Security System
Form No. 8Q44-EA-01K
The optional theft-deterrent system is
designed to prevent your vehicle or its
contents from being stolen when all the
doors, hood, and liftgate are locked.
If forcible entry is attempted, the system
sounds the horn and flashes the hazard
warning lights.
The system won’t function unless it’s
properly armed. So when you leave the
vehicle, lock all the doors and the liftgate,
close all the windows, take your key, your
transmitter, and make sure the security
indicator light is flashing.

Operation
What turns it on:
•Forcing open a door, the hood or the
liftgate.
•Opening a door or the hood by
operating an inside door-lock button or
the hood release handle.
What it does:
•The horn sounds intermittently and the
hazard warning lights flash.
•The alarm continues for about 3
minutes, then stops.
If the system is triggered again, the lights
and horn will activate until a door or the
liftgate is unlocked with the key or with
the transmitter.

How to Arm the System
1. Remove the ignition key.
2. Close the hood. Then close all doors
and the liftgate and lock them from the
outside using the key in the door. If you
have the keyless entry system, press the
LOCK button on the transmitter. The
hazard warning lights will flash one
time to indicate that the system is
armed.
The following method will also arm the
theft-deterrent system:
Close the hood. Press the area on the
door-lock switch marked "DOOR
LOCK" once. Close all doors and the
liftgate.
3. The indicator light flashes once every 3
seconds to indicate that the system is
fully armed. It continues to flash until
the theft-deterrent system is turned off.
Theft-Deterrent System
NOTE
The theft-deterrent system operates
without the keyless entry system
transmitter, as well.
NOTE
Locking the doors with the inside
door-lock button will not arm the
system.

Maintenance and Care
Owner Maintenance
Form No. 8Q44-EA-01K
All moving points of the body, such as
door and hood hinges and locks, should
be lubricated each time the engine oil is
changed. Use a nonfreezing lubricant on
locks during cold weather.
Make sure the engine hood’s secondary
latch keeps the hood from opening when
the primary latch is released.This air filter may be cleaned with
compressed air and reused, or replaced,
depending on its condition. Unless it is
very dirty, simply shake it to remove
foreign particles. Each time you inspect it,
wipe inside the air cleaner housing with a
damp cloth.

Replacing the Air Filter
1. Remove the bolt and unfasten the
clamps on the air cleaner housing.
Body LubricationAir Filter
Don’t drive without an air filter. This
could result in excessive engine wear.
NOTE
If the vehicle is operated in very dusty
or sandy areas, replace the filter more
often than recommended intervals.
