VEHICLE SECURITY ALARM
The Vehicle Security Alarm monitors the vehicle doors

Security Light in the instrument cluster will flash.

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 regard-
less 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
exterior lights will flash, and the horn will sound. If this
occurs, disarm the Vehicle Security Alarm.

16 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE

Interior Lights
The interior light switches are located in the overhead
console. The interior lights can be set to three different
positions (Off/Left Position, Center Position, On/Right
Position).
Using the switch on the left overhead, push the switch
to the right from its center position and the lights are
always on. Push the switch to the left from its center
position and the lights are always off. Leave the switch
in the center position, and the lights are turned on and
off when the doors are opened or closed. The switch on
the right side of the overhead console controls the map
or reading function of the lights. Push the switch to the
right to turn on the right light and push the switch to
the left to turn on the left light.
CAUTION!
Before getting out of the vehicle be sure that the
switch is in the center position or that the lights are
off to avoid draining the battery.
Interior Light Timing (Center Position)
There are four different modes of operation that can be
activated in this position:
•When one door is opened a three minute timer is
activated.
• When the key is removed from the ignition (within
two minutes of the ignition being turned off), a 10
second timer is activated.
• When the doors are unlocked with the key fob a 10
second timer is activated.
• When the doors are locked with the key fob the lights
will turn off.
Interior Light Timing (On/Right Position)
• When all doors are closed a 15 minute timer is
activated.
NOTE: The timer is deactivated when the key is moved
into the ON/RUN position.
