Vehicles Equipped With Keyless Enter-N-Go™
Press the Keyless Enter-N-Go™ Start/Stop button until the Electronic Vehicle Information
Center (EVIC) indicates that the vehicle ignition is "OFF" (refer to “Starting Procedures” in
“Starting And Operating” for further information). Then either press the power door LOCK
switch while the driver or passenger door is open, press the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
transmitter LOCK button or press the Passive Entry Door Handle LOCK button (refer to
“Keyless Enter-N-Go™” in “Things To Know Before Starting Your Vehicle” for further infor-
mation).
To Disarm The System
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.
Vehicles Not Equipped With Keyless Enter-N-Go™
Either press the UNLOCK button on the RKE transmitter or insert a valid ignition key into the
ignition switch and turn the key to the ON/RUN position.
NOTE:
• The driver's door key cylinder and the trunk button on the RKE transmitter cannot arm ordisarm the Vehicle Security Alarm.
• The Vehicle Security Alarm remains armed during trunk entry. Pressing the TRUNK button will not disarm the Vehicle Security Alarm. If someone enters the vehicle through
the trunk, and opens any door, the alarm will sound.
• When the Vehicle Security Alarm is armed, the interior power door lock switches will not unlock the doors.
Vehicles Equipped With Keyless Enter-N-Go™
Either press the UNLOCK button on the RKE transmitter or grasp the Passive Entry Unlock
Door Handle (refer to “Keyless Enter-N-Go™” in “Things To Know Before Starting Your
Vehicle” for further information), press the Keyless Enter-N-Go™ Start/Stop button (re-
quires at least one valid Key Fob in the vehicle), or insert a valid Key Fob into the ignition
switch (if the Start/Stop button is removed) and rotate it to the ON/RUN position.
Tamper Alert
If something has triggered the Vehicle Security Alarm in your absence, the horn will sound
three times and the exterior lights will blink three times when you disarm the Vehicle
Security Alarm. Check the vehicle for tampering.

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WARNING LIGHTS
- Electronic Stability Control (ESC) Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light
• The “ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light” in the instrument cluster will come on when the ignition switch is turned to the ON/RUN position. It should go out with the
engine running. If the “ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light” comes on continu-
ously with the engine running, a malfunction has been detected in the ESC system.
• If this light remains on after several ignition cycles, and the vehicle has been driven several miles (kilometers) at speeds greater than 30 mph (48 km/h), we recommend you
drive to the nearest service center and have the vehicle serviced immediately.
- Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Light
• Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should be checked monthly, when cold and inflated to the inflation pressure recommended by the vehicle manufacturer on the
vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label. (If your vehicle has tires of a different size
than the size indicated on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label, you should
determine the proper tire inflation pressure for those tires.)
• As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with a Tire Pressure Moni- toring System (TPMS) that illuminates a low tire pressure telltale when one or more of
your tires is significantly under-inflated. Accordingly, when the low tire pressure telltale
illuminates, you should stop and check your tires as soon as possible, and inflate them to
the proper pressure. Driving on a significantly under-inflated tire causes the tire to
overheat and can lead to tire failure. Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency and tire
tread life, and may affect the vehicle’s handling and stopping ability.
• IF THE LIGHT STARTS FLASHING INDICATING A LOW TIRE PRESSURE, ADJUST THE AIR
PRESSURE IN THE LOW TIRE TO THE AIR PRESSURE SHOWN ON THE VEHICLE PLAC-
ARD OR TIRE INFLATION PRESSURE LABEL LOCATED ON THE DRIVER'S DOOR.
NOTE:
AFTER INFLATION, THE VEHICLE MAY NEED TO BE DRIVEN FOR 20 MINUTES BEFORE THE
FLASHING LIGHT WILL TURN OFF.
• Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire maintenance, and it is the driver’s responsibility to maintain correct tire pressure, even if under-inflation has not
reached the level to trigger illumination of the TPMS low tire pressure telltale.
WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES
