VEHICLE SECURITY
SYSTEM — IF EQUIPPED
The Vehicle Security system monitors the vehicle
doors, hood, trunk, and the keyless push button
ignition for unauthorized operation. It also
monitors movement inside the passenger
compartment (volumetric protection — if
equipped), cutting of battery cables, and
unexpected lifting/tilting of the vehicle (anti-lift
protection — if equipped).
While the Vehicle Security system is armed,
interior switches for door locks and trunk release
are disabled.
If something triggers the alarm, the Vehicle
Security system will provide the following audible
and visible signals:
The horn will pulse
The turn signals will flash
The Vehicle Security Light in the instrument
cluster will flash

NOTE:
The Vehicle Security system is activated by the
Engine Immobilizer system, which is automati-
cally activated when you get out of the vehicle
with the key fob and lock the doors.

When the Vehicle Security system is armed,
the interior power door lock switches will not
unlock the doors.
The Vehicle Security system is designed to
protect your vehicle. However, you can create
conditions where the system will give you a false
alarm. If one of the previously described arming
sequences has occurred, the Vehicle Security
system 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 system.
If the Vehicle Security system is armed and the
battery becomes disconnected, the Vehicle
Security system will remain armed when the
battery is reconnected; the exterior lights will
flash, and the horn will sound. If this occurs,
disarm the Vehicle Security system.

NOTE:

RAIN SENSING WIPERS
This feature senses rain or snowfall on the
windshield and automatically activates the
wipers. The Rain Sensor is located behind the
interior rearview mirror.Rain Sensor
Rotate the end of the multifunction lever to one of
four settings to activate this feature.
The sensor has an adjustment range that varies
progressively from wiper still (no stroke) when the
windshield is dry, to wiper at continuous speed
(fast operation) with intense rain.
Activation
Rotating the wiper switch to the Low Sensitivity
Rain Sensing position (4) or High Sensitivity Rain
Sensing position (3) activates the rain sensor.
The activation of the rain sensor system is done
by tapping the wiper stalk upwards while the
switch is in the Low Sensitivity Rain Sensing
position (4) or High Sensitivity Rain Sensing
position (3). The variation in sensitivity during rain sensor
operation is also signaled by a stroke of the
wiper.
If the windshield washer is used with the rain
sensor activated, the normal washing cycle is
performed, and then the rain sensor resumes its
normal automatic operation.

NOTE:

Keep the glass in the sensor area clean.
With the windshield wiper lever in the Low
Sensitivity Rain Sensing position (4) or High
Sensitivity Rain Sensing position (3), wiping
operates automatically and is disabled when
the outside temperature is below 32°F (0°C).
Deactivation
To turn off the Rain Sensing Wipers, use the wiper
switch or place the ignition in the OFF position.
In the event of malfunction of the rain sensor
while it is active, the windshield wiper operates
intermittently at a speed consistent with the
sensitivity setting of the rain sensor, whether or
not there is rain on the glass for as long as the
sensor failure is indicated on the display.
The sensor continues to operate and it is possible
to set the windshield wiper to continuous mode
(1 or 2). The failure indication remains on for as
long as the sensor is active. The rain sensor is able to recognize and automat
-
ically adjust itself in the presence of the following
conditions:
Presence of dirt on the controlled surface (salt,
dirt, etc.).
Presence of streaks of water caused by the
worn window wiper blades.
Difference between day and night.
