Power Windows
{CAUTION:
Leaving children, helpless adults, or pets
in a vehicle with the windows closed is
dangerous. They can be overcome from
extreme heat in warm or hot weather and
suffer permanent injuries or even death
from heat stroke.
Leaving children in a vehicle with the
ignition key is dangerous for many
reasons, children or others could be badly
injured or even killed. They could operate
the power windows or other controls or
even make the vehicle move. The windows
will function with the keys in the ignition
and they could be seriously injured or
killed if caught in the path of a closing
window. Do not leave keys in a vehicle
with children.
When there are children in the rear seat
use the window lockout button to prevent
unintentional operation of the windows.
If your vehicle has power windows, the switches
are located on the driver’s door. In addition,
each passenger door has a switch for its own
window.
The ignition must be turned to ON to use the
power windows. To lower the window, press and
hold the switch. To raise the window, lift up
on the switch. Release the switch when the
window reaches the desired level.

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.
Theft-Deterrent System
Your vehicle may have a theft-deterrent system.
The theft-deterrent system will not arm when
you lock the doors using the key or the manual
door lock. It arms only when you use the remote
keyless entry transmitter.

Arming the System
To arm the system, do the following:
1. Close the doors, the windows, the hood, and
the trunk or liftgate.
Ensure that the windows are closed, as the
system can be armed even if the windows
are open.
2. Turn the key to LOCK and remove the key
from the ignition.
If the key is inserted in the ignition, the
transmitter will not arm the theft-deterrent
system.
3. Lock the doors by pressing the lock button on
the remote keyless entry transmitter.
•The LED light on the transmitter will
flash once.
•All of the doors will lock.
•The hazard warning lamps will flash once
and the horn will chirp.
•The security light will flash to indicate that
the theft-deterrent system is armed. For
hatchback models, the security light
is located on the secondary information
center (SIC) on the center of the instrument
panel. SeeSecondary Information Center
(SIC) (Hatchback Only) on page 174.
For sedan models, the security light is
located on the center of the instrument
panel near the clock. SeeInstrument Panel
Overview on page 132.
To avoid activating the alarm by accident, do one
of the following:
•Unlock the driver’s or passenger’s front door
using the key.
•Press the unlock button on the remote keyless
entry transmitter.
Unlocking a door any other way will activate the
alarm when a door or the trunk or liftgate is
opened.
If you do not want to arm the theft-deterrent
system, lock the vehicle using the key or the
manual door locks.

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 side mirror is convex. A convex
mirror’s surface is curved so more can be
seen from the driver’s seat. It also makes things,
like other vehicles, look farther away than they
really are.
Outside Heated Mirrors
If your vehicle has this feature, when you operate
the rear window defogger, the heated driver’s
and passenger’s outside power mirrors are
warmed to help clear them of ice, snow, andcondensation. See “Rear Window and Outside
Mirror Defogger” underClimate Control System on
page 150for more information.
Storage Areas
Your vehicle has shopping hooks on each front
seatback for your convenience. Lift the headrest
to access the hooks.
