KEYS
Key Fob
Your vehicle uses a keyless ignition
system. This system includes a key fob
and a keyless push button ignition.
The key fob with Remote Control
contains a Remote Keyless Entry key
fob. The Remote Keyless Entry system
allows you to lock or unlock the doors
and trunk or activate the Panic Alarm
from distances. The key fob does not
need to be pointed at the vehicle to
activate the system.
PANIC Function
To activate the PANIC function, push
and hold the PANIC button for at least
one second. When the panic alarm is
active, the headlights turn on, the turn
signals flash, the horn honks
intermittently, and all internal adjustablelights turn on. The panic alarm will
remain active for three minutes, and
can be deactivated:By pushing the PANIC button again.
Automatically if the vehicle speed
exceeds 5 mph (8 km/h).
In both cases, the panic alarm is
immediately deactivated.
Warning!
Before exiting a vehicle, always shift the
automatic transmission into PARK, apply
the parking brake, turn the engine OFF,
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 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

IGNITION SYSTEM
Operation
To activate the keyless ignition, the key
fob must be inside the passenger
compartment.
The keyless ignition has the following
modes:
STOP: engine off, steering locked.
Some electrical devices (e.g. central
door locking system, alarm, etc.) are
still available.
ON: all electrical devices are
available. This state can be entered by
pushing the ignition button once,
without pressing the brake pedal.
AVV: engine starting. This state can be
entered by pushing the ignition button
once while pressing the brake pedal.
Note:
With the keyless ignition in the ON
position: if 30 minutes pass with the
gear selector in P (Park) and the
engine stopped, the keyless ignition
will automatically reset to the STOP
position.
With the engine started, it is
possible to remove the key fob from
the vehicle. The engine will remain
running and the instrument cluster will
indicate the absence of the key fob
when the door is closed.
For more information on the engine
start-up, refer to "Starting The Engine"
in "Starting And Operating."
Warning!
Never use the PARK position as a
substitute for the parking brake. Always
apply the parking brake fully when parked
to guard against vehicle movement and
possible injury or damage.
When leaving the vehicle, always make
sure the ignition is in the OFF mode,
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), and do not leave the ignition in
the AVV or ON/RUN mode. A child could
operate power windows, other controls, or
move the vehicle.
Be sure the parking brake is fully
disengaged before driving; failure to do so
can lead to brake failure and a collision.
Always fully apply the parking brake
when leaving your vehicle, or it may roll and
cause damage or injury. Also be certain to
leave the transmission in PARK. Failure to
do so may allow the vehicle to roll and
cause damage or injury.
Driving the vehicle with the parking brake
engaged, or repeated use of the parking
brake to slow the vehicle may cause
serious damage to the brake system.
Caution!
If the Brake System Warning Light remains
on with the parking brake released, a brake
system malfunction is indicated. Have the
brake system serviced by an authorized
dealer immediately.

HOOD
Opening
To open the hood, proceed as follows:
1. Pull the release lever located on the
driver’s side kick panel.
2. Go to the outside of the vehicle and
position yourself in front of the grille.
3. Lift the hood slightly.
4. From right to left, move the
under-hood latch to release the hood.5. Raise the hood completely. The
operation is assisted by the addition of
two gas props which hold it in the open
position.
Note:
Do not tamper with the props and
assist the hood while lifting it.
Use both hands to lift the hood.
Before lifting, check that the windshield
wiper arms are not raised from the
windshield or in operation, that the
vehicle is stationary and that the
electric park brake is engaged.
Closing
As the hood is extremely light, to close
the hood, lower it to approximately
16 inches (40 cm) from the engine
compartment then apply a slight
pressure downward and drop the hood.
Make sure that the hood is completely
closed and fully latched. If it is not
perfectly closed, do not try to push the
hood down but open it and repeat the
procedure
Note: Always check that the hood is
closed correctly to prevent it from
opening while the vehicle is travelling.
Since the hood is equipped with a
double locking system, one for each
side, you must check that it is closed
on both its side ends.
Warning!
Be sure the hood is fully latched before
driving your vehicle. If the hood is not fully
latched, it could open when the vehicle is
in motion and block your vision. Failure to
follow this warning could result in serious
injury or death.

Note:Without starting the engine,
activate the handbrake and place the
ignition in the ON position.
The following operation will delete the
manufacture’s standard codes and
does not need to be repeated during
the subsequent button programming:
Push and hold the outer buttons
(1 and 3). After about 10 seconds, the
lighted indicators will start to flash.
Release both buttons. Note:
Follow the steps below to begin
programming your remote control to
one of the HomeLink buttons:
1. Push and hold the desired
HomeLink button (1, 2 or 3).
2. When the HomeLink indicator
begins to flash slowly, move the
portable remote control one to three
inches from the HomeLink system
(keeping the programmable button
pushed down).
3. If the indicator does not begin to
flash quickly, change the distance
between the HomeLink and the
portable remote control and try the
procedure again.
4. The HomeLink indicator flashes,
first slowly and then quickly. When the
indicator starts to flash quickly, release
both buttons.
Using The Homelink System
The HomeLink system activates the
garage door or gate motor, just like the
portable remote control. The car must
be within the range of the garage door
and the ignition must be in the ON
position. Push the programmed button (1, 2 or
3). While the signal is being transmitted,
the indicator is lit and the system
(garage door, gate, etc.) will respond.
If the HomeLink system does not
operate, the original portable remote
control may be equipped with an
alternative code (refer to “Alternative
Code Synchronization”).
If necessary, the original remote control
can still be used to operate the system.
Alternative Code Synchronization
To check whether the garage door or
gate motor has an alternative code,
proceed as follows:
1. Read the garage door or gate motor
manufacturer manual.
2. The portable remote control seems
to have programmed to the HomeLink
system, but the garage door or gate
can be neither opened or closed.
3. Push the programmed button and
keep it pushed (1, 2 or 3). With an
alternative code system, the indicator
flashes briefly, and then remains off
for two seconds. This sequence is
repeated for 20 seconds.

Warning!
Vehicle exhaust contains carbon
monoxide, a dangerous gas. Do not run
your vehicle in the garage while
programming the transceiver. Exhaust gas
can cause serious injury or death.
Your motorized door or gate will open
and close while you are programming the
universal transceiver. Do not program the
transceiver if people, pets or other objects
are in the path of the door or gate. Only
use this transceiver with a garage door
opener that has a “stop and reverse”
feature as required by Federal safety
standards. This includes most garage door
opener models manufactured after 1982.
Do not use a garage door opener without
these safety features. Call toll-free
1-800-355-3515 or, on the Internet at

Red Warning Lights
Warning LightWhat It Means What To Do
INSUFFICIENT BRAKE FLUID/ELECTRIC PARK BRAKE
ON
This light monitors various brake functions, including
brake fluid level and parking brake application. If the
brake light turns on it may indicate that the parking
brake is applied, that the brake fluid level is low, or that
there is a problem with the anti-lock brake system
reservoir.
If the light remains on when the parking brake has been
disengaged, and the fluid level is at the full mark on the
master cylinder reservoir, it indicates a possible brake
hydraulic system malfunction or that a problem with the
Brake Booster has been detected by the Anti-Lock
Brake System (ABS) / Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
system. In this case, the light will remain on until the
condition has been corrected. If the problem is related
to the Brake Booster, the ABS pump will run when
applying the brake, and a brake pedal pulsation may be
felt during each stop.For low brake fluid level, go to an authorized dealer to
have the system checked as soon as possible.
Release the electric park brake, then check that the
warning light has switched off.
If the warning light stays on, contact an authorized
dealer.
ELECTRONIC BRAKING FORCE DISTRIBUTION (EBD)
FAILURE
The simultaneous switching on of the BRAKE (red) and
(amber) warning lights with the engine on indicates
either a failure of the EBD system or that the system is
not available. In this case, the rear wheels may suddenly
lock and the vehicle may swerve when braking abruptly. Drive very carefully to the nearest authorized dealer to
have the system inspected immediately.
