AND EQUIPMENT
• Certification
The remote control device complies with
Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is sub
ject to the following conditions:
1 - this device may not cause harmful in
terfere nce, and
2 - this device must accept any interfer
ence received, including interference
that may cause undesir ed operation.
The manufacturer is not responsible for
ANY RADIO OR TV Interference caused by
una uthorized modifications to this equip
ment. Such modifications could void the
user's authority to operate the equipment. Anti-theft
alarm system
The anti-theft alarm system triggers an
acoustic alarm and switches on the emer
genc y flasher if it senses unauthorized inter
ference with the vehicle.
When the vehicle is locked the alarm sy
stem monitors and protects the following
parts of the vehicle:
• engine compartment
• luggage compartment
• doors
• factory installed radio
• passenger compartment
• ignition.
The alarm system is switched on or off
whenever you lock or unlock the vehicle.
Simply tum the key to the lock or unlock
position or use the remote control.
The system is activated about 30 seconds
after the vehicle is locked, and the indicator
lights on the front door window sills start
flashing. The
horn sounds briefly when the car is
locked to confirm that the alarm system is
operative and that all doors, hood and rear
lid are properly closed. If the hom does not
sound, or the indicator lights do not flash,
check all doors, rear lid and hood and close
them properly. The horn will also sound if
the door, lid and hood are closed when the
system is already switched on.
The rear lid can be opened separately even
when the system is active. When the rear
lid is closed the luggage compartment will
again be included in the alarm circuit.
When the system is switched on the alarm
will be triggered if one of the doors, the en
gine hood or the rear lid are opened, or if the
ign ition is switched on or the radio re
moved.
When the alarm is triggered the hom
sounds and all four turn signals flash simul
taneously. The engine cannot be started un
til the system is switched off with the key
or the remote control.

CONTROLS AND
EQUIPMEN T--------------------
Selecting a driving position
�W ARNING
• Power is transmitted to the
wheels as soon as a driving posi
tion Is engaged. Therefore, when
the selector lever is in a driving
position, the vehicle may creep
even at idle speed. Do not release
the parking brake or foot brake un
til you are ready to move.
• If you must check under the
hood with the engine running,
never have any driving position en
gaged. Make sure the selector le
ver is securely locked into the P
(Park) position with the parking
brake firmly set. Otherwise, any
increase in engine speed may set
the vehicle in motion, even with
the parking brake applied.
• Do not accelerate while select
ing a driving position. At this time
the engine must run at idle speed
so that no undue stress will be
placed on the automatic clutches
in the transmission.
110 rA'J
WARNING continued
o If the selector lever is uninten
tionally moved into N (Neutral}
while you are driving, take your
foot off the accelerator pedal and
wait to idle speed before selecting
a driving position.
• Never shift into R (Reverse) or P
(Park) when the vehicle is in mov
ing. You will damage the transmis
sion.
Sta rting off
Select a gear. Wait for the transmis·
sion to engage the gaar (the vehicle
may move slightly). Then press the gas
pedal.
Maneuvering
When alternating between forward (D) and
reverse (R)-for instance, while maneuver
ing the vehicle into a tight parking space -
shift only when the vehicle has come to a
full stop and the engine is running at idle
speed. Stopping
• When stopping briefly, at a traffic light for
example, it is not necessary to move these
lector lever to N (Neutra l). Simply apply
the foot brake.
• The driving positions must never be used
for holding the vehicle on a hill. Always use
the foot brake when stopped on inclines.
mi WARNING
It is best never to get out of the
driver's seat when the engine is
running. However, if you must get
out of the vehicle, do this: Move
the selector lever securely into the
P (Park) position and apply the
parking brake firmly. If you are not
securely in P (Park), your vehicle
could move, possibly causing a se
rious accident.
