REMOTE START
• Push the REMOTE START buttonon the Key Fob twice within five seconds.
Pushing the REMOTE START button a third time shuts the engine off.
• To drive the vehicle, push the UNLOCK button, insert the key in the ignition and turn to the ON/RUN position.
• With Remote Start, the engine will only run for 15 minutes (timeout) unless the ignition key is placed in the ON/RUN position.
• The vehicle must be started with the key after two consecutive timeouts.
WARNING!
• Do not start or run an engine in a closed garage or confined area. Exhaust gas contains Carbon Monoxide (CO) which is odorless and colorless. Carbon
Monoxide is poisonous and can cause you or others to be severely injured or
killed when inhaled.
• Keep Key Fob transmitters away from children. Operation of the Remote Start
System, windows, door locks or other controls could cause you and others to be
severely injured or killed.
VEHICLE SECURITY ALARM
The Vehicle Security Alarm monitors the vehicle doors for unauthorized entry and the
ignition for unauthorized operation. While the Vehicle Security Alarm is armed,
interior switches for door locks and decklid release are disabled. If something triggers
the alarm, the Vehicle Security Alarm will provide the following audible and visible
signals: the horn will pulse, the park lamps and/or turn signals will flash, and the
Vehicle Security Light in the instrument cluster will flash.
To Arm The System:
Lock the door using either the power door lock switch (one door must be open) or the
LOCK button on the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter (doors can be open or
closed), and close all doors.
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:
• The Vehicle Security Alarm will not arm if you lock the doors with the manual door
lock plungers.
• Once armed, the Vehicle Security Alarm disables the unlock switch on the driver door trim panel and passenger door trim panel.

Supplemental Side Air Bags
• This vehicle is equipped with Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Air Bags (SABs)that are located in the outboard side of the front seats. The SABs are marked with
a SRS AIRBAG or AIRBAG label sewn into the outboard side of the seats.
• SABs are designed to activate in certain side impacts. The Occupant Restraint Controller (“ORC”) determines whether the deployment of the SAB in a particular
impact event is appropriate, based on the severity and type of collision. Vehicle
damage by itself is not a good indicator of whether or not SABs should have
deployed.
WARNING!
• SABs need room to inflate. Do not lean against the door or window. Sit upright in the center of the seat.
• Being too close to the SABs during deployment could cause you to be severely
injured or killed.
• Relying on the SABs alone could lead to more severe injuries in a collision. The
SABs work with your seat belt to restrain you properly. In some collisions, SABs
won’t deploy at all. Always wear your seat belt even though you have SABs.
• Do not use accessory seat covers or place objects between you and the SABs;
the performance could be adversely affected and/or objects could be pushed
into you, causing serious injury.
Enhanced Accident Response System
In the event of an impact, if the communication network remains intact, and the
power remains intact, depending on the nature of the event, the ORC will determine
whether to have the Enhanced Accident Response System perform the following
functions:
• Cut off fuel to the engine.
• Flash hazard lights as long as the battery has power or until the hazard light button
is pushed. The hazard lights can be deactivated by pushing the hazard light
button.
• Turn on the interior lights, which remain on as long as the battery has power.
• Unlock the power door locks.
Enhanced Accident Response System Reset Procedure
In order to reset the Enhanced Accident Response System functions after an event,
the ignition switch must be changed from ignition START or ON/RUN to ignition OFF.
Carefully check the vehicle for fuel leaks in the engine compartment and on the
ground near the engine compartment and fuel tank before resetting the system and
starting the engine.

Air Bag Warning Light
• The air bags must be ready to inflate for your protection in a collision. TheOccupant Restraint Controller (ORC) monitors the internal circuits and intercon-
necting wiring associated with air bag system electrical components.
• The ORC monitors the readiness of the electronic parts of the air bag system whenever the ignition switch is in the START or ON/RUN position. If the ignition
switch is in the OFF position or in the ACC position, the air bag system is not on
and the air bags will not inflate.
• The ORC turns on the Air Bag Warning Light in the instrument panel for approximately four to eight seconds for a self-check when the ignition switch is
first turned to the ON/RUN position. After the self-check, the Air Bag Warning
Light will turn off. If the ORC detects a malfunction in any part of the system, it
turns on the Air Bag Warning Light, either momentarily or continuously. A single
chime will sound to alert you if the light comes on again after initial startup.
• If the Air Bag Warning Light in the instrument panel is not on during the four to eight seconds when the ignition switch is first turned to the ON/RUN position,
stays on, or turns on while driving, have the vehicle serviced by an authorized
service center immediately.
NOTE:
If the speedometer, tachometer, or any engine related gauges are not working, the
Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) may also be disabled. In this condition the air
bags may not be ready to inflate for your protection. Have an authorized dealer
service the air bag system immediately.
Event Data Recorder (EDR)
This vehicle is equipped with an event data recorder (EDR). The main purpose of an
EDR is to record, in certain crash or near crash-like situations, such as an air bag
deployment or hitting a road obstacle, data that will assist in understanding how a
vehicle’s systems performed. The EDR is designed to record data related to vehicle
dynamics and safety systems for a short period of time, typically 30 seconds or less.
The EDR in this vehicle is designed to record such data as:
• How various systems in your vehicle were operating;
• Whether or not the driver and passenger safety belts were buckled/fastened;
• How far (if at all) the driver was depressing the accelerator and/or brake pedal; and,
• How fast the vehicle was traveling.
These data can help provide a better understanding of the circumstances in which
crashes and injuries occur.

ENGINE BREAK-IN RECOMMENDATIONS
A long break-in period is not required for the engine and drivetrain (transmission and
axle) in your vehicle.
Drive moderately during the first 300 miles (500 km). After the initial 60 miles
(100 km), speeds up to 50 or 55 mph (80 or 90 km/h) are desirable.
While cruising, brief full-throttle acceleration within the limits of local traffic laws
contributes to a good break-in. Wide-open throttle acceleration in low gear can be
detrimental and should be avoided.
The engine oil installed in the engine at the factory is a high-quality energy
conserving type lubricant. Oil changes should be consistent with anticipated climate
conditions under which vehicle operations will occur. Refer to “Maintaining Your
Vehicle,” for the recommended viscosity and quality grades.
NOTE:
A new engine may consume some oil during its first few thousand miles (kilometers)
of operation. This should be considered a normal part of the break-in and not
interpreted as an indication of an engine problem or malfunction.
CAUTION!
Never use Non-Detergent Oil or Straight Mineral Oil in the engine or damage may
result.
TURN SIGNAL/LIGHTS LEVER
Headlights And Parking Lights
Turn the end of the multifunction lever to
the first detent for parking light opera-
tion. Turn to the second detent for head-
light operation.
Instrument Panel Dimmer
• Rotate the center portion of the leverto the extreme bottom position to fully
dim the instrument panel lights and
prevent the interior lights from illumi-
nating when a door is opened.
• Rotate the center portion of the lever up to increase the brightness of the
instrument panel lights when the park-
ing lights or headlights are on.

WIPER/WASHER LEVER
Windshield Wiper Operation
Rotate the end of the lever upward to the
second detent past the intermittent set-
tings for low-speed wiper operation. Ro-
tate the end of the lever upward to the
third detent past the intermittent settings
for high-speed wiper operation.
CAUTION!
In cold weather, always turn off the wiper switch and allow the wipers to return to
the park position before turning off the engine. If the wiper switch is left on and the
wipers freeze to the windshield, damage to the wiper motor may occur when the
vehicle is restarted.
Intermittent Wiper System
Use the intermittent wiper when weather conditions make a single wiping cycle, with
a variable pause between cycles, desirable. Rotate the end of the lever to the first
detent position for one of five intermittent settings. The delay cycle can be set
anywhere between 1 to 18 seconds.
NOTE:
The wiper delay times depend on vehicle speed. If the vehicle is moving less than
10 mph (16 km/h), delay times will be doubled.
Windshield Washers
To use the washer, pull the lever toward you and hold while spray is desired. If the
lever is pulled while in the delay range, the wiper will start and continue to operate
for two or three wipe cycles after the lever is released, and then resume the
intermittent interval previously selected.
If the lever is pulled while in the off position, the wipers will operate for two or three
wipe cycles and then turn off.

POWER OUTLETS
There are three possible 12 Volt Power Outlets in this vehicle.
• The front 12 Volt power outlet is located below the climate controls in the CenterConsole, and is powered when the ignition switch is in the ON/RUN position. The
outlet can operate a conventional cigar lighter unit or power accessories designed
for use with a standard power outlet adapter.
• The center console 12 Volt power outlet is powered directly from the battery (power available at all times). Items plugged into this outlet may discharge the
battery and/or prevent the engine from starting.

• On vehicles equipped with a rear subwoofer, there is also a 12 Volt power outletlocated in the rear cargo area of the vehicle. This power outlet has power available
directly from the battery (power available at all times). Items plugged into this
outlet also may discharge the battery and/or prevent the engine from starting.
NOTE: •
Do not exceed the maximum power of160 Watts (13 Amps) at 12 Volts. If
the 160 Watt (13 Amp) power rating is
exceeded the fuse protecting the sys-
tem will need to be replaced.
• Power outlets are designed for ac-
cessory plugs only. Do not insert any
other object in the power outlet as
this will damage the outlet and blow
the fuse. Improper use of the power
outlet can cause damage not cov-
ered by your new vehicle warranty.
