power door locks. You can program this feature through
the Driver Information Center (DIC), or by the following
method. SeeDIC Vehicle Customization on page 3-56.
Programmable Locking Feature
Following are the two locking modes that can be
programmed:
Mode 1:All doors lock when the transmission is shifted
out of (P) Park.
Mode 2:All doors lock when the vehicle speed is
greater than 8 mph (13 km/h).
The automatic door locks were pre-programmed at the
factory to lock all the doors when the transmission
is shifted into gear. The following instructions detail how
to program your door locks differently than the factory
setting. Choose one of the two programming options
listed previously before entering the program mode.
To enter the program mode, do the following:
1. Begin with the ignition off. Then pull the turn
signal/multifunction lever toward you and hold
it there while you perform the next step.
2. Turn the key to ON/RUN and LOCK/OFF twice.
Then, with the key in LOCK/OFF, release the
turn signal/multifunction lever. Once you do this,
you will hear the lock switch lock and unlock,
the horn will chirp twice, and a 30-second program
timer will begin.

Theft-Deterrent Systems
Vehicle theft is big business, especially in some cities.
This vehicle has theft-deterrent features, however,
they do not make it impossible to steal.
Content Theft-Deterrent
Your vehicle may have a content theft-deterrent alarm
system.
The security light is
located on the instrument
panel cluster.To operate the system:
1. Open the door.
2. Lock the door with the power door lock switch or
the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter.
The security light should ash.
The system will not activate if the doors are locked
with the key or manual door lock.
3. Close all doors. The security light should turn off
after about 30 seconds. The alarm is not armed
until the security light turns off.
If a locked door is opened without the key or the RKE
transmitter, the alarm will go off. The headlamps
and parking lamps will ash for two minutes, and the
horn will sound for 30 seconds, then will turn off to save
the battery power.
To avoid setting off the alarm by accident:
Always lock the vehicle using the door keyafterthe
doors are closed.
Always unlock a door with a key, or use the RKE
transmitter. Unlocking a door any other way will
set off the alarm.
To turn off the alarm, press unlock on the RKE
transmitter or unlock any door with the key.
2-17

Testing the Alarm
To test the alarm:
1. From inside the vehicle, lower the driver’s window
and open the driver’s door.
2. Activate the system by locking the doors with the
power door lock switch while the door is open, or
with the RKE transmitter.
3. Get out of the vehicle, close the door and wait for
the security light to go out.
4. Then reach in through the window, unlock the door
with the manual door lock and open the door.
This should set off the alarm.
When the alarm is set the power door unlock switch will
not work.
If the alarm does not sound when it should but the
headlamps ash, check to see if the horn works.
The horn fuse may be blown. To replace the fuse,
seeFuses and Circuit Breakers on page 5-119.
If the alarm does not sound or the headlamps do
not ash, the vehicle should be serviced by your
dealer/retailer.
Passlock®(U.S. Only)
Your vehicle has the Passlock theft-deterrent system.
Passlock is a passive theft-deterrent system that enables
fuel if the ignition lock cylinder is turned with a valid key. If
a correct key is not used or the ignition lock cylinder has
been tampered with, the fuel system is disabled and the
vehicle will not start.
During normal operation, the security light will turn off
about ve seconds after the key is turned to ON/RUN.
If the engine stalls and the security light ashes, wait
about 10 minutes until the light stops ashing before
trying to restart the engine. Remember to release the key
from START as soon as the engine starts.
If the engine does not start after three tries, the vehicle
needs service.
If the engine is running and the security light comes on,
you will be able to restart the engine if you turn the engine
off. However, your Passlock system is not working
properly and must be serviced by your dealer/retailer.
Your vehicle is not protected by Passlock at this time.
You may also want to check the fuse. SeeFuses and
Circuit Breakers on page 5-119. See your dealer/retailer
for service.
In an emergency, call the Roadside Assistance Center.
SeeRoadside Assistance Program on page 7-7.
Do not leave the key or device that disarms or
deactivates the theft deterrent system in the vehicle.
