VEHICLE SECURITY ALARM
To Arm The System
Vehicles Not Equipped With Keyless Enter-N-Go™
Remove the key from the ignition switch and either press a power door LOCK switch while
the driver or passenger door is open or press the LOCK button on the Remote Keyless Entry
(RKE) transmitter. After the last door is closed, or if all doors are closed, the Vehicle Security
Alarm will arm itself in about 16 seconds. During that time, the Vehicle Security Light will
flash. If it does not illuminate, the Vehicle Security Alarm is not arming. In addition, if you
open a door during the arming period, the Vehicle Security Alarm will cancel the arming
process. If you wish to rearm the Vehicle Security Alarm after closing the door, you must
repeat one of the previously-described arming sequences.
You may also disarm the ultrasonic intrusion sensor during the 16 second arming period by
pressing the lock button three times with a delay of no more than five seconds between key
presses. The horn will pulse twice to acknowledge that the ultrasonic intrusion sensor has
been disabled.
NOTE:
• The driver’s door key cylinder and the trunk button on the RKE transmitter cannot arm or disarm the Vehicle Security Alarm.
• The Vehicle Security Alarm remains armed during trunk entry. Pressing the TRUNK button will not disarm the Vehicle Security Alarm. If someone enters the vehicle through
the trunk, and opens any door, the alarm will sound.

• When the Vehicle Security Alarm is armed, the interior power door lock switches will notunlock the doors.
• The ultrasonic intrusion sensor may be inadvertently activated by a child, pet or shifting package left within the vehicle after the Vehicle Security Alarm is armed.
Vehicles Equipped With Keyless Enter-N-Go™
Press the Keyless Enter-N-Go™ START/STOP button until the Electronic Vehicle Information
Center (EVIC) indicates that the vehicle ignition is “OFF” (refer to “Starting Procedures” in
“Starting And Operating” for further information). Then either press the power door LOCK
switch while the driver or passenger door is open, press the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
transmitter LOCK button or press the Passive Entry Door Handle LOCK button (refer to “Keyless
Enter-N-Go™” in “Things To Know Before Starting Your Vehicle” for further information).
To Disarm The System
The Vehicle Security Alarm is designed to protect your vehicle; however, you can create
conditions where the Vehicle Security Alarm will give you a false alarm. If one of the
previously-described arming sequences has occurred, the Vehicle Security Alarm will arm
regardless of whether you are in the vehicle or not. If you remain in the vehicle and open a
door, the alarm will sound. If this occurs, disarm the Vehicle Security Alarm.
If the Vehicle Security Alarm is armed and the battery becomes disconnected the Vehicle
Security Alarm will remain armed when the battery is reconnected. The exterior lights will
flash, and the horn will sound. If this occurs, disarm the Vehicle Security Alarm.
Vehicles Not Equipped With Keyless Enter-N-Go™
Either press the UNLOCK button on the RKE transmitter or insert a valid ignition key into the
ignition switch and turn the key to the ON/RUN position.
NOTE:
• The driver's door key cylinder and the trunk button on the RKE transmitter cannot arm ordisarm the Vehicle Security Alarm.
• The Vehicle Security Alarm remains armed during trunk entry. Pressing the TRUNK button will not disarm the Vehicle Security Alarm. If someone enters the vehicle through

Shifting The Transmission
• The transmission shift lever position (PRND) is displayed both on the shift lever and in theElectronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC).
• To drive, depress the brake pedal, press the button on the front of the shift lever and move the shift lever from PARK or NEUTRAL to the DRIVE position.
• Manual shifts can also be made using the AutoStick® shift control.
• This transmission is programmed to prevent shifting from Reverse to Drive or Drive to Reverse, if vehicle speed is above 6 mph (10 km/h). This safety feature helps protect your
transmission from damage.
NOTE:
• When stopped on an incline, it is recommended that you always hold the vehicle in place using the brakes. On steep inclines, Hill Start Assist (HSA) will temporarily hold the car in
position when the brake pedal is released. If the accelerator pedal is not applied after a
short time, the car will roll back. Either reapply the brake (to hold the vehicle) or press the
accelerator to climb the hill.
• During acceleration, gear changes will feel smooth compared to a vehicle with a tradi- tional manual transmission. This is a benefit of the dual clutch design that avoids power
loss during up-shifts.
Instrument Cluster Messages
• Messages will be displayed in the instrument cluster (if equipped with an EVIC) to alertthe driver when certain conditions occur. These messages are described below.

IF YOUR ENGINE OVERHEATS
• In any of the following situations, you can reduce the potential for overheating by taking the appropriate action.
• On the highways — slow down.
• In city traffic — while stopped, place the transmission in NEUTRAL, but do not increase engine idle speed.
NOTE:
There are steps that you can take to slow down an impending overheat condition:
• If your air conditioner (A/C) is on, turn it off. The A/C system adds heat to the engine cooling system and turning the A/C off can help remove this heat.
• You can also turn the temperature control to maximum heat, the mode control to floor and the blower control to high. This allows the heater core to act as a supplement to the
radiator and aids in removing heat from the engine cooling system.
CAUTION!
Vehicles with base cluster
• Driving with a hot cooling system could damage your vehicle. If the temperature gauge reads H (hot), pull over and stop the vehicle. Idle the vehicle with the air
conditioner turned off until the pointer drops back into the normal range. If the
pointer remains on H (hot), turn the engine off immediately and call for service.
Vehicles with premium cluster
• Driving with a hot cooling system could damage your vehicle. If the temperature gauge reads 240°F (116 °C) or greater pull over and stop the vehicle. Idle the vehicle
with the air conditioner turned off until the pointer drops back into the normal range
200–230°F (93–110°C). If the pointer remains at 240°F (116°C) or greater and you hear
a chime, turn the engine off immediately and call for service.
