ground and mark an 8 foot
(2.4 meter) horizontal reference line
on the vertical wall or screen at this
height.
3. Turn on the low beam headlamps to illuminate the wall or screen and
open the hood.
To see a clearer light pattern for adjusting, you may want to block the
light from one headlamp while adjusting the other.
For vehicles with halogen headlamps:
On the wall or screen you will
observe a flat zone of high intensity
light located at the top of the right
hand portion of the beam pattern. If
the top edge of the high intensity
light zone is not at the horizontal
reference line, the headlamp will
need to be adjusted.
For vehicles with HID headlamps:
There is a distinct cut-off (change
from light to dark) in the left
portion of the beam pattern. The
top edge of this cut-off should be
positioned 2 inches (5 cm) below
the horizontal reference line.

PERIMETER ALARM SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)
The perimeter alarm system will warn you in case of unauthorized entry
to your vehicle.
When the following types of unauthorized entry occur:
•any door, the hood or the liftgate/trunk is opened without using the
keypad, the remote entry transmitter or the intelligent access
transmitter (if equipped),
•or if the ignition is turned on with an invalid key,
the perimeter alarm will flash the turn signal lamps and sound the horn
up to a total of 10 times.
ARMING THE SYSTEM
The system is ready to arm whenever the ignition is off. To arm the
system, do one of the following:
•Press the
control on the remote entry transmitter.
Note:If you press the
control twice on the remote entry
transmitter within three seconds, the horn will chirponceto let you
know that all doors, the hood and the liftgate/trunk are closed. If any
of these are not closed, the horn will chirptwiceto warn you that
they are still open.
•Press the driver or passenger interior door lock control
while a
front door is open, then close the door.
•Lock the doors using the intelligent access (if equipped) method
(press the lock area in either front door handle).
•Press and hold the 7•8 and 9•0 controls together on the keyless
entry pad to lock the doors (driver’s door must be closed).

because it is designed to inflate downward from the headliner above the
doors along the side window opening.
The Safety Canopy system is designed to activate when the vehicle
sustains lateral deceleration sufficient to cause the side crash sensor to
close an electrical circuit that initiates Safety Canopy inflation or when a
certain likelihood of a rollover event is detected by the rollover sensor.
The Safety Canopy is mounted to roof side-rail sheet metal, behind the
headliner, above each row of seats. In certain lateral collisions or rollover
events, the Safety Canopy system will be activated, regardless of which
seats are occupied. The Safety Canopy is designed to inflate between the
side window area and occupants to further enhance protection provided
in side impact collisions and rollover events.
The fact that the Safety Canopy did not activate in a collision does not
mean that something is wrong with the system. Rather, it means the
forces were not of the type sufficient to cause activation. The Safety
Canopy is designed to inflate in certain side impact collisions or rollover
events, not in rear impact, frontal or near-frontal collisions, unless the
collision causes sufficient lateral deceleration or rollover likelihood.
WARNING:If the Safety
Canopy system has
deployed, the Safety Canopy will
not function again unless replaced.
The Safety Canopy system
(including the A, B, C, and D
pillar trim and headliner) must be
inspected and serviced by an
authorized dealer. If the Safety
Canopy is not replaced, it will not
function again, which will increase
the risk of injury in a future
collision.
Determining if the system is operational
The SRS uses a readiness light in the instrument cluster or a tone to
indicate the condition of the system. Refer toWarning lights and
chimesin theInstrument Clusterchapter. Routine maintenance of the
airbag is not required.
