Visor Vanity Mirror
You may have visor vanity mirrors, with or without
lamps. Lift the mirror cover to turn the lamps
on, if you have them.
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.
Passlock®
Your vehicle is equipped with the Passlock®
theft-deterrent system.
Passlock
®is a passive theft-deterrent system.
Passlock®enables fuel if the ignition lock cylinder
is turned with a valid key. If a correct key is not
used or the ignition lock cylinder is tampered with,
fuel is disabled.During normal operation, the SECURITY light will
go off approximately five seconds after the key
is turned to RUN. SeeSecurity Light on page 183.
If the engine stalls and the SECURITY light flashes,
wait until the light stops flashing before trying to
restart the engine. Remember to release the key
from START as soon as the engine starts.
If the engine is running and the SECURITY light
comes on, you will be able to restart the engine if
you turn the engine off. However, your Passlock
®
system is not working properly and must be
serviced by your dealer/retailer. Your vehicle is not
protected by Passlock
®at this time. You may
also want to check the fuse. SeeFuses and Circuit
Breakers on page 393. See your dealer/retailer
for service.
Do not leave the key or device that disarms
or deactivates the theft deterrent system in
the vehicle.

Turn and Lane-Change Signals
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 lever all the way up or
down. When the turn is finished, the lever will
return automatically.An arrow on the
instrument panel cluster
will flash 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 flash. Hold it
there until you complete your lane change. The
lever will return by itself when you release it.
If you move the lever all the way up or down, and
the arrow flashes at twice the normal rate, a
signal bulb may be burned out and other drivers
may not see your turn signal.
If a bulb is burned out, replace it to help avoid an
accident. If the arrows don’t go on at all when
you signal a turn, check for burned-out bulbs or a
blown fuse. SeeFuses and Circuit Breakers on
page 393.

Certain power accessory plugs may not be
compatible to 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 the accessory
power plugs.
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 proper installation instructions included
with the equipment.
Notice:Improper use of the power outlet
can cause damage not covered by your
warranty. Do not hang any type of accessory
or accessory bracket from the plug because
the power outlets are designed for accessory
power plugs only.Ashtray(s) and Cigarette Lighter
Your vehicle may have this feature. The front
ashtray can be placed in the instrument panel
extension at the center of the instrument panel.
Lift up on the ashtray door to open it.
Notice:If you put papers, pins, or other
ammable items in the ashtray, hot cigarettes
or other smoking materials could ignite
them and possibly damage your vehicle.
Never put ammable items in the ashtray.
To use the cigarette lighter, push it in all the way
and let go. When it’s 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.

Electrical System
Add-On Electrical Equipment
Notice:Do not add anything electrical to your
vehicle unless you check with your dealer
rst. Some electrical equipment can damage
your vehicle and the damage would not
be covered by your warranty. Some add-on
electrical equipment can keep other
components from working as they should.
Your vehicle has an air bag system. Before
attempting to add anything electrical to your
vehicle, seeServicing Your Airbag-Equipped
Vehicle on page 96.
Headlamp Wiring
The headlamp wiring is protected by fuses in the
engine compartment fuse block. An electrical
overload will cause the lamps to flicker on and off,
or in some cases to remain off. If this happens,
have your headlamp wiring checked right away.
Windshield Wiper Fuses
The windshield wiper motor is protected by a
circuit breaker and a fuse. If the motor overheats
due to heavy snow, etc., the wiper will stop
until the motor cools. Although the circuit is
protected from electrical overload, overload due
to heavy snow, etc., may cause wiper linkage
damage. Always clear ice and heavy snow from
the windshield before using the windshield wipers.
If the overload is caused by some electrical
problem and not snow, etc., be sure to get it fixed.
Fuses and Circuit Breakers
The wiring circuits in your vehicle are protected
from short circuits by a combination of fuses
and circuit breakers. This greatly reduces
the chance of fires caused by electrical problems.
Look at the silver-colored band inside the fuse.
If the band is broken or melted, replace the fuse.
Be sure you replace a bad fuse with a new
one of the identical size and rating.
