Trunk Emergency Release
As a security measure, a Trunk Internal
Emergency Release lever is built into the
trunk latching mechanism. In the event of
an individual being locked inside the trunk,
the trunk can be simply opened by pulling
on the glow-in-the-dark handle attached to
the trunk latching mechanism.
WARNING!
Do not allow children to have access to the trunk, either by climbing into the trunk from
outside, or through the inside of the vehicle. Always close the trunk lid when your
vehicle is unattended. Once in the trunk, young children may not be able to escape,
even if they entered through the rear seat. If trapped in the trunk, children can die from
suffocation or heat stroke.
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 Arm:
•Push the Keyless Enter-N-Go™ START/STOP button until the Driver Information Display
(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
you can lock or unlock the vehicle via the door handle.

four to eight seconds for a self-check when the ignition switch is first turned to the
ON/RUN position. After the self-check, the Air Bag Warning Light will turn off. If the
ORC detects a malfunction in any part of the system, it turns on the Air Bag Warning
Light, either momentarily or continuously. A single chime will sound to alert you if the
light comes on again after initial startup.
•The ORC monitors the readiness of the electronic parts of the air bag system whenever the
ignition switch is in the START or ON/RUN position. If the ignition switch is in the OFF
position or in the ACC position, the air bag system is not on and the air bags will not inflate.
•If the Air Bag Warning Light in the instrument panel is not on during the four to eight
seconds when the ignition switch is first turned to the ON/RUN position, stays on, or turns
on while driving, have the vehicle serviced by an authorized service center immediately.
NOTE:
If the speedometer, tachometer, or any engine related gauges are not working, the
Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) may also be disabled. In this condition the air bags
may not be ready to inflate for your protection. Have an authorized dealer service the air
bag system immediately.

Supplemental Knee Air Bags
This vehicle is equipped with a Supplemental Driver Knee Air Bag mounted in the
instrument panel below the steering column. The Supplemental Driver Knee Air Bag
provides enhanced protection during a frontal impact by working together with the seat
belts, pretensioners, and Advanced Front Air Bags.
WARNING!
•Relyingontheairbagsalonecouldleadtomoresevereinjuriesinacollision.The

HEATED/VENTILATED SEATS
Heated Seats
On some models, the front and rear seats may be equipped with heaters in both the seat
cushions and seatbacks.
The front driver and passenger heated seats are operated using the Uconnect®System.
WARNING!
•Personswhoareunabletofeelpaintotheskinbecauseofadvancedage,chronic
illness, diabetes, spinal cord injury, medication, alcohol use, exhaustion or other
physical condition must exercise care when using the seat heater. It may cause
burns even at low temperatures, especially if used for long periods of time.

BLIND SPOT MONITORING
The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) system uses two radar-based sensors, located inside the
rear bumper fascia, to detect Highway licensable vehicles (automobiles, trucks, motor-
cycles etc.) that enter the blind spot zones from the rear/front/side of the vehicle.
The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) system warning light, located in the outside mirrors, will
illuminate if a vehicle moves into a blind spot zone.
The BSM system can also be configured to sound an audible (chime) alert and mute the
radio to notify you of objects that have entered the detection zones.
Refer to “Blind Spot Monitoring” in “Understanding The Features Of Your Vehicle” in your
Owner's Manual on the DVD for further details.

Programming A Non-Rolling Code
NOTE:
For programming Garage Door Openers manufactured before 1995.
1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON/RUN position.
2. Place the hand-held transmitter 1 to 3 inches (3 to 8 cm) away from the HomeLink®
button you wish to program while keeping the HomeLink®indicator light in view.
3. Push and hold the HomeLink®button you want to program while you push and hold
the hand-held transmitter button.
4. Continue to hold both buttons and observe the indicator light. The HomeLink®
indicator will flash slowly and then rapidly after HomeLink®has received the fre-
quency signal from the hand-held transmitter. Release both buttons after the indicator
light changes from slow to rapid.
5. Push and hold the programmed HomeLink®button and observe the indicator light.
If the indicator light stays on constantly, programming is complete and the garage door
(or device) should activate when the HomeLink®button is pushed.
6.To p r o g r a m t h e t w o r e m a i n i n g H o m e L i n k®buttons, repeat each step for each remaining
