VEHICLE SECURITY ALARM SYSTEM — IF
EQUIPPED
The Vehicle Security Alarm monitors the doors and
decklid for unauthorized entry and the ignition for
unauthorized operation. If something triggers the alarm,
the Vehicle Security Alarm will prevent the vehicle from
starting. It will also emit an acoustic signal and flash the
park lights, and taillights.
Operation
The alarm activates in the following cases:
1. Wrongful opening of one of the doors or the decklid
(perimeter protection);2. Wrongful operation of the ignition switch (key turned
to MAR-ON);
3. Cutting of the battery leads;
4. Movement inside the passenger compartment (volu-
metric protection);
5. Anomalous lifting/tilting of the car.
Operation of the alarm is indicated by an acoustic and
visual signal (flashing of the direction indicators for
several seconds). The alarm activation modes may vary
according to the market. There is a maximum number of
acoustic/visual cycles. When this is reached the system
returns to normal operation.

SABICs are designed to activate in certain side impacts.
The Occupant Restraint Controller (“ORC”) determines
whether the deployment of the SABIC in a particular
impact event is appropriate, based on the severity and
type of collision. The side impact sensors aid the ORC in
determining the appropriate response to impact events.
The system is calibrated to deploy the SABIC on the
impact side of the vehicle during impacts that require
SABIC occupant protection. In side impacts, the SABICs
deploy independently; a left side impact deploys the left
side SABIC only and a right-side impact deploys the
right side SABIC only. Vehicle damage by itself is not a
good indicator of whether or not SABICs should have
deployed.
SABICs will not deploy in all side collisions, including
some collisions at certain angles, or some side collisions
that do not impact the area of the passenger compart-
ment. SABICs may deploy during angled or offset frontal
collisions where the Advanced Front Air Bags deploy.SABICs are a supplement to the seat belt restraint system.
SABICs deploy in less time than it takes to blink your
eyes. Occupants, including children, who are up against
or very close to SABICs can be seriously injured or killed.
Occupants, including children, should never lean on or
sleep against the door, side windows, or area where the
side air bags inflate, even if they are in an infant or child
restraint.
Seat belts (and child restraints where appropriate) are
necessary for your protection in all collisions. They also
help keep you in position, away from an inflating SABIC.
To get the best protection from the SABICs, occupants
must wear their seat belts properly and sit upright with
their backs against the seats. Children must be properly
restrained in a child restraint or booster seat that is
appropriate for the size of the child.

skin, eyes, nose, or throat. If you have skin or eye
irritation, rinse the area with cool water. For nose or
throat irritation, move to fresh air. If the irritation
continues, see your doctor. If these particles settle on
your clothing, follow the garment manufacturer ’s in-
structions for cleaning.
Do not drive your vehicle after the air bags have de-
ployed. If you are involved in another collision, the air
bags will not be in place to protect you.
WARNING!
Deployed air bags and seat belt pretensioners cannot
protect you in another collision. Have the air bags,
seat belt pretensioners, and the seat belt retractor
assemblies replaced by an authorized dealer imme-
diately. Also, have the Occupant Restraint Controller
System serviced as well.NOTE:
•Air bag covers may not be obvious in the interior trim,
but they will open during air bag deployment.
•After any collision, the vehicle should be taken to an
authorized dealer immediately.
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 Sys-
tem perform the following functions:
•Cut off fuel to the engine.
•Flash hazard lights as long as the battery has power or
until the ignition is cycled to OFF.

NOTE:The passenger side convex outside mirror will
give a much wider view to the rear, and especially of the
lane next to your vehicle.
WARNING!
Vehicles and other objects seen in the passenger side
convex mirror will look smaller and farther away
than they really are. Relying too much on your
passenger side mirror could cause you to collide with
another vehicle or other object. Use your inside
mirror when judging the size or distance of a vehicle
seen in the passenger side mirror.
Power Mirrors
The power mirror controls are located on the center
console.The power mirror controls consist of mirror select knob
and a four-way mirror control switch. To adjust a mirror,
turn the power mirror control knob to the left or right to
select the mirror that you want to adjust.
Using the mirror control switch, press on any of the four
arrows for the direction that you want the mirror to move.

If several obstacles are detected by the sensors, only the
nearest one is considered.
Indications On Display — If Equipped
When the sensors are activated, the screen appears on the
display.Obstacle presence and distance information is therefore
provided both by the acoustic signal and the instrument
panel display.
The system indicates a detected obstacle by displaying an
arc in one or more positions according to the distance of
the obstacle and its position in relation to the car.
If an obstacle is detected in the rear central area, the
display shows all the arcs in the rear central area, up to
the one that corresponds to the position of the obstacle
itself.
The signal is similar for obstacles in the rear left or right
area.
The arc that corresponds to the position of the obstacle
will flash.
The color on the display depends on the distance from
and position of the obstacle.

NOTE:The sensor must be free from mud, dirt snow or
ice in order for the system to operate correctly. Be careful
not to scratch or damage the sensors while cleaning them.
Avoid using dry, rough or hard cloths. The sensors must be
washed using clean water, with the addition of car sham-
poo if necessary. When using special washing equipment
such as high pressure jets or steam cleaning, clean the
sensors very quickly keeping the jet more than 4 in (10 cm)
away. Also, do not apply stickers to the sensors.
CAUTION!
•The Parking Sensor system is only a parking aid
and it is unable to recognize every obstacle, includ-
ing small obstacles. Parking curbs might be tem-
porarily detected or not detected at all. Obstacles
located above or below the sensors will not be
detected when they are in close proximity
(Continued)
CAUTION!(Continued)
•The vehicle must be driven slowly when using the
Parking Sensor system in order to be able to stop in
time when an obstacle is detected. It is recom-
mended that the driver looks over his/her shoulder
when using the Parking Sensor system.
WARNING!
Drivers must be careful when backing up even when
using the Parking Sensor system. Always check care-
fully behind your vehicle, and be sure to check for
pedestrians, animals, other vehicles, obstructions, or
blind spots before backing up. You are responsible
for the safety of your surroundings and must con-
tinue to pay attention while backing up. Failure to do
so can result in serious injury or death.
