VEHICLE SECURITY ALARM
The Vehicle Security Alarm monitors the vehicle doors for unauthorized entry and the Keyless
Enter-N-Go™ START/STOP button for unauthorized operation. While the Vehicle Security
Alarm is armed, interior switches for door locks and decklid release are disabled. If something
triggers the alarm, the Vehicle Security Alarm will provide the following audible and visible
signals: the horn will pulse, the park lamps and/or turn signals will flash, and the Vehicle Security
Light in the instrument cluster will flash.
To A r m :
•PushtheKeylessEnter-N-Go™START/STOPbuttonuntiltheDriverInformationDisplay
(DID) indicates that the vehicle ignition is “OFF.” Push the power door lock switch while the
door is open, push the Key Fob LOCK button, or with one of the Key Fobs located outside the
vehicle and within 5 ft (1.5 m) of the driver's and passenger front door handles, push the
Keyless Enter-N-Go™ LOCK button located on the door handle.
NOTE:
After pushing the Keyless Enter-N-Go™ LOCK button, you must wait two seconds before youcan lock or unlock the vehicle via the door handle.

SEAT BELT SYSTEMS
Lap/Shoulder Belts
•Allseatingpositionsinyourvehicleareequippedwithlap/shoulderbelts.
•Besureeveryoneinyourvehicleisinaseatandusingaseatbeltproperly.
•Positionthelapbeltsothatitissnugandlieslowacrossyourhips,belowyourabdomen.To
remove slack in the lap belt portion, pull up on the shoulder belt. To loosen the lap belt if it is
too tight, tilt the latch plate and pull on the lap belt. A snug seat belt reduces the risk of sliding
under the seat belt in a collision.
• Position the shoulder belt across the shoulder and chest with minimal, if any slack so that it is
comfortable and not resting on your neck. The retractor will withdraw any slack in the shoulder
belt.
