This vehicle has an anti-theft alarm
system.
Arming the Alarm System
1. Close the side door/rear doorsand the hood. Turn off the
vehicle.
2. Lock the vehicle in one of two ways:

the RKE transmitter a second
time will bypass the 30-second

arm if the doors are locked with the
key or the manual door lock.
The alarm will also be activated if a
passenger door, side door, rear
door, or the hood is opened without
first disarming the system. When the
alarm is activated, the turn signals
flash and the horn sounds for about
30 seconds. The alarm system will
then re-arm to monitor for the next
unauthorized event.

off the alarm if it has been activated:
.
Press
Kon the RKE transmitter.
. Start the vehicle.
To avoid setting off the alarm by
accident:
. Lock the vehicle after all
occupants have left the vehicle
and all doors are closed.
. Always unlock a door with the
RKE transmitter. Unlocking the driver door with the
key will not disarm the system or
turn off the alarm.
How to Detect a Tamper
Condition
IfKis pressed and the horn chirps
and the lights flash three times, the
alarm was activated while the alarm
system was armed.
If the alarm system has been
activated, and allowed to complete
an event (approximately
one minute), a message will appear
on the Driver Information Center
(DIC) the next time the vehicle is
started.

a:Slow wipes.
9: Use to turn the wipers off.
When driving during the day and the
wipers are activated, the headlamps
automatically turn on after
completing eight wipe cycles.
Clear ice and snow from the wiper
blades before using them. If frozen
to the windshield, carefully loosen or
thaw them. Damaged blades should
be replaced.
Windshield Washer
The windshield wiper paddle is on
top of the turn signal lever.
L: Push the paddle to spray
washer fluid on the windshield. The
wipers will clear the window and
then either stop or return to the
preset speed.
{Warning
In freezing weather, do not use
the washer until the windshield is
warmed. Otherwise the washer
fluid can form ice on the
windshield, blocking your vision.
Compass
This vehicle may have a compass in
the Driver Information Center (DIC).
Compass Zone
Your dealer will set the correct zone
for your location.
Under certain circumstances, such
as during a long distance
cross-country trip or moving to a
new state or province, it will be
necessary to compensate for
compass variance by resetting the
zone through the DIC if the zone is
not set correctly. Compass variance is the difference
between the earth's magnetic north
and true geographic north. If the
compass is not set to the zone
where you live, the compass may
give false readings. The compass
must be set to the variance zone in
which the vehicle is traveling.
To adjust for compass variance, use
the following procedure:
Compass Variance (Zone)
Procedure
1. Do not set the compass zone when the vehicle is moving.
Only set it when the vehicle is
in P (Park).
