When your vehicle is new, there will be a label covering
the adjustment knob. Remove the label and adjust the
sensor as desired. Turn the knob clockwise to increase
sensitivity and counterclockwise to decrease sensitivity.
The shock sensor is ignored by the alarm system when
the following happens:

The ignition is on,

the hatch is open,

the alarm is disarmed,

when customized to be ignored, and

for five seconds after the horn sounds an alarm
or chirp.
The shock sensor is ignored after triggering three full
alarms until the system is rearmed.Remote Keyless Entry Transmitter Locking
If all the doors are closed, locking the vehicle with the
remote keyless entry transmitter will immediately arm
the system. The horn will chirp twice and the parking
lamps will flash, confirming that the system is armed.
If any door is open when the LOCK button is pressed,
the system goes into an armed wait mode, waiting for
the doors to close. Once they are closed, the system will
arm, the horn will chirp twice and the parking lamps
will flash. If the hatch is open or ajar at the time the
system is arming, the horn will only chirp once.
Power Door Lock Switch Locking
If any door is open when the power door lock switch is
pressed, the system goes into an armed wait mode,
waiting for the doors to close. Once they are closed, the
system will arm and the parking lamps will flash. If both
doors are closed when the power door lock switch is
pressed, the system assumes you are inside the vehicle,
so it will not arm. Locking the doors by using the
manual door locks will not arm the system.

2-19
Passive Arming
If the ignition was just turned off and a door was
opened, the system will arm six seconds after both doors
are closed, whether or not you lock them. In all other
cases, the system will wait 30 seconds after both doors
are closed before arming, allowing you time to get into
the vehicle and put the key in the ignition. The parking
lamps will flash when the system arms.
The vehicle is shipped from the factory with this feature
turned off. To turn this feature on, see ªFeature
Customizationº in the Index.
Disarming the System
There are two ways to disarm the system:

Press the UNLOCK button on the remote keyless
entry transmitter. If the horn chirps two or three
times when you unlock the vehicle, the alarm
sounded in your absence. Two chirps means that the
shock sensor was set off and three chirps means that
a door or the hatch was opened.

Turn the ignition key to RUN.
For more information on customizing the features
mentioned here, see ªFeature Customizationº in
the Index.

2-20 Feature Customization (If Equipped)
Your vehicle's content theft-deterrent/alarm system, locks and lighting systems can be programmed with several
different features. The features you can program depend upon the options that came with your vehicle. The following
chart shows the features that can be programmed. To determine which features your vehicle is equipped with, follow
the steps listed for entering the programming mode.

Exiting Programming Mode
When programming is complete, turn the ignition to
OFF and reinstall the RADIO fuse.PASS-Key
II
Your vehicle is equipped
with the PASS
-Key II
(Personalized Automotive
Security System)
theft
-deterrent system.
PASS
-Key II is a passive
theft
-deterrent system.
It works when you insert
or remove the key from
the ignition.
PASS
-Key II uses a resistor pellet in the ignition key
that matches a decoder in your vehicle.
When the PASS
-Key II system senses that someone is
using the wrong key, it shuts down the vehicle's starter
and fuel systems. For about three minutes, the starter
won't work and fuel won't go to the engine. If someone
tries to start your vehicle again or uses another key
during this time, the vehicle will not start. This
discourages someone from randomly trying different
keys with different resistor pellets in an attempt to
make a match.
