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 serious injury or death when inhaled.
•Keep Key Fob transmitters away from children. Operation of the Remote Start
System, windows, door locks or other controls could cause serious injury or death.
VEHICLE SECURITY ALARM
The Vehicle Security Alarm monitors the vehicle doors for unauthorized entry and the
ENGINE 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 A r m :
Lock the door using either the power door lock switch (one door must be open) or the
LOCK button on the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter (doors can be open or
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.
NOTE:
• The Vehicle Security Alarm will not arm if you lock the doors with the manual door
lock plungers.
• Once armed, the Vehicle Security Alarm disables the unlock switch on the driver
door trim panel and passenger door trim panel.
To D i s a r m T h e S y s t e m :
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.

ELECTRONIC SPEED CONTROL
The Electronic Speed Control switches are located on the steering wheel.
Cruise ON/OFF
• Push the ON/OFF button to activate
the Speed Control.
NOTE:
CRUISEwill appear on the instru-
ment cluster to indicate the Speed Con-
trol is on.
• Push the ON/OFF button a second
time to turn the system off.
SET
With the Speed Control on, push and
release the SET – button to set a desired
speed.
Accel/Decel
To Increase Speed
• When the Electronic Speed Control is
set, you can increase speed by pushing
the RES+button.
The drivers preferred units can be selected through the instrument panel settings if
equipped. Refer to “ Understanding Your Instrument Panel” on the Owners Manual
DVD for more information. The speed increment shown is dependant on the chosen
speed unit of U.S. (mph) or Metric (km/h):
U.S. Speed (mph)
• Pushing the RES+button once will result in a 1 mph increase in set speed. Each
subsequent tap of the button results in an increase of 1 mph.
• If the button is continually pushed, the set speed will continue to increase until
the button is released, then the new set speed will be established.
Metric Speed (km/h)
• Pushing the RES+button once will result in a 1 km/h increase in set speed. Each
subsequent tap of the button results in an increase of 1 km/h.
• If the button is continually pushed, the set speed will continue to increase until
the button is released, then the new set speed will be established.

CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE AUTOMATIC
TRANSMISSION (CVT)
While conventional automatic transmissions typically have 4, 5 or 6 speeds, the
Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) has an infinite number of speeds. This allows
it to adjust to exactly the right ratio to optimize performance and fuel economy.
Under hard acceleration, you may hear more engine noise than with a conventional
transmission. The CVT may also occasionally feel like it is “shifting.” These
characteristics are perfectly normal and contribute to the CVT's efficiency.
SIX-SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
This electronically-controlled transmission provides a precise shift schedule. The
transmission electronics are self-calibrating; therefore, the first few shifts on a new
vehicle may be somewhat abrupt. This is a normal condition, and precision shifts will
develop within a few hundred miles (kilometers).
The transmission shift lever has only PARK, REVERSE, NEUTRAL, and DRIVE shift
positions. Manual shifts can be made using the Autostick®shift control. Moving the shift
lever to the left or right (-/+) while in the DRIVE position will manually select the
transmission gear, and will display the current gear in the instrument cluster as 6, 5, 4,
3, 2, 1.
Refer to your Owner’s Manual on the DVD for further information.

ELECTRONIC VEHICLE INFORMATION CENTER
(EVIC)
The EVIC features a driver interactive display that is located in the instrument
cluster. Pushing the controls on the steering wheel allows the driver to select vehicle
information and Personal Settings. For additional information, refer to “Program-
mable Features” in this guide.
• Push theMENUbutton to scroll
through the main menus (Fuel
Economy, Warnings, Timer, Units, Sys-
tem, Personal Settings) or to exit sub-
menus.
• Push the DOWN Arrowbutton to
scroll downward through the sub-
menus.
• Push the COMPASSbutton to
display one of eight compass readings
and the outside temperature or to exit
sub-menus.
• Push the RIGHT Arrowbutton for
access to main menus, sub-menus or
to select a personal setting in the setup
menu.
Compass Calibration
This compass is self-calibrating, which eliminates the need to set the compass
manually. When the vehicle is new, the compass may appear erratic, and the EVIC
will display “CAL” until the compass is calibrated.
You may also calibrate the compass by completing one or more 360 degree turns (in
an area free from large metal or metallic objects) until the “CAL” message displayed
in the EVIC turns off. The compass will now function normally.
