WARNING!
• Do not start or run an engine in a closed garage or confined area. Exhaust gascontains 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
ignition 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 The System:
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 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.

WARNING!
• Persons who are unable to feel pain to the skin because of advanced age,chronic illness, diabetes, spinal cord injury, medication, alcohol use, exhaus-
tion or other physical condition must exercise care when using the seat heater.
It may cause burns even at low temperatures, especially if used for long periods
of time.
• Do not place anything on the seat or seatback that insulates against heat, such
as a blanket or cushion. This may cause the seat heater to overheat. Sitting in
a seat that has been overheated could cause serious burns due to the increased
surface temperature of the seat.
TILT STEERING COLUMN
This feature allows you to tilt the steering column upward or downward. The tilt
steering column lever is located on the left side of the steering column, below the
turn signal lever.
Push down on the lever to unlock the steering column. With one hand firmly on the
steering wheel, move the steering column up or down, as desired. Push the lever up
to lock the steering column firmly in place.
WARNING!
Do not adjust the steering column while driving. Adjusting the steering column
while driving or driving with the steering column unlocked, could cause the driver
to lose control of the vehicle. Failure to follow this warning may result in serious
injury or death.

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. Refer to “Maintaining Your
Vehicle,” for the recommended viscosity and quality grades.
NOTE:
A new engine may consume some oil during its first few thousand miles (kilometers)
of operation. This should be considered a normal part of the break-in and not
interpreted as an indication of an engine problem or malfunction.
CAUTION!
Never use Non-Detergent Oil or Straight Mineral Oil in the engine or damage may
result.
MULTIFUNCTION LEVER
The multifunction lever controls the operation of the headlights, parking lights, turn
signals, headlight beam selection, instrument panel light dimming, interior lights,
the passing lights, and the fog lights. The multifunction lever is located on the left
side of the steering column.

Headlights And Parking Lights
Turn the end of the multifunction lever to the first detent to turn on the parking lights.
Turn the end of the lever to the second detent to turn on the headlights.
Automatic Headlights
Turning the end of the multifunction lever to the third detent (AUTO), will activate the
automatic headlight system.
With the engine running and the multifunction lever in the AUTO position, the
headlights will turn on and turn off based on the surrounding light levels.
Instrument Panel Dimming
Rotate the center portion of the lever to the extreme bottom position to fully dim the
instrument panel lights and prevent the interior lights from illuminating when a door
is opened.
Rotate the center portion of the lever up to increase the brightness of the instrument
panel lights when the parking lights or headlights are on.
Rotate the center portion of the lever upward to the next detent position to brighten
the odometer and radio when the parking lights or headlights are on.
Rotate the center portion of the lever upward to the last detent to turn on the interior
lighting.
Flash-To-Pass
You can signal another vehicle with your headlights by lightly pulling the multifunc-
tion lever toward you. This will turn on the high beam headlights until the lever is
released.
NOTE:
If the multifunction lever is held in the flash-to-pass position for more than 20
seconds, the high beams will shut off. If this occurs, wait 30 seconds for the next
flash-to-pass operation.
High/Low Beam Switch
Push the multifunction lever away from you to switch the headlights to high beam.
Pull the multifunction lever toward you to switch the headlights back to low beam.
Fog Lights
The front fog light switch is on the multifunction lever. To activate the front fog lights,
turn on the parking lights or the low beam headlights and pull out the end of the
multifunction lever.
NOTE:
The fog lights will only operate with the headlights on low beam. Selecting high beam
headlights will turn off the fog lights.

Turn Signals
Move the multifunction lever up or down and the arrows on each side of the
instrument cluster flash to show proper operation of the front and rear turn signal
lights.
NOTE:
If either light remains on and does not flash, or there is a very fast flash rate, check
for a defective outside light bulb. If an indicator fails to light when the lever is moved,
it would suggest that the indicator bulb is defective.
Lane Change Assist
Tap the lever up or down once, without moving beyond the detent, and the turn signal
(right or left) will flash three times then automatically turn off.
WINDSHIELD WIPERS AND WASHERS
CAUTION!
• Turn the windshield wipers off when driving through an automatic car wash.Damage to the windshield wipers may result if the wiper control is left in any
position other than off.
• In cold weather, always turn off the wiper switch and allow the wipers to return
to the “Park” position before turning off the engine. If the wiper switch is left
on and the wipers freeze to the windshield, damage to the wiper motor may
occur when the vehicle is restarted.
• Always remove any buildup of snow that prevents the windshield wiper blades
from returning to the off position. If the windshield wiper control is turned off
and the blades cannot return to the off position, damage to the wiper motor
may occur.
