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:
• Push LOCK on the interior power door lock
switch with the driver and/or passenger door open.
• Push 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 infor-
mation).
• Push 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 oc-
curs after arming the system, you must disarm the
system after restoring power to prevent alarm acti-
vation.

• The ultrasonic intrusion sensor (motion detector)actively monitors your vehicle every time you arm
the security system. If you prefer, you can turn OFF
the ultrasonic intrusion sensor and vehicle tilt sensor
when arming the security system. To do so, push the
LOCK button on the RKE transmitter three times
within 5 seconds of arming the system (while the
Vehicle Security Light is flashing rapidly).
TO DISARM THE SYSTEM
The Vehicle Security Alarm can be disarmed using any
of the following methods:
• Push the UNLOCK button on the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter.
• Grasp the Passive Entry Unlock 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).
• Cycle the vehicle ignition system out of the OFF position by pushing the Keyless Enter-N-Go™ Start/
Stop button (requires at least one valid Key Fob in
the vehicle). NOTE:
• The driver's door key cylinder and the trunk button
on the RKE transmitter cannot arm or disarm the
Vehicle Security Alarm.
• When the Vehicle Security Alarm is armed, the interior power door lock switches will not unlock
the doors.
The Vehicle Security Alarm is designed to protect your
vehicle; however, you can create conditions where the
system will give you a false alarm. If one of the previ-
ously 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, the horn will sound. If this
occurs, disarm the Vehicle Security Alarm.
SECURITY SYSTEM MANUAL OVERRIDE
The system will not arm if you lock the doors using the
manual door lock plunger.

WHEEL
With the engine running, rotate the steering wheel
one-half revolution in either direction (three o’clock or
nine o’clock position), turn off the engine and remove
the key. Turn the steering wheel slightly in either
direction until the lock engages.
TO RELEASE THE STEERING WHEEL LOCK
Cycle the ignition and start the engine.
NOTE:If you turned the wheel to the right to engage
the lock, you must turn the wheel slightly to the right
to disengage it. If you turned the wheel to the left to
engage the lock, turn the wheel slightly to the left to
disengage it.

If a problem is detected, the light will come on while
the engine is running. Cycle the ignition key when the
vehicle has completely stopped and the shift lever is
placed in the PARK position (for versions/markets,
where provided). The light should turn off.
If the light remains lit with the engine running, your
vehicle will usually be drivable. However, see an autho-
rized dealer for service as soon as possible. If the light
is flashing when the engine is running, immediate ser-
vice is required. You may experience reduced perfor-
mance, an elevated/rough idle or engine stall and your
vehicle may require towing.
• Engine Temperature Warning LightThis light warns of an overheated engine condi-
tion. As temperatures rise and the gauge ap-
proaches H,this indicator will illuminate and a
single chime will sound after reaching a set threshold.
Further overheating will cause the temperature gauge
to pass H,a continuous chime will occur until the
engine is allowed to cool.
If the light turns on while driving, safely pull over and
stop the vehicle. If the A/C system is on, turn it off.
Also, shift the transmission into NEUTRAL and idle the
vehicle. If the temperature reading does not return to
normal, turn the engine off immediately and call for
service. • Transmission Temperature Warning Light (for
versions/markets, where provided)
This light indicates that the transmission fluid
temperature is running hot. This may occur
with severe usage, such as trailer towing. If
this light turns on, safely pull over and stop
the vehicle. Then, shift the transmission into NEU-
TRAL and run the engine at idle or faster until the light
turns off.
Continuous driving with the Transmission
Temperature Warning Light illuminated
will eventually cause severe transmission
damage or transmission failure.
WARNING!
If you continue operating the vehicle
wh en

the Transmission Temperature
Warning Light is illuminated you could cause the
fluid to boil over, come in contact with hot engine
or exhaust components and cause a fire.
