GENERAL INFORMATION
Transmitter and receivers operate on a carrier fre-
quency of 434 MHz as required by EEC regulations.
These devices must be certified to conform to specific
regulations in each individual country. Two sets of
regulations are involved: ETS (European Telecommuni-
cation Standard) 300–220, which most countries use,
and German BZT federal regulation 225Z125, which is
based on ETC 300–220 but has additional unique re-
quirements. Other defined requirements are noted in
ANNEX VI of COMMISSION DIRECTIVE 95/56/EC.
Operation is subject to the following conditions:
• This device may not cause harmful interference.
• This device must accept any interference received,including interference that may cause undesired op-
eration.
If your RKE transmitter fails to operate from a normal
distance, check for these two conditions:
1. A weak battery in the transmitter. The expected life of the battery is a minimum of three years.
2. Closeness to a radio transmitter such as a radio station tower, airport transmitter, and some mobile
or CB radios.VEHICLE SECURITY ALARM
The Vehicle Security Alarm (VSA) system monitors the
vehicle doors, hood, and liftgate for unauthorized en-
try and the ignition switch for unauthorized operation.
If something triggers the alarm, the system will sound
the horn intermittently, flash the headlights and tail-
lights, and flash the Vehicle Security Light in the instru-
ment cluster.
Rearming Of The System
If something triggers the alarm, and no action is taken
to disarm it, the Vehicle Security Alarm will turn off the
horn after 29 seconds, turn off all of the visual signals
after one minute, and then the Vehicle Security Alarm
will rearm itself.
To Arm The System
Follow these steps to arm the Vehicle Security Alarm:
1. Make sure the vehicle ignition system is "OFF".(refer to "Starting Procedures" in "Starting And
Driving" for further information).
2. Perform one of the following methods to lock the vehicle:
• Press LOCK on the interior power door lock
switch with the driver and/or passenger door open.

PREMIUM SECURITY SYSTEM
(for versions/markets, where
provided)
The Premium Security system monitors the doors,
hood latch, and trunk for unauthorized entry and the
ignition switch for unauthorized operation. The system
also includes a dual function intrusion sensor and
vehicle tilt sensor. The intrusion sensor monitors the
vehicle interior for motion. The vehicle tilt sensor
monitors the vehicle for any tilting actions (tow away,
tire removal, ferry transport, etc).
In the event that something triggers the security sys-
tem, the headlights will turn on, the alarm will sound
and the turn signal and side repeater lights will flash for
29 seconds, and then the lights will continue to flash for
an additional 5 seconds. The system will repeat this
sequence for up to 8 security violations in any mode
(door ajar, motion, hood ajar, etc.) before having to
rearm the system. At the end of any particular trigger
event, the lights will continue to flash for 26 seconds.TO ARM THE SYSTEM
Follow these steps to arm the theft alarm:
1. Make sure the vehicle ignition system is "OFF".
(refer to "Starting Procedures" in "Starting And
Driving" for further information).
2. Perform one of the following methods to lock the vehicle:
•
Press LOCK on the interior power door lock switch
with the driver and/or passenger door open.
•Press the LOCK button on the exterior Passive
Entry Door Handle with a valid Key Fob available in the
same exterior zone (refer to "Keyless Enter-N-Go™"
in "Knowing Your Vehicle" for further information).
• Press the LOCK button on the Remote Keyless
Entry (RKE) transmitter.
3. If any doors are open, close them.
NOTE:
•
Once the security system is armed, it remains in that
state until you disarm it by following either of the
disarming procedures described. If a power loss occurs
after arming the system, you must disarm the system
after restoring power to prevent alarm activation.

The main display area will normally display the main
menu or the screens of a selected feature of the main
menu. The main display area also displays "pop up"
messages that consist of approximately 60 possible
warning or information messages. These pop up mes-
sages fall into several categories:
• Five Second Stored Messages
When the appropriate conditions occur, this type of
message takes control of the main display area for five
seconds and then returns to the previous screen. Most
of the messages of this type are then stored (as long as
the condition that activated it remains active) and can
be reviewed from the "Messages" main menu item. As
long as there is a stored message, an "i" will be displayed
in the EVIC's compass/outside temp line. Examples of
this message type are "Right Front Turn Signal Lamp
Out" and "Low Tire Pressure".
• Unstored Messages
This message type is displayed indefinitely or until the
condition that activated the message is cleared. Ex-
amples of this message type are "Turn Signal On" (if a
turn signal is left on) and "Lights On" (if driver leaves
the vehicle).
• Unstored Messages Until RUN
This message type is displayed until the ignition is in the
RUN state. Example of this message type is "Press
Brake Pedal and Push Button to Start".• Five Second Unstored Messages
When the appropriate conditions occur, this type of
message takes control of the main display area for five
seconds and then returns to the previous screen.
Examples of this message type are "Memory System
Unavailable - Not in Park" and "Automatic High Beams
On".
The Reconfigurable Telltales section is divided into the
white telltales area on the right, amber telltales in the
middle, and red telltales on the left.
When the appropriate conditions exist, the EVIC dis-
plays the following messages:
• Turn Signal On (with a continuous warning chime if
the vehicle is driven more than 1.6 km with either
turn signal on)
• Left Front Turn Signal Light Out (with a single chime)
• Left Rear Turn Signal Light Out (with a single chime)
• Right Front Turn Signal Light Out (with a single chime)
• Right Rear Turn Signal Light Out (with a single chime)
• RKE Battery Low (with a single chime)
• Personal Settings Not Available – Vehicle Not in PARK (for versions/markets, where provided)

arrows on each side of the instrument cluster flash to
show proper operation of the front and rear turn signal
lights.NOTE:
• If either light remains on and does not flash, or there
is a very fast flash rate, check for a defective outside
light bulb. If an indicator fails to light when the lever
is moved, it would suggest that the indicator bulb is
defective.

• Pumping of the Anti-Lock Brakes will diminish
their effectiveness and may lead to an accident .
Pumping makes the stopping distance longer. Just
press firmly on your brake pedal when you need

• The ABS cannot prevent the natural laws of
physics from acting on the vehicle, nor can it
increase braking or steering efficiency beyond
that afforded by the condition of the vehicle
brakes and tires or the traction afforded.
• The ABS cannot prevent accidents, including
those resulting from excessive speed in turns,
following another vehicle too closely, or hydro-
planing.
• The capabilities of an ABS equipped vehicle
must never be exploited in a reckless or danger-
ous manner, which could jeopardize the user's
safetyorthesafetyofothers.
All vehicle wheels and tires must be the same size and
type and tires must be properly inflated to produce
accurate signals for the computer. Anti-Lock Brake Light
The Anti-Lock Brake Light monitors the ABS.
The light will turn on when the ignition
switch is turned to the ON position and may
stay on for as long as four seconds.
If the ABS Light remains on or comes on while driving,
it indicates that the Anti-Lock portion of the brake
system is not functioning and that service is required.
However, the conventional brake system will continue
to operate normally if the Brake System Warning Light
is not on.
If the ABS Light is on, the brake system should be
serviced as soon as possible to restore the benefits of
Anti-Lock brakes. If the ABS Light does not come on
when the ignition switch is turned to the ON position,
have the light repaired as soon as possible.
If both the Brake System Warning Light and the ABS
Light remain on, the ABS and Electronic Brake Force
Distribution (EBD) systems are not functioning. Imme-
diate repair to the ABS system is required.
