VEHICLE SECURITY ALARM
This Vehicle Security Alarm monitors the doors, liftgate, and ignition switch for unauthorized
operation.
When the alarm is activated, the interior switches for door locks are disabled. The Vehicle
Security Alarm provides both audio and visual signals repeatedly for three minutes. If the
disturbance is still present (driver's door, passenger door, other doors, ignition) after three
minutes, the parking lights and tail lights will flash for an additional 15 minutes.
To Arm:
• Lock the door using either the power door lock switch (one door must be open) or the LOCKbutton on the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter (doors can be open or closed), and
close all doors.
NOTE:
The Vehicle Security Alarm will not arm if you lock the doors with the manual door lock rocker
button.
The Vehicle Security Light in the instrument cluster will flash for 16 seconds. This shows that the
Vehicle Security Alarm is arming. During this period, if a door is opened, the ignition is cycled to
ON/RUN, or the power door locks are unlocked in any manner, the Vehicle Security Alarm will
automatically disarm.
NOTE:
Once armed, the Vehicle Security Alarm disables the unlock switch on the driver door trim panel
and passenger door trim panel.
To Disarm The System:
• Push the Key Fob UNLOCK button or cycle the ignition to the ON/RUN position.
The Vehicle Security Alarm is designed to protect 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,
and the horn will sound. If this occurs, disarm the Vehicle Security Alarm.

SEAT BELT SYSTEMS
Lap/Shoulder Belts
• All seating positions in your vehicle are equipped with lap/shoulder belts.
• Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat and using a seat belt properly.
• Position the lap belt so that it is snug and lies low across your hips, below your abdomen. Toremove slack in the lap belt portion, pull up on the shoulder belt. To loosen the lap belt if it is
too tight, tilt the latch plate and pull on the lap belt. A snug seat belt reduces the risk of sliding
under the seat belt in a collision.
• Position the shoulder belt across the shoulder and chest with minimal, if any slack so that it is comfortable and not resting on your neck. The retractor will withdraw any slack in the shoulder
belt.
Seat Belt Pretensioner
• The front seat belt system is equipped with pretensioning devices that are designed to removeslack from the seat belt in the event of a collision.
• A deployed pretensioner or a deployed air bag must be replaced immediately.
WARNING!
• In a collision, you and your passengers can suffer much greater injuries if you are not properly buckled up. You can strike the interior of your vehicle or other passengers, or you
can be thrown out of the vehicle. Always be sure you and others in your vehicle are buckled
up properly.
• A shoulder belt placed behind you will not protect you from injury during a collision. You
are more likely to hit your head in a collision if you do not wear your shoulder belt. The lap
and shoulder belt are meant to be used together.
• A seat belt that is too loose will not protect you properly. In a sudden stop, you could move
too far forward, increasing the possibility of injury. Wear your seat belt snugly.
• A frayed or torn seat belt could rip apart in a collision and leave you with no protection.
Inspect the seat belt system periodically, checking for cuts, frays, or loose parts. Damaged
parts must be replaced immediately. Do not disassemble or modify the system. Seat belt
assemblies must be replaced after a collision.
