Using Speed Control On Hills
Your vehicle is equipped with interactive speed control.
This feature activates when driving up or down hills with
the speed control engaged and the driver's foot off the
accelerator.
WARNING!
Speed control can be dangerous where the system
can't maintain a constant speed. Your vehicle could
go too fast for the conditions, and you could lose
control. An accident could be the result. Don't use
speed control in heavy traffic or on roads that are
winding, icy, snow-covered, or slippery.
For vehicles with automatic transmission:
On a downgrade or an upgrade, downshifting will occur
automatically to allow the engine's braking power to
maintain the set speed. When more level roadway is
reached, the transmission will automatically upshift to
fifth gear.For vehicles with manual transmission:
The set speed control is switched off when declutching
exceeds four seconds during downshifting. In some
cases, you may have to step on the brake pedal to slow
down sufficiently to achieve the desired speed.
NOTE:On very steep hills, a greater speed loss or gain
may occur. It may be preferable to drive without speed
control.
GARAGE DOOR OPENER (If Equipped)
The HomeLinktUniversal Transceiver replaces up to
three remote controls (hand-held transmitters) that oper-
ate devices such as garage door openers, motorized
gates, or home lighting. The transceiver triggers these
devices at the push of a button. The transceiver operates
off your vehicle's battery and charging system: no bat-
teries are needed.
For additional information on HomeLinkt, call 1±800±
355±3515, or on the internet at www.homelink.com.

Tow-Away Alarm
Once the alarm system has been armed, the exterior
vehicle lights will flash and an alarm will sound when
anyone attempts to raise the vehicle for towing. The
alarm will last approximately three minutes in the form
of flashing exterior lights. At the same time, an alarm will
sound for 30 seconds. The alarm will stay on even if the
vehicle is immediately lowered. To cancel the alarm,
insert the key in the ignition switch or press the transmit
button on the key fob.To prevent triggering the tow-away alarm feature, press
the tow-away alarm switch to turn off the tow-away
alarm before towing the vehicle, or when parking on a
surface subject to movement, such as a ferry or auto train.
To do so, turn the key in the ignition switch to the
OFF/LOCK or ACC positions, or remove key from the
ignition switch. Press the upper half of the tow-away
alarm switch. The indicator light will illuminate briefly.
Then, exit the vehicle and lock with a key or the remote
control. The tow-away alarm remains switched off until
the vehicle is locked again with a key or the remote
control, at which time it is automatically reactivated.

the vehicle and then readjust the headlights to the
original position. If any further adjustments are neces-
sary contact your manufacturer's dealer. A detailed ser-
vice procedure is contained in the manufacturer's Service
Manual. Information on purchasing a Service Manual can
be found at the back of this Owner's Manual.
VEHICLE STORAGE
We recommend that you follow these guidelines before
storing your Crossfire for extended periods.
²Fill the gas tank. This will prevent water condensation
inside the tank. If you plan on storing your vehicle
more than two months, add an anti-oxidant fuel
stabilizer to the gas tank.
²Change the oil to remove any corrosive combustion-
related acids in the crankcase.
²Wash and wax the vehicle to protect the finish.
²Cover the vehicle whenever possible to prevent acci-
dental damage to the finish.
²Store the vehicle in a dry, well-ventilated location.
²If the vehicle will be subjected to freezing tempera-
tures, remove the battery and store it in a dry, well-
ventilated place. If the vehicle is not going to be driven
in the next three weeks, follow the battery recharge
procedure in the Service Manual, then disconnect the
battery at the negative terminal.
CAUTION!
Use care when disconnecting the remote positive
cable. It is connected to the battery and can short out
to any metal on the vehicle. Always tape or wrap the
exposed cable end to prevent electrical shorts.
Disconnecting the battery causes the engine control sys-
tem to lose memory of some ªlearnedº functions. The
engine may run rough when first started after a battery
disconnect until the control module ªrelearnsº these
functions.
Check the battery every four to six weeks to ensure that
the voltage is above 12.40. Voltage will drop more rapidly
