Programming spare SecuriLockYkeys
Spare SecuriLockykeys can be purchased from
your dealership and programmed to your
SecuriLockypassive anti-theft system (up to a total
of 8 keys). Your dealership can program your new
SecuriLockykey(s) to your vehicle or you can do it
yourself using the following simple procedure. To
program a new SecuriLockykey yourself, you will
need two previously programmed SecuriLockykeys
(keys that already operate your vehicle's engine). If
two previously programmed SecuriLockykeys are
not available (one or both of your original keys were
lost or stolen), you must bring your vehicle to your
dealership to have the spare SecuriLockykey(s)
programmed.
Procedure to program spare SecuriLockYkeys
to your vehicle
New SecuriLockykeys must have the correct
mechanical key cut for your vehicle.
Conventional (non-SecuriLocky) keyscannotbe
programmed to your vehicle.
You will need to have two previously programmed
SecuriLockykeys and the new unprogrammed
SecuriLockykey readily accessible for the
procedure. Please read and understand the entire
procedure before you begin.
1. Insert the first previously programmed
SecuriLockykey into the ignition and turn the
ignition from OFF to RUN (maintain ignition in RUN
for at least one second).
2. Turn ignition to OFF and remove the first
SecuriLockykey from the ignition.
3. Within five seconds of turning the ignition to OFF,
insert the second previously programmed
SecuriLockykey into the ignition and turn the
ignition from OFF to RUN (maintain ignition in RUN
for at least one second but no more than 5 seconds).

4. Turn the ignition to OFF and remove the second
SecuriLockykey from the ignition.
5. Within 10 seconds of turning the ignition to OFF,
insert the unprogrammed SecuriLockykey (new
key/valet key) into the ignition and turn the ignition
from OFF to RUN (maintain ignition in RUN for at
least one second). This step will program your new
SecuriLockykey.
6. To program additional SecuriLockykey(s), repeat
this procedure from step 1.
If the programming procedure was successful, the
new SecuriLockykey(s) will start the vehicle's
engine. The theft indicator (located on the
instrument cluster) will light for three seconds and
then go out.
If the programming procedure was not successful,
the new SecuriLockykey(s) will not operate the
vehicle's engine. The theft indicator will flash on and
off. Wait at least one minute and then repeat the
procedure from step 1. If failure repeats, bring your
vehicle to your dealership to have the spare
SecuriLockykey(s) programmed.

STARTING THE ENGINE
1. Turn the key to 5
(START) without
pressing the
accelerator pedal and
release as soon as the
engine starts. The key
will return to 4 (ON).
2. If the temperature is above ±12ÉC (10ÉF) and the
engine does not start within five seconds on the first
try, turn the key to OFF, wait ten seconds and try
again.
3. If the temperature is below -12ÉC (10ÉF) and the
engine does not start in fifteen seconds on the first
try, turn the key OFF and wait ten seconds and try
again. If the engine does not start in two attempts,
depress the accelerator and start the engine while
holding the accelerator down to the floor. Release
the accelerator when the engine starts.
4. After idling for a few seconds, apply the brake
and release the parking brake.
Using the engine block heater (if equipped)
An engine block heater warms the engine coolant,
which improves starting, warms up the engine faster
and allows the heater-defroster system to respond
quickly. Use of an engine block heater is strongly
recommended if you live in a region where
temperatures reach -23ÉC (-10ÉF) or below.
For best results, plug the heater in at least three
hours before starting the vehicle. Using the heater
for longer than three hours will not harm the engine,
so the heater can be plugged in the night before
starting the vehicle.
To prevent electrical shock, do not use your
heater with ungrounded electrical systems
or two-pronged (cheater) adapters.

To prevent damage to the power steering pump:
²Never hold the steering wheel to the extreme
right or the extreme left for more than a few
seconds when the engine is running.
²Do not operate the vehicle with a low power
steering pump fluid level.
If the power steering system breaks down (or if the
engine is turned off), you can steer the vehicle
manually, but it takes more effort.
If the steering wanders or pulls, the condition could
be caused by any of the following:
²underinflated tire(s) on any wheel(s)
²high crown in center of road
²high crosswinds
²wheels out of alignment
²loose or worn components in steering linkage
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION OPERATION

TRACTION-LOK AXLE (IF EQUIPPED)
This axle provides added traction on slippery
surfaces, particularly when one wheel is on a poor
traction surface. Under normal conditions, the
Traction-Lok axle functions like a standard rear axle.
Extended use of other than the manufacturer's
specified size tires on a Traction-Lok rear axle could
result in a permanent reduction in effectiveness.
This loss of effectiveness does not affect normal
driving and should not be noticeable to the driver.
To avoid injury, never run the engine with
one wheel off the ground, such as when
changing a tire.
Driving

Use the following procedure to reset the fuel pump
shut-off switch.
1. Turn the ignition to the OFF position.
2. Check the fuel system for leaks.
3. If no fuel leak is apparent, reset the fuel pump
shut-off switch by pushing in on the reset button.
4. Turn the ignition to the ON position. Pause for a
few seconds and return the key to the OFF position.
5. Make a further check for leaks in the fuel system.
FUSES AND RELAYS
Fuses
If electrical
components in the
vehicle are not
working, a fuse may
have blown. Blown
fuses are identified by a broken wire within the fuse.
Check the appropriate fuses before replacing any
electrical components.
Always replace a fuse with one that has the
specified amperage rating. Using a fuse with
a higher amperage rating can cause severe wire
damage and could start a fire.
