Programming the Power Windows
If the battery on your vehicle has been recharged,
disconnected, or is not working, you will need to
reprogram each window for the express-up feature
to work.
To program each window, follow these steps:
1. With the ignition on or in Acc., or while RAP is
active, close all doors.
2. Press and hold the power window switch until
the window has fully opened.
3. Continue holding the switch for approximately
two seconds.
4. Pull up the power window switch until the
window is fully closed.
The window is now programmed. Repeat the
process for all windows.
Express Window Anti-Pinch Feature
If any object is in the path of the window when the
express-up is active, the window will stop at the
obstruction and auto-reverse to a preset factory
position. Weather conditions such as severe icing
may also cause the window to auto-reverse.
The window will return to normal operation once the
obstruction or condition is removed.
Express Window Anti-Pinch Override
{CAUTION:
If express override is activated, the
window will not reverse automatically.
You or others could be injured and the
window could be damaged. Before you
use express override, make sure that all
people and obstructions are clear of the
window path.
In an emergency, the anti-pinch feature can be
overridden in a supervised mode. Hold the window
switch all the way up in the express position.
The window will rise for as long as the switch is
held. Once the switch is released, the express
mode is re-activated.
In this mode, the window can still close on an object
in its path. Use care when using the override mode.

slide switch up or down to brighten or dim
the lamp.
Theft-Deterrent Systems
Vehicle theft is big business, especially in some
cities. Although your vehicle has a number of
theft-deterrent features, we know that nothing
we put on it can make it impossible to steal.
107

If a door, hood, or the trunk is opened without
the keyless access transmitter, the horn will
sound for 30 seconds and the lamps will ash
for two minutes. The vehicle cannot be started
without a keyless access transmitter.
The Theft-Deterrent system will not arm if:
The key is used to turn the key cylinder to
the lock position.
The driver’s door is locked using the power
door lock switch after the doors are closed.
If the vehicle is locked using the keyless access
transmitter and the trunk lid, hood or a door
is open or not closed completely, the security
light will ash for 60 seconds and then turn off.
At this time, the theft-deterrent system is armed
but the alarm will not sound if the trunk lid, hood or
door that was not closed completely is tampered
with or opened. The alarm will sound for the
trunk lid, hood or a door that was completely
closed at the time the vehicle was locked using
the keyless access transmitter.
The vehicle can be programmed to automatically
unlock the doors and disarm the theft-deterrent
system when you approach the vehicle and
the keyless access transmitter is with you. See
Vehicle Personalization on page 148.Pressing the unlock button on the keyless access
transmitter or using the key to unlock the
driver’s door disarms the theft-deterrent system.
Unlocking a door any other way while the
system is armed will activate the alarm.
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 switch or the keyless access transmitter
and close the door. Wait about 30 seconds
until the security light goes off.
3. Reach in and open the door using the inside
door handle. The horn will sound and the
exterior lamps will ash.
You can turn off the alarm by pressing the unlock
button on the keyless access transmitter or by
starting the car.
If the alarm does not sound when it should, check to
see if the horn works. The horn fuse may be blown.

Outside Automatic Dimming Mirror
The driver’s side mirror will adjust for the glare
of headlamps behind you. This feature is controlled
by the on and off settings on the automatic
dimming rearview mirror.
Outside Convex Mirror
{CAUTION:
A convex mirror can make things (like
other vehicles) look farther away than
they really are. If you cut too sharply into
the right lane, you could hit a vehicle on
your right. Check your inside mirror or
glance over your shoulder before
changing lanes.
The passenger’s side mirror is convex. A convex
mirror’s surface is curved so more can be
seen from the driver’s seat. This mirror does not
have a dimming feature.
Outside Parallel Park Assist Mirror
This feature assists the driver by improving
rear obstacle detection and is useful in viewing the
curb when parallel parking.
Press the left or right mirror symbol on the
selector control to choose the driver or passenger
outside mirror. When the vehicle is shifted into
REVERSE (R), the selected mirror will tilt to
a factory programmed position. If further mirror
adjustment is needed press the arrows located on
the outside mirror control pad. If the outside
mirror selector switch is in the middle position,
neither outside mirror will move.
When the vehicle is shifted out of REVERSE (R),
and a ve-second delay has occurred, the
mirror will return to its original position. The delay
prevents movement of the mirror if multiple
gear transitions REVERSE (R) to DRIVE (D) to
REVERSE (R) occur during a parallel parking
maneuver.
