontal edge towards
the right. If this edge is not at the
horizontal reference line, the beam
will need to be adjusted so the
edge is at the same height as the
horizontal reference line.
5. Locate the vertical adjuster on
each headlamp. Using a Phillips #2
screwdriver, turn the adjuster either
clockwise or counterclockwise in
order to adjust the vertical aim of
the headlamp. The horizontal edge
of the brighter light should touch
the horizontal reference line. Close
the hood and turn off the lamps.
HORIZONTAL AIM IS NOT REQUIRED FOR THIS VEHICLE AND IS
NON-ADJUSTABLE.
