PASS-Key®III+ Operation
Your vehicle has PASS-Key®III+ (Personalized
Automotive Security System) theft-deterrent
system. PASS-Key
®III+ is a passive
theft-deterrent system. This means you do not
have to do anything special to arm or disarm the
system. It works when you transition the key
to RUN, ACC or START from the LOCK position.
When the PASS-Key
®III+ system senses that
someone is using the wrong key, it prevents
the vehicle from starting. Anyone using a
trial-and-error method to start the vehicle will be
discouraged because of the high number of
electrical key codes.
If the engine does not start and the security light
on the instrument panel comes on when trying
to start the vehicle, the key may have a damaged
transponder. Turn the ignition off and try again.
If the engine still does not start, and the key
appears to be undamaged, try another ignition key.
At this time, you may also want to check the fuse,
seeFuses and Circuit Breakers on page 429.If the engine still does not start with the other key,
your vehicle needs service. If your vehicle does
start, the rst key may be faulty. See your dealer
who can service the PASS-Key
®III+ to have a new
key made. In an emergency, contact Roadside
Assistance.
It is possible for the PASS-Key
®III+ decoder
to “learn” the transponder value of a new
or replacement key. Up to nine additional keys
may be programmed for the vehicle. The following
procedure is for programming additional keys
only. If all the currently programmed keys are
lost or do not operate, you must see your dealer
or a locksmith who can service PASS-Key
®III+
to have keys made and programmed to the
system.
See your dealer or a locksmith who can service
PASS-Key
®III+ to get a new key blank that is cut
exactly as the ignition key that operates the system.

Turn and Lane-Change Signals
The turn signal has two upward (for right) and
two downward (for left) positions. These positions
allow you to signal a turn or a lane change.
To signal a turn, move the lever all the way up or
down. When the turn is nished, the lever will
return automatically.
An arrow on the
instrument panel
cluster will ash in
the direction of the
turn or lane change.
To signal a lane change, raise or lower the lever
until the arrow starts to ash. Hold it there until you
complete the lane change. The lever will return
by itself when you release it.As you signal a turn or a lane change, if the
arrows ash rapidly, a signal bulb may be burned
out and other drivers won’t see your turn signal.
If a bulb is burned out, replace it to help avoid an
accident. If the arrows do not go on at all when you
signal a turn, check the fuse, seeFuses and Circuit
Breakers on page 429and for burned-out bulbs.
Headlamp High/Low-Beam Changer
To change the headlamps from low beam to
high, push the turn signal lever away from you.
To change from high beam to low beam, pull the
turn signal lever towards you. To ash the
high beams from low beam, pull the turn signal
lever all the way towards you. Then release it.
When the high beams
are on, this light on
the instrument panel
cluster will also be on.

Accessory Power Outlet(s)
The accessory power outlets can be used to
connect electrical equipment such as a cellular

The accessory power outlets located in front of
the center console storage area, at the rear of
the center console, and the vehicle may have
one located in the rear cargo area.
To use the outlets, remove the cover. When not in

causing your vehicle not to start or damage
to the battery. This would not be covered
by the warranty. Always unplug all electrical
devices when turning off your vehicle.
Certain electrical accessories may not be
compatible with the accessory power outlets and
could result in blown vehicle or adapter fuses.
If you experience a problem, see your dealer
for additional information on the accessory
power outlet.Notice:Adding any electrical equipment to
your vehicle may damage it or keep other
components from working as they should. The
repairs would not be covered by your warranty.
Do not use equipment exceeding maximum
amperage rating of 20 amperes. Check with
your dealer before adding electrical equipment.
When adding electrical equipment, be sure to
follow the installation instructions included with
the equipment.
Notice:Improper use of the power outlet can
cause damage not covered by your warranty.
Do not hang any type of accessory or
accessory bracket from the plug because the
power outlets are designed for accessory
power plugs only.

Windshield Wiper Fuses
The windshield wiper motor is protected by a
circuit breaker and a fuse. If the motor overheats
due to heavy snow or ice, the wiper will stop
until the motor cools. If the overload is caused by
some electrical problem, have it xed.
Fuses and Circuit Breakers
The wiring circuits in your vehicle are protected
from short circuits by fuses and circuit breakers.
This greatly reduces the chance of circuit overload
and re caused by electrical problems.
Your vehicle has an underhood fuse block and an
instrument panel fuse block.
To identify and check fuses, circuit breakers, and
relays, refer to the Fuse Usage Chart on the
inside surface of the fuse panel door.
Instrument Panel Fuse Block
The instrument panel fuse block is located on
the passenger’s side of the center console,
to the left of the glove box near the oor.
Remove the console cover to access the
fuse block.
