Reclining Seatbacks
{CAUTION:
You can lose control of the vehicle if you
try to adjust a manual driver’s seat while
the vehicle is moving. The sudden
movement could startle and confuse you,
or make you push a pedal when you do
not want to. Adjust the driver’s seat only
when the vehicle is not moving.
{CAUTION:
If the seatback is not locked, it could
move forward in a sudden stop or crash.
That could cause injury to the person
sitting there. Always push and pull on the
seatback to be sure it is locked.The seats have manual reclining seatbacks. The
lever used to operate them is located on the
outboard side of the seats.
To adjust the seatback, lean slightly forward to lift
your weight off the seatback. Pull completely
up on the lever until it stops, and lean back to
position the seatback to where you want it.
Release the lever to lock the seatback into place.

Arming the System
To arm the system:
Press the lock button on the keyless access
transmitter.
Open the door. Lock the door with the power
door lock switch. The security light should ash.
Remove the keyless access transmitter from
inside the vehicle and close the door. The
security light will stop ashing and stay on.
After 30 seconds, the light should turn off.
The vehicle can be programmed to
automatically lock the doors and arm the
theft-deterrent system when you exit the
vehicle. SeeDIC Vehicle Personalization
on page 234.
Now, if a door or the hatch/trunk is opened without
the keyless access transmitter, the alarm will go off.
Your horn will sound for two minutes, then it will go
off to save battery power. Your vehicle will not start
without a keyless access transmitter present.
The theft-deterrent system will not arm if you
lock the driver’s door with the power door
lock switch after the doors are closed.If your passenger stays in the vehicle when you
leave with the keyless access transmitter, have the
passenger lock the vehicle after the doors are
closed. This way the alarm will not arm, and
your passenger will not set it off.Testing the Alarm
To test the system:
1. Make sure the trunk lid/hatch is latched.
2. Lower the window on the driver’s door.
3. Manually arm the system.
4. Close the doors and wait 30 seconds.
5. Reach through the open window and manually
pull the release lever on the oor.
6. Turn off the alarm by pressing the unlock
button on the transmitter.
If the alarm is inoperative, check to see if the horn
works. If not, check the horn fuse. SeeFuses and
Circuit Breakers on page 419. If the horn works, but
the alarm doesn’t go off, see your dealer/retailer.

Turn and Lane-Change Signals
(Auto Signal)
The turn signal has two upward (for right) and
two downward (for left) positions. These positions
allow you to signal a turn or a lane change.
To signal a turn, move the multifunction lever all
the way up or down. When the turn is nished,
the lever will return automatically.
An arrow on the
instrument panel
cluster will ash in
the direction of the
turn or lane change.To signal a lane change, just raise or lower the
lever until the arrow starts to ash. Release
the lever and the turn signal will automatically ash
three times. If more ashes are desired, continue
to hold the lever.
If you signal a turn or a lane change and the
arrows ash faster than normal, a signal bulb may
be burned out.
If a bulb is burned out, replace it to help avoid an
accident. If the arrows do not go on at all when
you signal a turn, check the fuses and check
for burned-out bulbs. SeeFuses and Circuit
Breakers on page 419.
Turn Signal on Chime
A chime will remind you if you leave the turn
signal on for more than three-quarters of a mile
(1.2 km) of driving.
If you need to leave the turn signal on for more
than three-quarters of a mile (1.2 km), turn off the
signal and then turn it back on.

It is possible for sunlight to enter the HUD
making it difficult to see the image. The display

of six languages including English, Spanish,
French, German, Italian or Japanese. The
speedometer can be displayed in either
English or Metric units.To change the language and unit selections, see
“OPTION” underDIC Controls and Displays
on page 208.
Clean the inside of the windshield as needed to
remove any dirt or lm that reduces the sharpness
or clarity of the HUD image.
To clean the HUD, spray household glass cleaner
on a soft, clean cloth. Wipe the HUD lens gently,
then dry it. Do not spray cleaner directly on the lens
because the cleaner could leak into the unit.
If the ignition is on and you can not see the HUD
image, check to see if:
Something is covering the HUD unit.
The HUD dimmer control is adjusted properly.
The HUD image is adjusted to the proper
height.
Ambient light is low, in the direction your
vehicle is facing.
A fuse is blown. SeeFuses and Circuit
Breakers on page 419.

Accessory Power Outlet(s)
The accessory power outlet can be used to
connect electrical equipment such as a cellular
phone or CB radio.
The accessory power outlet is located inside the
center console storage compartment, on the
forward left side.
To use the outlet, remove the tethered cap. When
not using it, always cover the outlet with the
protective cap.
Notice:Leaving electrical equipment plugged
in for an extended period of time while the
vehicle is off will drain the battery. Power is
always supplied to the outlets. Always unplug
electrical equipment when not in use and
do not plug in equipment that exceeds
the maximum 20 ampere rating.
Certain electrical accessories may not be
compatible with the accessory power outlet and
could result in blown vehicle or adapter fuses.
If you experience a problem, see your dealer for
additional information on accessory power outlets.Notice:Adding any electrical equipment to
your vehicle may damage it or keep other
components from working as they should.
The repairs would not be covered by your
warranty. Do not use equipment exceeding
maximum amperage rating of 20 amperes.
Check with your dealer/retailer before adding
electrical equipment.
When adding electrical equipment, be sure to
follow the installation instructions included with the
equipment.
We recommend that you see a qualied technician
or your dealer for the proper installation of your
equipment.

Loose objects, such as paper clips, can lodge
behind and beneath the ashtray lid and prevent
movement of the lid. You should avoid putting
small, loose objects near the ashtray.
To use the cigarette lighter, push it in all the way
and let go. When it is ready, it will pop back
out by itself.
Notice:Holding a cigarette lighter in while
it is heating does not let the lighter back
away from the heating element when it is hot.
Damage from overheating can occur to the
lighter or heating element, or a fuse could
be blown. Do not hold a cigarette lighter
in while it is heating.
