Closing the Hood
{Warning
Do not drive the vehicle if the
hood is not latched completely.
The hood could open fully, block
your vision, and cause a crash.
You or others could be injured.
Always close the hood completely
before driving.
The hood is not heavy enough to
latch under its own weight. The
hood will remain open until the
striker is pushed into the latch.
Ensure the hood is fully latched
before taking the vehicle out of

button inside the underhood
compartment will not function
when the battery is disconnected
or depleted. To avoid personal
injury or death, always keep the
hood fully closed and latched
when storing the vehicle. If the
hood is not latched, a person
could climb into the underhood
compartment and inadvertently
close the hood. People should
never climb inside the underhood
compartment. Never shut the
hood when a person is inside. See
“Opening The Hood When
There Is No Electrical Power,”
earlier in this section.

If the engine does not start and the
security light comes on, there may
be a problem with the immobilizer
system. Try starting the vehicle
again.

remote key appears to be
undamaged, try another remote key.
Or, place the remote key in the
cupholder backup location. See
Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
System Operation09. If the engine
still does not start with the other
remote key, or with the remote key
in the cupholder backup location,
the vehicle needs service. If the
engine does start, the first remote
key may be faulty. See your dealer
or have a new remote key
programmed to the vehicle. The immobilizer system can learn
new or replacement remote keys.
Up to eight remote keys can be
programmed for the vehicle. To
program additional remote keys, see
“Programming Remote Keys to the
Vehicle”
underRemote Keyless
Entry (RKE) System Operation 09.
Do not leave the remote 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.

Warning Lights,
Gauges, and
Indicators
Warning lights and gauges can
signal that something is wrong
before it becomes serious enough
to cause an expensive repair or
replacement. Paying attention to the
warning lights and gauges could
prevent injury.Some warning lights come on briefly
when the engine is started to
indicate they are working. When
one of the warning lights comes on
and stays on while driving, or when
one of the gauges shows there may
be a problem, check the section that
explains what to do. Waiting to do
repairs can be costly and even
dangerous.

safety information. The overhead
console has a passenger airbag
status indicator.
United States
Canada and Mexico
When the vehicle is started, the
passenger airbag status indicator
will light ON and OFF, or the
symbols for on and off, for several
seconds as a system check. Then,
after several more seconds, the
status indicator will light either ON
or OFF, or the on or off symbol, to
let you know the status of the front
outboard passenger frontal airbag. If the word ON or the on symbol is
lit on the passenger airbag status
indicator, it means that the front
outboard passenger frontal airbag is
allowed to inflate.
If the word OFF or the off symbol is
lit on the airbag status indicator, it
means that the passenger sensing
system has turned off the front
outboard passenger frontal airbag.
If, after several seconds, both status
indicator lights remain on, if there
are no lights at all, or if the airbag
readiness light is on, there may be a
problem with the lights or the
passenger sensing system. See
your dealer for service right away.
{Warning
If the airbag readiness light ever
comes on and stays on, it means
that something may be wrong
with the airbag system. To help
avoid injury to yourself or others,
have the vehicle serviced right

away. SeeAirbag Readiness
Light 0100 for more information,
including important safety
information.
Charging System Light
The charging system light comes on
briefly when the ignition is turned
on, but the engine is not running, as
a check to show the light is working.
The light turns off when the engine
is started. If it does not, have the
vehicle serviced by your dealer.
If the light stays on, or comes on
while driving, there may be a
problem with the electrical charging
system. Have it checked by your
dealer. Driving while this light is on
could drain the battery.
