To Arm The System
1. Remove the RKE Key Fob from the ignition
and get out of the vehicle.
2. Lock the door using either the power door
lock
switch or the RKE Key Fob lockbutton and close all doors.
3. The Vehicle Security Light in the instrument
cluster will flash rapidly for approximately 16
seconds. This shows that the Vehicle Secu-
rity Alarm is arming. During this period, if a
door is opened, the ignition is placed in the
ON/RUN position, or the power door locks
are unlocked in any manner, the Vehicle
Security Alarm will automatically disarm. Af-
ter approximately 16 seconds, the Vehicle
Security Light will flash slowly. This shows
that the Vehicle Security Alarm is fully
armed.
Rearming Of The SystemIf something triggers the alarm, and no action is
taken to disarm it, the Vehicle Security Alarm
will turn off the horn after 29 seconds, turn off all
of the visual signals after one minute, and then
the Vehicle Security Alarm will rearm itself.
To Disarm The SystemPush UNLOCK on the RKE Key Fob, or insert
the key into the ignition and place the ignition in
the ON/RUN position.
If something has triggered the Vehicle Security
Alarm in your absence, the exterior lights blink
three times when you unlock the doors. Check
the vehicle for tampering. The Vehicle Security
Alarm is designed to protect your vehicle; how-
ever, you can create conditions where the Ve-
hicle Security Alarm will arm unexpectedly. If
you remain in the vehicle and lock the doors
with the RKE Key Fob, once the Vehicle Secu-
rity Alarm is armed (after 16 seconds), when
you pull the door handle to exit, the alarm will
sound. If this occurs, push the UNLOCK button
on the RKE Key Fob to disarm the Vehicle
Security Alarm.
Vehicle Security Alarm Manual
Override
The Vehicle Security Alarm will not arm if you
lock the doors using the manual door lock
plunger.
PREMIUM VEHICLE SECURITY
ALARM — IF EQUIPPED
The Premium Vehicle Security Alarm system
monitors the doors, hood latch, liftgate, and
ignition switch for unauthorized operation.
If something triggers the security alarm, the
audible alert will sound for 29 seconds and flash
the lights for 60 seconds. If the triggering device
is not deactivated, the audible alert will sound
again after a five-second delay for another 29
seconds. If the trigger remains present, this
cycle will repeat for up to five minutes.
If the intrusion sensor is enabled, the security
alarm system will also monitor the vehicle for
movement. When this portion of the alarm is
set, movement inside the vehicle or movement
of the vehicle will trigger the Vehicle Security
Alarm.

Bags fully inflate in less time than it takes to
blink your eyes. The air bags then quickly
deflate while helping to restrain the driver and
front passenger.
Knee Impact Bolsters
The Knee Impact Bolsters help protect the
knees of the driver and front passenger, and
position the front occupants for improved inter-
action with the Advanced Front Air Bags.
WARNING!
•Do not drill, cut, or tamper with the knee
impact bolsters in any way
•Do not mount any accessories to the knee
impact bolsters such as alarm lights, ste-
reos, citizen band radios, etc.
Supplemental Side Air Bags
Your vehicle is equipped with two types of side
air bags:
1.Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Air
Bags (SABs): Located in the outboard
side of the front seats. The SABs aremarked with a “SRS AIRBAG” or “AIR-
BAG” label sewn into the outboard side
of the seats.
The SABs may help to reduce the risk of
occupant injury during certain side impacts
and/or vehicle rollover events, in addition to the
injury reduction potential provided by the seat
belts and body structure.When the SAB deploys, it opens the seam on
the outboard side of the seatback’s trim cover.
The inflating SAB deploys through the seat
seam into the space between the occupant and
the door. The SAB moves at a very high speed
and with such a high force that it could injure
occupants if they are not seated properly, or if
items are positioned in the area where the SAB
inflates. Children are at an even greater risk of
injury from a deploying air bag.WARNING!
Do not use accessory seat covers or place
objects between you and the Side Air Bags;
the performance could be adversely affected
and/or objects could be pushed into you,
causing serious injury.
2.Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable Cur-
tains (SABICs): Located above the side
windows. The trim covering the SABICs
is labeled “SRS AIRBAG” or “AIRBAG.”

•Flash hazard lights as long as the battery has
power or until the hazard light button is
pressed. The hazard lights can be deacti-
vated by pressing the hazard light button.

•Unlock the power door locks.
Enhanced Accident Response System
Reset Procedure
In order to reset the Enhanced Accident Re-
sponse System functions after an event, the
ignition must be changed from the START or
ON/RUN position to the OFF position. Carefully
check the vehicle for fuel leaks in the engine
compartment and on the ground near the en-
gine compartment and fuel tank before resetting
the system and starting the engine.
Air Bag Warning Light
The air bags must be ready to
inflate for your protection in a colli-
sion. The Occupant Restraint Con-
troller (ORC) monitors the internal
circuits and interconnecting wiring
associated with air bag system electrical com-
ponents.The ORC monitors the readiness of the elec-
tronic parts of the air bag system whenever the
ignition is placed in the START or ON/RUN
position. If the ignition is in the OFF position or
in the ACC position, the air bag system is not on
and the air bags will not inflate.
The ORC contains a backup power supply
system that may deploy the air bags even if the
battery loses power or it becomes disconnected
prior to deployment.
The ORC turns on the Air Bag Warning Light in
the instrument panel for approximately four to
eight seconds for a self-check when the ignition
is first placed in the ON/RUN position. After the
self-check, the Air Bag Warning Light will turn
off. If the ORC detects a malfunction in any part
of the system, it turns on the Air Bag Warning
Light, either momentarily or continuously. A
single chime will sound to alert you if the light
comes on again after initial startup.
The ORC also includes diagnostics that will
illuminate the instrument panel Air Bag Warning
Light if a malfunction is detected that could
affect the air bag system. The diagnostics also
record the nature of the malfunction. While theair bag system is designed to be maintenance
free, if any of the following occurs, have an
authorized dealer service the air bag system
immediately.
•The Air Bag Warning Light does not come on
during the four to eight seconds when the
ignition is first placed in the ON/RUN posi-
tion.
•The Air Bag Warning Light remains on after
the four to eight-second interval.
•The Air Bag Warning Light comes on inter-
mittently or remains on while driving.
NOTE:
If the speedometer, tachometer, or any en-
gine related gauges are not working, the
Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) may
also be disabled. In this condition the air
bags may not be ready to inflate for your
protection. Have an authorized dealer ser-
vice the air bag system immediately.

WARNING!(Continued)
•Always make sure that objects cannot fall
into the driver footwell while the vehicle is
moving. Objects can become trapped un-
der the brake pedal and accelerator pedal
causing a loss of vehicle control.
•If required, mounting posts must be prop-
erly installed, if not equipped from the
factory.
Failure to properly follow floor mat installa-
tion or mounting can cause interference with
the brake pedal and accelerator pedal opera-
tion causing loss of control of the vehicle.
Periodic Safety Checks You Should
Make Outside The Vehicle
Tires
Examine tires for excessive tread wear and
uneven wear patterns. Check for stones, nails,
glass, or other objects lodged in the tread or
sidewall. Inspect the tread for cuts and cracks.
Inspect sidewalls for cuts, cracks, and bulges.
Check the wheel nuts for tightness. Check the
tires (including spare) for proper cold inflation
pressure.
Lights
Have someone observe the operation of brake
lights and exterior lights while you work the
controls. Check turn signal and high beam
indicator lights on the instrument panel.Door Latches
Check for proper closing, latching, and locking.
Fluid Leaks
Check area under vehicle after overnight park-
ing for fuel, engine coolant, oil, or other fluid
leaks. Also, if gasoline fumes are detected or if
fuel, power steering fluid (if equipped), or brake
fluid leaks are suspected. The cause should be
located and corrected immediately.
