KEY FOB
This feature allows the driver to operate the
ignition switch with the push of a button, as
long as the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) trans-
mitter is in the passenger compartment.
The Keyless Ignition Node (KIN) has four op-
erating positions, three of which are labeled
and will illuminate when in position. The three
positions are OFF, ACC, and ON/RUN. The
fourth position is START, during start, RUN
will illuminate.
NOTE:
In case the ignition switch does not change with
the push of a button, the RKE transmitter (Key
Fob) may have a low or dead battery. In this
situation a back up method can be used to
operate the ignition switch. Put the nose side
(side opposite of the emergency key) of the
Key Fob against the ENGINE START/STOP
button and push to operate the ignition switch.
Locking And Unlocking The Doors
Push and release the LOCK button on the RKE
transmitter to lock all doors. The turn signal lights will flash and the horn will chirp to acknowledge
the signal.
Push and release the UNLOCK button on the RKE transmitter once to unlock the driver's door
or twice within five seconds to unlock all doors. The turn signal lights will flash to acknowledge the
unlock signal. The illuminated entry system will also turn on.
1st Press Of Key Fob Unlocks
This feature lets you program the system to unlock either the driver's door or all doors on the first
push of the UNLOCK button on the RKE transmitter. To change the current setting, refer to your
Owner's Manual on the DVD for further information.
Opening The Trunk
• Push the Trunk Release button on the transmitter two times within five seconds to open thetrunk.

Panic Alarm
• To turn the Panic Alarm feature ON or OFF, push and hold the PANIC button on the RKEtransmitter for at least one second and release. When the Panic Alarm is on, the headlights and
park lights will flash, the horn will pulse on and off and the interior lights will turn on.
• The Panic Alarm will stay on for three minutes unless you turn it off by pushing the PANIC button a second time or if the vehicle speed is 5 mph (8 km/h) or greater.
NOTE:
When you turn off the Panic Alarm by pushing the PANIC button a second time, you may have
to move closer to the vehicle due to the radio frequency noises of the system.
WARNING!
• When leaving the vehicle, always make sure the ignition is in the OFF position, remove the key fob from the vehicle, and lock your vehicle.
• Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or with access to an unlocked vehicle. Allowing
children to be in a vehicle unattended is dangerous for a number of reasons. A child or
others could be seriously or fatally injured. Children should be warned not to touch the
parking brake, brake pedal or the transmission gear selector.
• Do not leave the Key Fob in or near the vehicle (or in a location accessible to children). A
child could operate power windows, other controls, or move the vehicle.
REMOTE START
• Push the REMOTE START buttonx2on the Key Fob twice within five seconds. Pushing
the REMOTE START button a third time shuts the engine off.
• To drive the vehicle, push the UNLOCK button and cycle the ignition to the ON/RUN position.
With Remote Start, the engine will only run for 15 minutes (timeout) unless the ignition is cycled
to the ON/RUN position.
The vehicle must be cycled to the ON/RUN position after two consecutive timeouts.
WARNING!
• Do not start or run an engine in a closed garage or confined area. Exhaust gas contains Carbon Monoxide (CO) which is odorless and colorless. Carbon Monoxide is poisonous
and can cause you or others to be severely injured or killed when inhaled.
• Keep Key Fob transmitters away from children. Operation of the Remote Start System,
windows, door locks or other controls could cause you and others to be severely injured or
killed.

Fob) may have a low or dead battery. In this
situation a back up method can be used to
operate the ignition switch. Put the nose side of
the Key Fob (side opposite of the Emergency
Key) against the ENGINE START/STOP but-
ton and push to operate the ignition switch.

Accessory Positions

• The ORC turns on the Air Bag Warning Light in the instrument panel for approximately fourto eight seconds for a self-check when the ignition switch is first turned to the ON/RUN
position. After the self-check, the Air Bag Warning Light will turn off. If the ORC detects a
malfunction in any part of the system, it turns on the Air Bag Warning Light, either momen-
tarily or continuously. A single chime will sound to alert you if the light comes on again after
initial startup.
• The ORC monitors the readiness of the electronic parts of the air bag system whenever the ignition switch is in the START or ON/RUN position. If the ignition switch is in the OFF
position or in the ACC position, the air bag system is not on and the air bags will not inflate.
• If the Air Bag Warning Light in the instrument panel is not on during the four to eight seconds when the ignition switch is first turned to the ON/RUN position, stays on, or turns on while
driving, have the vehicle serviced by an authorized service center immediately.
NOTE:
If the speedometer, tachometer, or any engine related gauges are not working, the Occupant
Restraint Controller (ORC) may also be disabled. In this condition the air bags may not be ready
to inflate for your protection. Have an authorized dealer service the air bag system immediately.
• After any collision, the vehicle should be taken to an authorized dealer immediately.
• Do not drive your vehicle after the air bags have deployed. If you are involved in another
collision, the air bags will not be in place to protect you.
• If it is necessary to modify the air bag system for persons with disabilities, contact your authorized dealer.
• Refer to the Owner's Manual on the DVD for further details regarding the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS).
Occupant Classification System
This vehicle is equipped with a right front passenger Occupant Classification System (“OCS”)
that is designed to provide Passenger Advanced Front Air Bag output appropriate to the
occupant’s seated weight input, as determined by the OCS.
The Occupant Classification System (OCS) consists of the following:
• Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC)
• Occupant Classification Module (OCM) and Sensor located in the front passenger seat
• Air Bag Warning Light
The OCS will NOT prevent deployment of the Passenger Advanced Front Air Bag. The OCS may
reduce the inflation rate of the Passenger Advanced Front Air Bag if the OCS estimates that:
• The front passenger seat is unoccupied or has very light objects on it; or
• The front passenger seat is occupied by a small passenger, including a child; or
• The front passenger seat is occupied by a rear-facing child restraint; or
• The front passenger is not properly seated or his or her weight is taken off of the seat for aperiod of time.

ENGINE BREAK-IN RECOMMENDATIONS
A long break-in period is not required for the engine and drivetrain (transmission and axle) in your
vehicle.
Drive moderately during the first 300 miles (500 km). After the initial 60 miles (100 km), speeds
up to 50 or 55 mph (80 or 90 km/h) are desirable.
While cruising, brief full-throttle acceleration within the limits of local traffic laws contributes to a
good break-in. Wide-open throttle acceleration in low gear can be detrimental and should be
avoided.
The engine oil installed in the engine at the factory is a high-quality energy conserving type
lubricant. Oil changes should be consistent with anticipated climate conditions under which
vehicle operations will occur. For the recommended viscosity and quality grades, refer to
“Maintaining Your Vehicle.”
NOTE:
A new engine may consume some oil during its first few thousand miles (kilometers) of opera-
tion. This should be considered a normal part of the break-in and not interpreted as an indica-
tion of an engine problem or malfunction.
CAUTION!
Never use Non-Detergent Oil or Straight Mineral Oil in the engine or damage may result.
TURN SIGNAL/HIGH BEAM LEVER
Turn Signals/Lane Change Assist
Tap the lever up or down once and the turn
signal (right or left) will flash three times and
automatically turn off.
Flash To Pass
• Pull the lever toward you to activate the highbeams. The high beams will remain on until
the lever is released.
High Beam Operation
• Push the lever forward to activate the highbeams.
NOTE:
For safe driving, turn off the high beams when
oncoming traffic is present to prevent head-
light glare and as a courtesy to other motorists.
