A WORD ABOUT YOUR KEYSYour vehicle uses a keyless ignition system.
This system consists of a Key Fob with Remote
Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter and a Wireless
Ignition Node (WIN) with integral ignition
switch. You can insert the Key Fob into the
ignition switch with either side up.
Keyless Enter-N-Go Feature
This vehicle is equipped with the Keyless Enter-
N-Go feature, refer to “Starting Procedures” in
“Starting And Operating” for further informa-
tion.
Wireless Ignition Node (WIN)The Wireless Ignition Node (WIN) operates
similar to an ignition switch. It has four operat-
ing positions, three of which are detented and
one spring-loaded. The detented positions are
LOCK, ACC, and ON/RUN. The START position
is a spring-loaded momentary contact position.
When released from the START position, the
switch automatically returns to the detented
ON/RUN position.NOTE:
With the Keyless Enter-N-Go feature, the
Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)
will display the ignition switch position
(OFF/ACC/RUN). Refer to “Electronic Ve-
hicle Information Center (EVIC)” in “Under-
standing Your Instrument Panel” for further
information.
Key FobThe Key Fob operates the ignition switch. It
also contains the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
transmitter and an emergency key, which
stores in the rear of the Key Fob.
The emergency key allows for entry into the
vehicle on the driver’s side should the battery in
the vehicle or the RKE transmitter go dead. The
emergency key is also for locking the glove
box. You can keep the emergency key with you
when valet parking.
NOTE:
Entering a vehicle using the emergency key
with the theft alarm armed, will result in the
alarm sounding. Insert the Key Fob (even if
the Key Fob battery is dead) into the ignition
switch to disarm theft alarm.
To remove the emergency key, slide the me-
chanical latch at the top of the Key Fob side-
ways with your thumb and then pull the key out
with your other hand.

CAUTION!(Continued)
• With Keyless Enter-N-Go, always remem-
ber to place the ignition in OFF.
At the time of purchase, the original owner is
provided with a four-digit Personal Identifica-
tion Number (PIN). Keep the PIN in a secure
location. This number is required for authorized
dealer replacement of Key Fobs. Duplication of
Key Fobs may be performed at an authorized
dealer.
NOTE:
When having the Sentry Key Immobilizer
system serviced, bring all vehicle ignition
keys with you to an authorized dealer.
Customer Key ProgrammingProgramming Key Fobs or RKE transmitters
may be performed at an authorized dealer.

VEHICLE SECURITY ALARM —
IF EQUIPPED
The Vehicle Security Alarm monitors the hood,
liftgate, liftgate flipper glass, vehicle doors for
unauthorized entry, and the ignition switch for
unauthorized operation. If something triggers
the alarm, the Vehicle Security Alarm will pre-
vent the vehicle from starting and provide the
following audio and visual signals: the horn will
pulse, the headlights will flash, the park lights
will flash, and the Vehicle Security Light in the
instrument cluster will flash.
To Arm the System
Vehicles Not Equipped with Keyless
Enter-N-Go
Remove the key from the ignition switch and
either press a power door lock switch while the
driver or passenger door is open, or press the
LOCK button on the Remote Keyless Entry
(RKE) transmitter. After the last door is closed,
or if all doors are closed, the Vehicle Security
Alarm will arm itself in about 16 seconds.
During that time, the Vehicle Security Light will
flash. If it does not illuminate, the Vehicle Secu-
rity Alarm is not arming. Also, if you open a door
during the arming period, the Vehicle Security
Alarm will cancel the arming process. If you
wish to rearm the Vehicle Security Alarm after
closing the door, you must repeat one of the
previously-described arming sequences.
Vehicles Equipped with Keyless
Enter-N-Go
Press the Keyless Enter-N-Go Start/Stop button
until the Electronic Vehicle Information Center
(EVIC) indicates that the vehicle ignition is
“OFF” (refer to “Starting Procedures” in “Start-
ing And Operating” for further information).
Then either press the power door LOCK switch
15

while the driver or passenger door is open,
press the lock button on the front driver or
passenger door handle with a valid key fob in
range, or press the Remote Keyless Entry
(RKE) transmitter LOCK button (refer to “Pas-
sive Entry System” in “Things To Know Before
Starting Your Vehicle” for further information).
To Disarm the System
Vehicles Not Equipped with Keyless
Enter-N-Go
Either press the UNLOCK button on the RKE
transmitter, or insert a valid ignition key into the
ignition switch, and turn the key to the ON/RUN
position.
NOTE:
•The driver’s door key cylinder cannot arm
or disarm the Vehicle Security Alarm.
• When the Vehicle Security Alarm is
armed, the interior power door lock
switches will not unlock the doors. Vehicles Equipped with Keyless
Enter-N-Go
Either press the UNLOCK button on the RKE
transmitter, pull on the front driver or passenger
door handle (refer to “Passive Entry System” in
“Things To Know Before Starting Your Vehicle”
for further information) with a valid key fob in
range, or press the Keyless Enter-N-Go Start/
Stop button (requires at least one valid Key Fob
in the vehicle), or insert a valid Key Fob into the
ignition switch (if the Start/Stop button is re-
moved) and rotate it to the ON/RUN position.
The Vehicle Security Alarm is designed to pro-
tect your vehicle; however, you can create
conditions where the Vehicle Security Alarm will
give you a false alarm. If one of the previously-
described arming sequences has occurred,
the Vehicle Security Alarm will arm, regardless
of whether you are in the vehicle or not. If you
remain in the vehicle and open a door, the
alarm will sound. If this occurs, disarm the
Vehicle Security Alarm.
If the Vehicle Security Alarm is armed, and the
battery becomes disconnected, the Vehicle Security Alarm will remain armed when the
battery is reconnected. The exterior lights will
flash, the horn will sound, and the ignition will
not start the vehicle. If this occurs, disarm the
Vehicle Security Alarm.
ILLUMINATED ENTRYThe interior lights come on when you open any
door or use the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
transmitter to unlock any door. They will remain
on for approximately 30 seconds after all doors
are closed then fade to off.
The lights also will fade to off if you turn on the
ignition after you close all the doors. Refer to
“Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)/
Personal Settings (Customer-Programmable
Features)” in “Understanding Your Instrument
Panel” for further information.
NOTE:
None of the courtesy lights will operate if the
dimmer control is in the “defeat” position
(extreme downward position), unless the
overhead map/reading lights are turned on
manually.

Driver and Front Passenger
Advanced Front Airbag FeaturesThe Advanced Front Airbag system has multi-
stage driver and front passenger airbags. This
system provides output appropriate to the se-
verity and type of collision as determined by
the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC), which
may receive information from the front impact
sensors.
The first stage inflator is triggered immediately
during an impact that requires airbag deploy- ment. This low output is used in less severe
collisions. A higher energy output is used for
more severe collisions.
WARNING!
•
No objects should be placed over or near
the airbag on the instrument panel, be-
cause any such objects could cause harm if
the vehicle is in a collision severe enough
to cause the airbag to inflate.
• Do not put anything on or around the airbag
covers or attempt to open them manually.
You may damage the airbags and you
could be injured because the airbags may
no longer be functional. The protective cov-
ers for the airbag cushions are designed to
open only when the airbags are inflating.
• Do not drill, cut or tamper with the knee
bolster in any way.
• Do not mount any accessories to the knee
bolster such as alarm lights, stereos, citi-
zen band radios, etc. Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Airbags
(SAB)
Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Airbags pro-
vide enhanced protection to help protect an
occupant during a side impact. The Supple-
mental Seat-Mounted Side Airbag is marked
with an airbag label sewn into the outboard
side of the front seats.
When the airbag deploys, it opens the seam
between the front and side of the seat’s trim
cover. Each airbag deploys independently, that
is a left side impact deploys the left airbag only
and a right-side impact deploys only the right
airbag.

When RCP is on and the vehicle is in REVERSE,
the driver is alerted using both the visual and
audible alarms, including reducing the radio
volume.
WARNING!
RCP is not a Back Up Aid system. It is
intended to be used to help a driver detect an
oncoming vehicle in a parking lot situation.
Drivers must be careful when backing up,
even when using RCP. Always check carefully
behind your vehicle, look behind you, and be
sure to check for pedestrians, animals, other
vehicles, obstructions, and blind spots before
backing up. Failure to do so can result in
serious injury or death.
Modes Of OperationThree selectable modes of operation are avail-
able in the Electronic Vehicle Information Center
(EVIC). Refer to “Electronic Vehicle Information
Center (EVIC)/Personal Settings (Customer -
Programmable Features)” in “Understanding
Your Instrument Panel” for further information.
Blind Spot Alert
When operating in Blind Spot Alert mode, the
BSM system will provide a visual alert in the
appropriate side view mirror based on a de-
tected object. However, when the system is
operating in RCP, the system will respond with
both visual and audible alerts when a detected
object is present. Whenever an audible alert is
requested, the radio volume is reduced.
Blind Spot Alert Lights/Chime
When operating in Blind Spot Alert Lights/
Chime, the BSM system will provide a visual
alert in the appropriate side view mirror based
on a detected object. If the turn signal is then
activated, and it corresponds to an alert
present on that side of the vehicle, an audible
chime will also be sounded. Whenever a turn
signal and detected object are present on the
same side at the same time, both the visual and
audio alerts will be issued. In addition to the
audible alert the radio (if on) volume will be
reduced.NOTE:
•
Whenever an audible alert is requested by
the BSM system, the radio volume is re-
duced.
• If the Hazard Flashers are on, the system
will request the appropriate visual alert
only.
When the system is in RCP, the system shall
respond with both visual and audible alerts
when a detected object is present. When-
ever an audible alert is requested, the radio
volume is reduced. Turn/hazard signal status
is ignored; the RCP state always requests
the chime.
Blind Spot Alert Off
When the BSM system is turned off there will be
no visual or audible alerts from either the BSM
or RCP systems.
NOTE:
The BSM system will store the current oper-
ating mode when the vehicle is shut off.
Each time the vehicle is started the previ-
ously stored mode will be recalled and used.

Stationary Objects and Vehicles
ACC does not react to stationary objects and
stationary vehicles. For example, ACC will not
react in situations where the vehicle you are
following exits your lane and the vehicle ahead
is stopped in your lane. Always be attentive and
ready to apply the brakes if necessary.
Normal (Fixed Speed) Cruise
Control Mode
In addition to Adaptive Cruise Control mode, a
normal (fixed speed) Cruise Control mode is
available for cruising at fixed speeds. The
normal Cruise Control mode is designed to
maintain a set cruising speed without requiring
the driver to operate the accelerator. CruiseControl can only be operated if the vehicle
speed is above 25 mph (40 km/h).
To change modes, press the MODE button
when the system is in either the OFF, READY, or
SET position. “Cruise Ready” will be displayed
if the system was in ACC READY or ACC SET
position. “Cruise Off” will be displayed if the
system was in the ACC OFF position. To switch
back to Adaptive Cruise Control mode, press
the MODE button a second time.
WARNING!
In the normal Cruise Control mode, the sys-
tem will not react to vehicles ahead. In addi-
tion, the proximity warning does not activate
and no alarm will sound even if you are too
close to the vehicle ahead since the presence
of the vehicle ahead nor the vehicle-to-vehicle
distance is detected. Be sure to maintain a
safe distance between your vehicle and the
vehicle ahead. Always be aware which mode
is selected.
To set a Desired Speed
When the vehicle reaches the speed desired,
press the SET
-button and release. The EVIC
will display the set speed.
NOTE:
You must observe the display when setting
or changing speed, not the speedometer.
To Vary the Speed Setting
There are two ways to change the set speed:
• Use the accelerator pedal to adjust the ve-
hicle to the desired speed and press the SET
- button.
• Tap the RES +or SET -button to increase or
decrease the set speed in 1 mph (1 km/h)
increments respectively. Hold the RES +or
SET -button for 5 mph (10 km/h) increments.
To Cancel
The system will disable normal Cruise Control
without erasing the memory if:
• You softly tap or depress the brake pedal.
• You press the CANCEL button.
• The Electronic Stability Control/Traction Con-
trol System (ESC/TCS) activates.

23. Electronic Stability Control (ESC) OFF
Indicator Light — If EquippedThis light indicates the Electronic
Stability Control (ESC) is off.
24. Vehicle Security Light This light will flash rapidly for ap-
proximately 15 seconds when the
vehicle theft alarm is arming. The
light will flash at a slower speed
continuously after the alarm is set.
The security light will also come on
for about three seconds when the ignition is first
turned on.
25. Temperature Gauge
The temperature gauge shows engine coolant
temperature. Any reading within the normal
range indicates that the engine cooling system
is operating satisfactorily.
The gauge pointer will likely indicate a higher
temperature when driving in hot weather, up
mountain grades, or when towing a trailer. It should not be allowed to exceed the upper
limits of the normal operating range.
CAUTION!
Driving with a hot engine cooling system could
damage your vehicle. If the temperature
gauge reads “H” pull over and stop the ve-
hicle. Idle the vehicle with the air conditioner
turned off until the pointer drops back into the
normal range. If the pointer remains on the “H”
and you hear continuous chimes, turn the
engine off immediately, and call an authorized
dealership for service.
WARNING!
A hot engine cooling system is dangerous.
You or others could be badly burned by steam
or boiling coolant. You may want to call an
authorized dealership for service if your ve-
hicle overheats. If you decide to look under
the hood yourself, see “Maintaining Your Ve-
hicle”. Follow the warnings under the Cooling
System Pressure Cap paragraph.26. Rear Fog Light Indicator
This indicator will illuminate when the
rear fog lights are on.
