open or if electrical wiring or other cable
connections must pass through the seal
between the body and the trunk lid:
Make sure all other windows are shut.
Turn the fan on your heating or
cooling system to its highest speed

Lighted Visor Vanity Mirror
Your sun visors may have lighted vanity mirrors.
When you open the cover to the visor vanity
mirror, the lamp will turn on.
Theft-Deterrent Systems
Vehicle theft is big business, especially in some
cities. Although your vehicle has a number of
theft-deterrent features, we know that nothing we
put on it can make it impossible to steal.
Content Theft-Deterrent
Your vehicle may have the optional content
theft-deterrent alarm system.
To activate the theft-deterrent system:
1. Open the door.
2. Lock the door with the power door lock switch
or the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter.
If you are using the RKE transmitter, the door
does not need to be open.
3. Close all doors.Once armed, the alarm will go off if someone
tries to enter the vehicle without using the RKE
transmitter or a key or turns the ignition on with an
incorrect key. The horn will sound and the turn
signal lamps will ash for about two minutes.
When the alarm is armed, the trunk may be opened
with the RKE transmitter. The power door lock
switches are disabled and the doors remain locked.
You must use your RKE transmitter or your key to
unlock the doors when the system is armed.
Arming with the Power Lock Switch
The alarm system will arm when you use either
power lock switch to lock the doors while any door
or the trunk is open and the key is removed
from the ignition.
Arming with the RKE Transmitter
The alarm system will arm when you use your
RKE transmitter to lock the doors, if the key is not

result of the 25 second timer or the ignition switch
being turned on, the lighting will deactivate by way
of the theater dimming effect. Locking the doors will
override the delayed entry lighting feature and the
lamps will turn off right away.
