VEHICLE SECURITY ALARM
The Vehicle Security Alarm monitors the vehicle doors for unauthorized entry and
the Keyless Enter-N-Go™ START/STOP button for unauthorized operation. While
the Vehicle Security Alarm is armed, interior switches for door locks and decklid
release are disabled. If something triggers the alarm, the Vehicle Security Alarm will
provide the following audible and visible signals: the horn will pulse, the park lamps
and/or turn signals will flash, and the Vehicle Security Light in the instrument cluster
will flash.
To Arm:
Push the Key Fob LOCK button.
To Disarm The System:
Push the Key Fob UNLOCK button or cycle the ignition to the ON/RUN position.
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 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 ex-
terior lights will flash, and the horn will sound. If this occurs, disarm the Vehicle Se-
curity 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 SYSTEMS
Lap/Shoulder Belts
• All seating positions in your vehicle are equipped with lap/shoulder belts.
• Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat and using a seat belt properly.
• Position the lap belt so that it is snug and lies low across your hips, below your
abdomen. To remove slack in the lap belt portion, pull up 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 seat belt reduces the risk of sliding under the seat belt in a collision.
• Position the shoulder belt across the shoulder and chest with minimal, if any slack
so that it is comfortable and not resting on your neck. The retractor will withdraw
any slack in the shoulder belt.

WARNING!
• Side Air Bags need room to inflate. Do not lean against the door or window.
Sit upright in the center of the seat.
• Being too close to the Side Air Bags during deployment could cause you to
be severely injured or killed.
• Relying on the Side Air Bags alone could lead to more severe injuries in a
collision. The Side Air Bags work with your seat belt to restrain you properly.
In some collisions, Side Air Bags won’t deploy at all. Always wear your seat
belt even though you have Side Air Bags.
• This vehicle is equipped with left and right Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflat-
able Curtains (SABICs). Do not stack luggage or other cargo up high enough
to block the deployment of the SABICs. The trim covering above the side
windows where the SABIC and its deployment path are located should re-
main free from any obstructions.
• This vehicle is equipped with SABICs. In order for the SABICs to work as
intended, do not install any accessory items in your vehicle which could alter
the roof. Do not add an aftermarket sunroof to your vehicle. Do not add roof
racks that require permanent attachments (bolts or screws) for installation on
the vehicle roof. Do not drill into the roof of the vehicle for any reason.
• Do not use accessory seat covers or place objects between you and the
Side Air Bags; the performance could be adversely affected and/or objects
could be pushed into you, causing serious injury.
CHILD RESTRAINTS
Children 12 years or younger should ride properly buckled up in a rear seat, if avail-
able. 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 chil-
dren ride in proper restraint systems. This is the law, and you can be prosecuted for
ignoring it.
NOTE:
• For additional information, refer to www.Seatcheck.org or call 1-866-
SEATCHECK.
• Canadian residents should refer to Transport Canada’s website for additional in-
formation:
