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.
To Arm:

closed), and close all doors.
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.

CHILD RESTRAINTS
Children 12 years or younger should ride properly buckled up in a rear seat, if available.
According to crash statistics, children are safer when properly restrained in the rear seats
rather than in the front.
Every state in the United States and all Canadian provinces require that small children
ride in proper restraint systems. This is the law, and you can be prosecuted for ignoring it.
