 The Vehicle Security system is factory adjusted to stan -
dards from different countries.
 The Vehicle Security system is a complementary secu -
rity system developed to hinder the occurrence of
vehicle theft and prevent vandalism. It does not
prevent the theft of your vehicle; the system is a deter -
rent.
TO ARM THE SYSTEM
Follow these steps to arm the Vehicle Security system:

1. Make sure the vehicle’s ignition is placed in the OFF position.

 For vehicles equipped with Keyless Entry, make
sure the vehicle’s keyless ignition system is OFF. 2. Perform one of the following methods to lock the

 Push the lock button on the key fob.
3. If any doors (or liftgate) are open, close them.
When the Vehicle Security system is armed (except on
some versions for specific markets), the system will emit
an acoustic warning and a warning light (located next to
the interior door handle) will flash until it is disarmed.
NOTE:
 If there is a fault with the system, the system will emit
an acoustic signal a second time.
 If this occurs, wait about 4 seconds and switch off the
Vehicle Security system following this procedure:
a. Press the unlock button on the key fob.
b. Check that the doors, hood, and liftgate are closed, and then reactivate the system by pressing
the lock button.
 If the alarm emits a sound even when the doors, hood,
and liftgate are closed, there is a fault with the system.
Contact an authorized dealer for assistance.
 The vehicle doors can be locked without arming the
Vehicle Security system by using the emergency key in
the exterior door lock cylinder.

BATTERY SAVER FEATURE
To protect the battery, if the headlight switch is left in the
low beam or parking lights position when the ignition is
placed in the OFF position, the lights are deactivated after
eight minutes. The lights can also be turned off manually
by rotating the headlight switch to the O (off) position.
INTERIOR LIGHTS
INTERIOR COURTESY LIGHTS
Courtesy and dome lights are turned on when the front
doors are opened.
To protect the battery, the interior lights will turn off
automatically 15 minutes after the ignition is placed in the
OFF position, and no other activity in the vehicle has
occurred. This will occur if the interior lights were turned
on manually or are on because a door is open. This
includes the glove compartment light and the cargo area
light. To restore interior light operation, either place the
ignition in the ON/RUN position, or push the light switch on
and then back off.

Windshield Washer
To use the washer, pull the windshield wiper lever toward
the steering wheel and hold.
Both the windshield washer jet and the windshield wipers
will be activated. The wipers and washer will continue to
operate until you let go of the lever.
The windshield wipers stop working three strokes after the
stalk is released, followed by a final stroke six seconds
later to complete the cycle.
Mist
Push the lever upward to the MIST position and release for
a single wiping cycle.
NOTE:The Mist feature does not activate the washer pump;
therefore, no washer fluid will be sprayed on the wind -
shield. The washer function must be used in order to spray
the windshield with washer fluid.
For information on wiper care and replacement, see
Úpage 230.
RAIN SENSING WIPERS — IF EQUIPPED
This feature senses rain or snowfall on the windshield and
automatically activates the wipers. The Rain Sensor is
located behind the interior rearview mirror.

Rain Sensor

The sensor has an adjustment range that varies
progressively from wiper still (no stroke) when the
windshield is dry, to wiper at continuous speed
(fast operation) with intense rain. Activation

1. Rotate the wiper switch to the Low Sensitivity Rain
Sensing position or High Sensitivity Rain Sensing
position.

2. Tap the wiper stalk upwards.
The variation in sensitivity during rain sensor operation is
signaled by a stroke of the wiper.
If the windshield washer is used with the rain sensor
activated, the normal washing cycle is performed, and
then the rain sensor resumes its normal automatic
operation.
NOTE:Keep the glass in the sensor area clean.
Deactivation
To turn off the Rain Sensing Wipers, use the wiper switch
or place the ignition in the OFF position.
In the event of malfunction of the rain sensor while it is
active, the windshield wiper operates intermittently at a
speed consistent with the sensitivity setting of the rain
sensor, whether or not there is rain on the glass for as long
as the sensor failure is indicated on the display.
The sensor continues to operate and it is possible to set
the windshield wiper to continuous mode (low or high). The
failure indication remains on for as long as the sensor is
active.
WARNING!
Sudden loss of visibility through the windshield could
lead to a collision. You might not see other vehicles or
other obstacles. To avoid sudden icing of the windshield
during freezing weather, warm the windshield with the
defroster before and during windshield washer use.
CAUTION!
Always remove any buildup of snow that prevents the
windshield wiper blades from returning to the parked
position. If the windshield wiper switch is turned off,
and the blades cannot return to the parked position,
damage to the wiper motor may occur.
