The system does not have to be manually
armed or disarmed.
The vehicle is automatically immobilized
when the vehicle is turned off.
The system is automatically disarmed when
the ignition is turned from off to on.
The security light, in the instrument cluster,
comes on if there is a problem with arming
or disarming the theft-deterrent system.
When trying to start the vehicle, the
security light comes on briefly when the

If the engine does not start and the security
light stays on, there is a problem with the
system. Turn the ignition off and try again.
If the engine still does not start, and the
key appears to be undamaged, try another
ignition key. It may be necessary to check
the fuse. SeeFuses and Circuit Breakers
0 258. If the engine still does not start with
the other key, the vehicle needs service.
If the vehicle does start, the first key may
be faulty. See your dealer. It is possible for the immobilizer system to
learn new or replacement keys. Up to eight
keys can be programmed for the vehicle. To
program additional transmitters, see

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
If equipped, adjust manual mirrors by
moving the mirror up and down or left to
right to see a little of the side of the vehicle
and to have a clear view behind the vehicle.
Using hood-mounted air deflectors and
add-on convex mirror attachments could
decrease mirror performance.
Power Mirrors
If equipped, adjust the power mirrors: 1. Move the selector switch to L (Left) or R (Right) to choose driver or passenger
mirror.

Driving with the Blind Spot Mirror
Actual Mirror View 1. When the approaching vehicle is a long
distance away, the image in the main
mirror is small and near the inboard
edge of the mirror.
2. As the vehicle gets closer, the image in the main mirror gets larger and moves
outboard.
3. As the vehicle enters the blind zone, the image transitions from the main mirror
to the blind spot mirror.
4. When the vehicle is in the blind zone, the image only appears in the blind spot
mirror.
Using the Outside Mirror with the Blind
Spot Mirror
1. Set the main mirror so that the side ofthe vehicle can just be seen and the
blind spot mirror has an
unobstructed view.
2. When checking for traffic or before changing a lane, look at the main driver/
passenger side mirror to observe traffic
in the adjacent lane, behind your vehicle.
Check the blind spot mirror for a vehicle
in the blind zone. Then, glance over your
shoulder to double check before moving
slowly into the adjacent lane.

Warning
Never leave a child, a helpless adult, or a
pet alone in a vehicle, especially with the
windows closed in warm or hot weather.
They can be overcome by the extreme
heat and suffer permanent injuries or
even death from heat stroke.
The vehicle aerodynamics are designed to
improve fuel economy performance. This
may result in a pulsing sound when either
rear window is down and the front windows
are up. To reduce the sound, open either a
front window or the sunroof, if equipped.
Power Windows

172 Driving and Operating
If the vehicle starts to slide, follow these
suggestions:
.Ease your foot off the accelerator pedal
and steer the way you want the vehicle
to go. The vehicle may straighten out. Be
ready for a second skid if it occurs.
.Slow down and adjust your driving
according to weather conditions. Stopping
distance can be longer and vehicle control
can be affected when traction is reduced
by water, snow, ice, gravel, or other
material on the road. Learn to recognize
warning clues—such as enough water,
ice, or packed snow on the road to make
a mirrored surface —and slow down
when you have any doubt.
.Try to avoid sudden steering, acceleration,
or braking, including reducing vehicle
speed by shifting to a lower gear. Any
sudden changes could cause the tires to
slide.
Remember: Antilock brakes help avoid only
the braking skid.
Off-Road Driving
Four-wheel-drive vehicles can be used for
off-road driving. Vehicles without four-wheel
drive and vehicles not equipped with All
Terrain (AT) or On-Off Road (OOR) tires must not be driven off-road except on a level,
solid surface. For contact information about
the original equipment tires, see the
warranty manual.
One of the best ways for successful off-road
driving is to control the speed.
{Warning
When driving off-road, bouncing and
quick changes in direction can easily
throw you out of position. This could
cause you to lose control and crash. You
and your passengers should always wear
seat belts.
Before Driving Off-Road
.Have all necessary maintenance and
service work completed.
.Fuel the vehicle, fill fluid levels, and check
inflation pressure in all tires, including the
spare, if equipped.
.Read all the information about
four-wheel-drive vehicles in this manual.
.Remove any underbody air deflector,
if equipped. Re-attach the air deflector
after off-road driving.
.Know the local laws that apply to off-road
driving.
To gain more ground clearance if needed, it
may be necessary to remove the front fascia
lower air dam, if equipped. However, driving
without the air dam reduces fuel economy.
Caution
Operating the vehicle for extended
periods without the front fascia lower air
dam installed can cause improper airflow
to the engine. Reattach the front fascia
air dam after off-road driving.
Loading the Vehicle for Off-Road Driving
{Warning
.Unsecured cargo on the load floor can
be tossed about when driving over
rough terrain. You or your passengers
can be struck by flying objects. Secure
the cargo properly.
.Keep cargo in the cargo area as far
forward and as low as possible. The
heaviest things should be on the floor,
forward of the rear axle.
.Heavy loads on the roof raise the
vehicle's center of gravity, making it
more likely to roll over. You can be
