Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine To avoid activating the alarm by accident:
The vehicle should be locked with the key after the
doors are closed
if you don’t want to activate the
theft-deterrent system.
Always unlock a door with a key or use the remote
keyless entry transmitter. (Pressing the unlock button
on the remote keyless entry transmitter disables the
theft-deterrent system.) Unlocking a door any other
way will activate the
alarm. Cycling the ignition
without disarming the theft-deterrent system will
also activate the alarm.
If you activate the alarm by accident, unlock the driver’s
door with your key. You can also turn
off the alarm by
using the remote keyless entry transmitter. The
alarm
won’t stop if you try to unlock a door in any other way.
Testing the Alarm
1. From inside the vehicle, roll down the window, then
get out
of the vehicle, keeping the door open.
2. From outside the vehicle, with the door open, lock
the vehicle using the power door lock or the remote
keyless entry transmitter and close the door. Wait
30 seconds.
3. Reach in and unlock the door using the manual lock
and open the door. The horn will sound and the
headlarnps will flash.
If the alarm does not sound when it should, check to see
if the horn works. The horn fuse may be blown. To
replace the fuse, see
“Fuses and Circuit Breakers” in the
Index. If the fuse does not need to be replaced,
you may
need to have your vehicle serviced.
To reduce the possibility of theft, always activate
the optional theft-deterrent system when leaving
your vehicle.

Your vehicle is equipped
with
a passive
theft-deterrent system.
This device complies with Part
15 of the FCC Rules.
Operation
is subject to the following two conditions:
(1)
this device may not cause harmful interference,
and
(2) this device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may cause
undesired operation.
This device complies with RSS-210 of Industry
Canada. Operation
is subject to the following two
conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference,
and
(2) this device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may cause
undesired operation of the device. Changes
or modifications to this system by other than an
authorized service facility could void authorization to
use this equipment.
The system works when you
turn the key to ON. The key
uses a transponder that matches an immobilizer control
unit
in your vehicle. The correct key will start the vehicle.
When the system senses that someone is using the wrong key, it may
start but it will not continue to run. If someone
tries to
start your vehicle again or uses another key during
this time, the shutdown will start over again. This
discourages someone from randomly trying different keys
with different transponders in an attempt to make a match.
If the engine cannot be started, turn the key in the
ignition to
ON. Wait approximately two seconds; then
start your vehicle again.
If the engine still won’t start, try another key.
You may
also want to check the fuses (see “Fuses and Circuit
Breakers” in the Index).
If the starter won’t work with
the other key, your vehicle needs service. If your vehicle
does start, the first key may be faulty. See your dealer.
If you lose or damage a key or you cannot start the
engine, see your dealer. If a key
is lost, bring all
remaining keys to your dealer for re-programming. In
an emergency, call the Vehicle Roadside Assistance
Center at 1-800-882-1112.

1;
Tilt steering allows you to adjust the steering wheel
before you begin driving. Raising the steering wheel to
the highest level gives your legs more room when you
enter and exit your vehicle.
Hold the steering wheel and pull the lever toward you
to tilt the wheel. Adjust the steering wheel to a
comfortable position and then release the lever
to lock
the wheel in place.
Turn SignaVMultifunction Lever
Turn and Lane Change Signals
To signal a turn, move the lever all the way up or down.
The lever returns automatically when the turn
is complete.
This arrow
on the
instrument panel will flash
in the direction of the turn
or lane change.
Raise or lower the lever until the arrow starts
to flash to
signal a lane change. Hold it there until the lane change
is complete. The lever returns when it’s released.
Arrows that flash rapidly when signaling for a turn or
lane change may be caused by a burned-out front signal
bulb (this
does not occur with a burned-out rear bulb).
Other drivers won’t see the
turn signal. Replace
burned-out bulbs to help avoid possible accidents. Check the fuse
(see “Fuses and Circuit Breakers” in the
Index) and for burned-out bulbs if the arrow fails to
work when signaling a turn.

Add-on Electrical Equipment
I NOTICE:
Don’t add anything electrical to your vehicle
unless you check with your dealer first. Some electrical equipment can damage your vehicle
and the damage wouldn’t be covered by your
warranty. Some add-on electrical equipment
can keep other components from working as
they should.
Headlamp Wiring
The headlamp wiring has several fuses which are
powered by a MaxiFuse@. An electrical overload will
cause the lamps to go on and off, or in some cases to
remain
off. If this happens, have the headlamp wiring
checked right away.
MaxiFuse is a registered trademark of Little Fuse
Incorporated.
Windshield Wiper Fuses
If the windshield wiper motor overheats due to heavy
snow, etc., the wipers will stop until the motor cools. If
the overload is caused by some electrical problem, be
sure to have it fixed.
Your vehicle has an air bag system. Before attempting
to
add anything electrical to your vehicle, see “Servicing
Your Air Bag-Equipped Vehicle” in the Index.
Power Windows and Other Power Options
Circuit breakers protect the power windows and other
power accessories. When the current load is
too heavy,
the circuit breaker opens and closes, protecting the
circuit until the problem is fixed or goes away.

This fuse block is attached to the engine compartment
relay center located on top of the battery. Simply lift the
lid to open. If you have any questions about the power
distribution fuse block, consult your dealer. The
wiring circuits in your vehicle are protected from
the
short circuits by a combination of fuses and circuit
breakers.
This greatly reduces the chance of fires caused
by electrical problems.
Look at the silver-colored band inside the fuse.
If the
band is broken or melted, replace the
fuse. Be sure you
replace a bad fuse with a new one of the identical size
and rating.
If you ever have a problem on the road and don’t have a
spare fuse, you can borrow one that has the same
amperage. Pick some feature of your vehicle that
you
can get along without -- like the radio or cigarette
lighter
-- and use its fuse, if it is the correct amperage.
Replace it as soon as you can.
There
are two €use blocks in your vehicle: the
instrument panel fuse blocks and the engine
compartment relay center.
