the hazard warning lights will blink 
continuously if any of the following 
occur:
 -A door is opened without using the 
smart key.
 -The liftgate is opened without using 
the smart key.
 -The engine hood is opened.
The alarm continues for 30 seconds, then 
the system resets. To turn off the alarm,

The Theft Alarm System automatically 
sets 30 seconds after you lock the 
doors and the liftgate. For the system to 
activate, you must lock the doors and 
the liftgate from outside the vehicle with 
the smart key or by touching the touch 
sensor on the outside of the door handle 
with the smart key in your possession.
The hazard warning lights will blink and 
the chime will sound once to indicate the 
system is armed.
Once the security system is set, opening 
any door, the liftgate, or the hood 
without using the smart key will cause 
the alarm to activate.
The Theft Alarm System will not set if the 
hood, the liftgate, or any door is not fully 
closed. If the system will not set, check 
the hood, the liftgate, or the doors are 
fully closed.
Do not attempt to alter this system or 
add other devices to it.

• Do not lock the doors until all 
passengers have left the vehicle. If the 
remaining passenger leaves the vehicle 
when the system is armed, the alarm 
will be activated.

mechanical key and start the engine by 
directly pressing the Engine Start/Stop 
button with the smart key.

the vehicle, but neither a door or the 
liftgate is opened within 30 seconds, the 
doors will re-lock and the system will 
rearm automatically.
• It is not recommended to install any 
secondary aftermarket theft-alarm 
systems into the vehicle factory 
electrical system.

Opening the hood
OJX1059041 OJX1059041 
1. Park the vehicle and set the parking 
brake.
2. Pull the release lever to unlatch the 
hood. The hood should pop open 
slightly.
OJX1059042 OJX1059042 
3. Go to the front of the vehicle, raise the 
hood slightly, push up the secondary 
latch (1) inside of the hood center and 
lift the hood (2).
After the hood has been lifted halfway, 
it will raise completely by itself.
Closing the hood
1. Before closing the hood, check in and 
around the engine compartment to 
ensure the following:
 -Any tools or other loose objects 
are removed from the engine room 
area or hood opening area
 -All glove, rags, or other 
combustible material is removed 
from the engine compartment
 -All filler caps are tightly and 
correctly installed
2. Lower the hood halfway (lifted 
approximately 12 in. (30 cm) from the 
closed position) and push down to 
securely lock in place. Then double 
check to be sure the hood is secure. 
If the hood can be raised slightly, it is 
not securely locked. Open it again and 
close it with more force.
 WARNING
• Before closing the hood, ensure 
all obstructions are removed from 
around the hood opening.
• Always double check to be sure that 
the hood is firmly latched before 
driving away. Check there is no 
hood open warning light or message 
displayed on the instrument cluster. 
Driving with the hood opened may 
cause a total loss of visibility, which 
might result in an accident.
• Do not move the vehicle with the 
hood in the raised position, as vision 
is obstructed, which might result in 
an accident, and the hood could fall 
or be damaged.

Before Entering the Vehicle
• Be sure all windows, outside mirror(s), 
and outside lights are clean and 
unobstructed.
• Remove frost, snow, or ice.
• Visually check the tires for uneven 
wear and damage.
• Check under the vehicle for any sign 
of leaks.
• Be sure there are no obstacles behind 
you if you intend to back up.
Before Starting
• Make sure the hood, the liftgate, and 
the doors are securely closed and 
locked.
• Adjust the position of the seat and 
steering wheel.
• Adjust the inside and outer side view 
mirrors.
• Verify all the lights work.
• Fasten your seat belt. Check that all 
passengers have fastened their seat 
belts.
• Check the gauges and indicators 
in the instrument panel and the 
messages on the instrument display 
when the ignition switch is in the ON 
position.
• Check that any items you are carrying 
are stored properly or fastened down 
securely.
 WARNING
To reduce the risk of SERIOUS INJURY or 
DEATH, take the following precautions:
• ALWAYS wear your seat belt. All 
passengers must be properly belted 
whenever the vehicle is moving. 
For more information, refer to “Seat 
Belts” section in chapter 3.
• Always drive defensively. Assume 
other drivers or pedestrians may be 
careless and make mistakes.
• Stay focused on the task of driving. 
Driver distraction can cause 
accidents.
• Leave plenty of space between you 
and the vehicle in front of you.
 WARNING
NEVER drink or take drugs and drive.
Drinking or taking drugs and driving 
is dangerous and may result in an 
accident and SERIOUS INJURY or 
DEATH.
Drunk driving is the number one 
contributor to the highway death 
toll each year. Even a small amount 
of alcohol will affect your reflexes, 
perceptions and judgment. Just 
one drink can reduce your ability to 
respond to changing conditions and 
emergencies and your reaction time 
gets worse with each additional drink.
Driving while under the influence 
of drugs is as dangerous or more 
dangerous than driving under the 
influence of alcohol.
You are much more likely to have a 
serious accident if you drink or take 
drugs and drive. If you are drinking or 
taking drugs, don’t drive. Do not ride 
with a driver who has been drinking 
or taking drugs. Choose a designated 
driver or call a taxi.
