Disarming the System
Always use your key or the remote keyless entry
transmitter to unlock a door. Unlocking a door any other
way will set off the alarm. If your alarm sounds, listed
below are the ways you can disarm it:

Unlock the driver's door with your key.

Put the key in the ignition.

Press the unlock button on the remote keyless
entry transmitter.
Now, if a door or the hatch/trunk lid is opened without
the key or the remote keyless entry transmitter, the
alarm will go off. Your horn will sound for two minutes,
then it will go off to save battery power. And, your
vehicle won't start.
The theft
-deterrent system won't arm if you lock the
driver's door with a key, the manual door lock, or if you
use the power door lock after the doors are closed.
If your passenger stays in the vehicle when you leave
with the keys, have the passenger lock the vehicle after
the doors are closed. This way the alarm won't arm, and
your passenger won't set it off.
PASS-Key
Your vehicle is equipped
with the PASS
-Key
(Personalized Automotive
Security System)
theft
-deterrent system.
PASS
-Key is a passive
theft
-deterrent system.
It works when you insert
or remove the key from
the ignition.
PASS
-Key uses a resistor pellet in the ignition key that
matches a decoder in your vehicle.
When the PASS
-Key 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 shutdown period will start over again. This discourages
someone from randomly trying different keys with
different resistor pellets in an attempt to make a match.
The key must be clean and dry before it's inserted in the
ignition or the engine may not start. If the SECURITY
light comes on, the key may be dirty or wet.

AM FM: Press this button to play the radio when a disc
is in the player. The letters CD will go off the display.
CD AUX: Press this button to change to the disc
function when the radio is on. A CD icon will appear on
the display when the disc is in the player, whether it is
active or not. If your system is equipped with a remote
playback device, pressing this button a second time will
allow the remote device to play.
EJECT: Press this button to remove the disc. The radio
will play. The disc will start at the first track when you
reinsert it.
If you turn off the ignition or radio with a disc in the
player, it will stay in the player. When you turn on the
ignition or system, the disc will start playing where it
was stopped. If you press EJECT but don't remove the
disc, the player will pull the disc back in to protect it
after about one minute. If you leave a compact disc
in the player while listening to the radio, it may
become warm.Trunk-Mounted CD Changer (Option)
Your vehicle may be equipped with a trunk-mounted
CD changer. It is located in the rear center storage
compartment. See ªRear Storage Compartmentsº in the
Index for more information.
If your vehicle has a compact disc changer, you can play
up to 12 discs continuously. Normal size discs may be
played using the trays supplied in the magazine. The
small discs (8 cm) can be played only with specially
designed trays.
NOTICE:
Heavy objects in the center storage area which
may shift or slide while driving could damage
your CD changer. Protect your CD changer by
not placing heavy, moveable objects in the center
storage area.
