Immobilizer Operation
This vehicle has an alarm system.
The system does not have to be
manually armed or disarmed.
This security light blinks whenever
the ignition is turned off or to ACC/
ACCESSORY. The system is automatically
disarmed when the vehicle is
started. The key uses a transponder
that matches an immobilizer control
unit in the vehicle and automatically
disarms the system. Only the
correct key starts the vehicle. The
vehicle may not start if the key is
damaged.If the immobilizer system is
malfunctioning, the security light will
remain on while the ignition is on.
If the engine will not start using a
registered key:
1. Leave the ignition on for about five seconds.
2. Turn the ignition off, and wait for about 10 seconds.
3. Repeat Steps 1 and 2.
4. Restart the engine.
If the engine will not start, place the
key on a separate key ring to avoid
interference from other devices.
If the light still remains on and/or the
engine will not start, see a dealer for
service. Bring all registered keys to
the dealer.
Do not leave the key or device that
disarms or deactivates the
theft-deterrent system in the vehicle.

Exterior Mirrors
Convex Mirrors
{Warning
A convex mirror can make things,
like other vehicles, look farther
away than they really are. If you
cut too sharply into the right lane,
you could hit a vehicle on the
right. Check the inside mirror or
glance over your shoulder before
changing lanes.
The passenger side mirror is convex
shaped. A convex mirror's surface is
curved so more can be seen from
the driver seat.
Manual Mirrors
Adjust the mirrors by pressing up,
down, left, or right on the sides of
the mirror.
Power Mirrors
If equipped with power outside
mirrors, adjust by selecting the left
or right mirror (1) and then use the

to the desired position.
Return the switch (1) to the center
position to prevent accidental mirror
movement.
The power mirrors will operate only
when the ignition is in the ACC or
ON position.

Power Windows
{Warning
Leaving children in a vehicle with
the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
transmitter is dangerous for many
reasons; children or others could
be badly injured or even killed.
They could operate the power
windows or other controls or even
make the vehicle move. They
could be seriously injured or killed
if caught in the path of a closing
window. Do not leave the RKE
transmitter in a vehicle with
children.
The power window controls (1) are
on the front doors. The driver door
also has a control (2) to operate the
front passenger window.
Press the switch to the first detent to
lower the window. Pull to the first
detent to raise the window. Release
to stop at the desired position.
The switches work when the ignition
is in ON or for a period of time after
the ignition is placed in the OFF
position. If the driver or passenger
door is opened the power to the
windows is canceled.
Express-Up/Down
If equipped, the front windows have
an express feature that allows the
window to be raised or lowered
without holding the switch. Press or
pull the switch fully and release it to
activate the express feature. This
mode can be canceled by briefly
pressing or pulling the switch.
Auto-Reverse Function
If any object is in the path of the
window when express operation is
active, the window stops at the
obstacle and auto-reverses to a
preset factory position. Weather
conditions such as severe icing also
cause the window to auto-reverse.
The window returns to normal
operation once the obstacle or
condition is removed.
If the battery on the vehicle has
been recharged, disconnected, or is
not working, the auto-reverse
function may not operate properly.
If this occurs, see“Programming the
Power Windows” later in this
section.

is fully open.

function does not operate properly

glare. Detach the sun visor from the
