Operation
When you press this
symbol to unlock the
driver's door, the parking
lamps on your vehicle
will flash twice. You can
program your vehicle
so the parking lamps
will not flash.
(For more information,
see ªLock/Unlock
Confirmationº in the Index.)
The parking lamps will also not flash if they have been
turned on manually. Pressing this symbol again within
five seconds will unlock the other doors. Pressing this
symbol will disarm the theft
-deterrent system and turn
on the interior lamps at night.
When you press this symbol to lock the doors,
the parking lamps will flash once and the horn will
sound. The parking lamps will not flash, however, if the
manual parking lamps are left on. (You can program
your vehicle so the parking lamps will not flash and
the horn will not sound. For more information,
see ªLock/Unlock Confirmationº in the Index.)
This arms the theft
-deterrent system.
Press this symbol to open the trunk. (The VALET
lockout switch must be off for this feature to work.)
Your transmitter comes equipped with an
instant panic alarm. To use the alarm, press the horn
symbol with the ignition off. The horn will sound and
the exterior lamps will flash for up to 30 seconds.
To stop the instant panic alarm, press the symbol
again or turn the ignition to ON.
The remote keyless entry transmitter can be used
to recall the memory settings for up to two drivers.
For more information, see ªMemory Seat, Mirrors
and Steering Wheelº in the Index.

2-17
Parking at Night
Park in a lighted spot, close all windows and lock your
vehicle. Remember to keep your valuables out of sight.
Put them in a storage area, or take them with you.
Parking Lots
Even if you park in a lot where someone will be
watching your vehicle, it's still best to lock it up and
take your keys. But what if you have to leave your
ignition key?

If possible, park in a busy, well
-lit area.

Put your valuables in a storage area, like your
trunk or glove box. Be sure to close and lock the
storage area.

Close all windows.

Move the valet lockout switch to ON.

Leave only the valet key.

Take all other keys and the Remote Keyless Entry
transmitter with you.
Theft-Deterrent System
If the ignition is off and
any door is open, the
SECURITY light will flash,
reminding you to activate
the system.
The light will also flash if the battery has been
disconnected and reconnected.
To arm the system, do the following:
1. Open the door.
2. Lock the door using the power door lock or the
remote keyless entry transmitter. The SECURITY
light should come on and stay on.
3. Close all the doors. The SECURITY light should go
off within about 30 seconds.
When the theft
-deterrent system activates, the horn will
sound and the lamps will flash for about 30 seconds
when the door or trunk is opened without the key or the
remote keyless entry transmitter.

2-18
Remember, the theft-deterrent system won't activate if
you lock the doors with a key or use the manual door
lock. It activates only if you use a power door lock
button or the remote keyless entry transmitter.
To avoid activating the alarm by accident,
do the following:

Always unlock a door with a known key or use the
remote keyless entry transmitter. (Using a known
key or pressing the unlock button on the remote
keyless entry transmitter disables the theft
-deterrent
system.) Unlocking a door any other way, such
as using an unknown key, will activate the
alarm system.

The vehicle should be locked with the door key after
the doors are closed if you don't want to activate the
theft
-deterrent system.
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 unlock button on the remote keyless entry
transmitter or by starting the vehicle with a known key.
The alarm won't stop if you try to unlock a door 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 of 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 until the SECURITY light goes off.
3. Reach in and unlock the door using the manual lock
lever and open the door. The horn will sound and the
headlamps 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 ªFuses and Circuit Breakersº
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
theft
-deterrent system when leaving your vehicle.

2-40
CAUTION:
It can be dangerous to get out of your vehicle if
the shift lever is not fully in PARK (P) with the
parking brake firmly set. Your vehicle can roll.
Don't leave your vehicle when the engine is
running unless you have to. If you've left the
engine running, the vehicle can move suddenly.
You or others could be injured. To be sure your
vehicle won't move, even when you're on fairly
level ground, always set your parking brake after
you move the shift lever to PARK (P).
Follow the proper steps to be sure your vehicle won't
move. See ªShifting Into PARK (P)º in the Index.
If you are parking on a hill and if you're pulling a
trailer, also see ªTowing a Trailerº in the Index.
Horn
Nearly the entire surface of the center pad of the
steering wheel is an active horn switch. Press on the
pad near the horn symbols to sound the horn.
Tilt Wheel
The tilt wheel control is
located on the outboard side
of the steering column.
Tilt steering allows you to adjust the steering wheel
before you drive. Raising the steering wheel to the
highest level gives your legs more room when you enter
and exit the vehicle.
Hold the steering wheel and pull the lever toward you to
bring the steering wheel close to you. Adjust the steering
wheel to a comfortable position and then release the
lever to lock it into place.
