8 (Lock): Pressing this button once will lock all of the
doors. Pressing the button again within three seconds
may cause the horn
to chirp for lock confirmation.
You can choose different feedback options for each
press of the lock button, such as having the vehicle’s
perimeter lamps flash and/or having the horn chirp. See
DIC Operation and Displays on page 3-43 for more
information.
& (Panic): When this button is pressed, the horn will
sound and the headlamps and taillamps will flash for
up
to 30 seconds. This can be turned off by pressing the
button again, or by waiting for
30 seconds, or by
starting the vehicle.
Matching Transmitter(s) to Your
Vehicle
Each remote keyless entry transmitter is coded to
prevent another transmitter from unlocking your vehicle.
If a transmitter is
lost or stolen, a replacement can
be purchased through your dealer. Remember
to bring
any remaining transmitters with you when you go
to
your dealer. When the dealer matches the replacement
transmitter
to your vehicle, any remaining transmitters
must also be matched. Once your dealer has coded the
new transmitter, the
lost transmitter will not unlock
your vehicle. Each vehicle can have a maximum of four
transmitters matched
to it.
Battery Replacement
Under normal use, the battery in your remote keyless
entry transmitter should last about two years.
You can tell the battery is weak
if the transmitter won’t
work at the normal range in any location. If you have
to get close to your vehicle before the transmitter works,
it’s probably time
to change the battery.
Notice: When replacing the battery, use care not to
touch any of the circuitry. Static from your body
transferred to these surfaces may damage the
transmitter.

Theft-Deterrent Systems
Vehicle theft is big business, especially in some cities.
Although your vehicle has a number of theft-deterrent
features, we know that nothing we put on it can make it
impossible
to steal.
Content Theft-Deterrent
Your vehicle is equipped with a content theft-deterrent
alarm system.
With this system, the
security light in the instrument panel cluster
will flash as you open
the door
if your ignition
is
off.
This light reminds you to activate the theft-deterrent
system. Here’s how
to do it:
1. Open the door.
2. Lock the door with the power door lock switch or
the remote keyless entry transmitter. The security
light should come
on and stay on.
3. Close all doors. The security light should go off
after about 30 seconds. The alarm is not armed
until the security light goes
off.
If a locked door is opened without the key or the remote
keyless entry transmitter, the alarm will
go off. The
headlamps and parking lamps will flash for
two minutes,
and the horn will sound for
30 seconds, then will turn
off to save the battery power. You can choose different
feedback options for the alarm. See Driver lnformation
Center
(DIC) on page 3-43.
Remember, the theft-deterrent system won’t activate if
you lock the doors with a key or use the manual
door lock.
It activates only if you use a power door lock
switch with the door open, or with the remote keyless
entry transmitter. You should also remember that
you can start your vehicle with the correct ignition key
if
the alarm has been set off.
Here’s how to avoid setting off the alarm by accident:
If you don’t want to activate the theft-deterrent
system, the vehicle should be locked with the door
key after the doors are closed.
Always unlock a door with a key, or use the remote
keyless entry transmitter. Unlocking a door any
other way will set
off the alarm.
If you set
off the alarm by accident, unlock any door with
the key. You can also turn
off the alarm by pressing
unlock on the remote keyless entry transmitter. The alarm
won’t stop
if you try to unlock a door any other way.
2-1 6

Testing the Alarm Passlock@’
The alarm can be tested by following these steps:
1. From inside the vehicle, lower the driver’s window
and open the driver’s door.
2. Activate the system by locking the doors with the
power door lock switch while the door is open, or
with the remote keyless entry transmitter.
3. Get out of the vehicle, close the door and wait for
the security light
to go out.
4. Then reach in through the window, unlock the door
with the manual door lock and open the door. This
should set
off the alarm.
While the alarm is set, the power door unlock switch is
not operational.
If the alarm does not sound when it should but the
headlamps flash, check
to see if the horn works. The
horn fuse may be blown. To replace the fuse, see Fuses
and Circuit Breakers on page
5-87.
If the alarm does not sound or the headlamps do not
flash, the vehicle should be serviced by your dealer. Your
vehicle is equipped with the Passlock@
theft-deterrent system.
Passlock@ is a passive theft-deterrent system. Passlock@
enables fuel
if the ignition lock cylinder is turned with
a valid key. If a correct key is not used or the ignition
lock cylinder is tampered with, the fuel system is
disabled and the vehicle will not start.
During normal operation, the security light will turn
off
approximately five seconds after the key is turned
to RUN.
If the engine stalls and the security light flashes, wait
about
10 minutes until the light stops flashing before
trying
to restart the engine. Remember to release
the key from START as soon as the engine starts.
If the engine does not start after three tries, the vehicle
needs service.
If the engine is running and the security light comes on,
you will be able to restart the engine
if you turn the engine
off. However, your Passlock@system is not working
properly and must be serviced by your dealer. Your
vehicle is not protected by Passlock@at this time. You
may also want
to check the fuse. See Fuses and Circuit
Breakers
on page 5-87. See your dealer for service.
In an emergency, call the Roadside Assistance Center.
See Roadside Assistance Program
on page 7-5.

STABILITY SYS ACTIVE
You may see the STABILITY SYS ACTIVE message on
the DIC. It means that an advanced computer-controlled
system has come on
to help your vehicle continue to
go in the direction in which you’re steering.
Stabilitrak@activates when the computer senses that
your vehicle is just starting to spin, as
it might if you hit
a patch of ice or other slippery spot on the road.

Problem
The remote control does not work.
After stopping the player,
I
push Play but sometimes
the DVD starts where
I
left off and sometimes at
the beginning.
The auxiliary source is
running but there is no
picture or sound.
Recommended Action
Point the remote control
directly at the infrared
window below the video
screen while using.
Check that the batteries are not dead or put in
wrong.
The parental control
button might have been
pressed. (The power indicator light will flash.)
If the stop button was
pressed one time, the
DVD player will resume
playing where the DVD
was stopped. If the stop
button was pressed two
times the DVD player will
begin to play from the
beginning of the DVD.
Press the SRCE button to
change from the DVD player mode
to the
auxiliary source mode.
Check to make sure that
the auxiliary source is
connected to the inputs
properly.
Problem
My disc is stuck in the
player. The Load/Eject
button does not work.
Sometimes the wireless
headphone audio cuts out
or buzzes.
I lost the remote and/or
the headphones.
What is the best way
to
clean the video screen?
Recommended Action
Press the Load/Eject
button on the DVD player.
Turn the power
off, then
on again, then press the
Load/Eject button on the DVD player.
Do not attempt
to forcibly
remove the disc from the
DVD player. This could
permanently damage the DVD player.
This could be caused by
interference from cellular
telephone towers or by
using your cellular
telephone in the vehicle.
See your dealer for
assistance.
Wipe the video screen with a soft cloth that
is
damp with water.
3-80

Notice: If the other system isn’t a 12-volt system
with a negative ground, both vehicles can be
damaged.
2.
Get the vehicles close enough so the jumper cables
can reach, but be sure the vehicles aren’t touching
each other.
If they are, it could cause a ground
connection you don’t want. You wouldn’t be able
to
start your vehicle, and the bad grounding could
damage the electrical systems.
To avoid the possibility of the vehicles rolling, set
the parking brake firmly on both vehicles involved in
the jump start procedure. Put an automatic
transmission in PARK (P) or a manual transmission
in NEUTRAL before setting the parking brake.
Notice: If you leave your radio on, it could be badly
damaged. The repairs wouldn’t be covered by
your warranty.
3. Turn off the ignition on both vehicles. Unplug
unnecessary accessories plugged into the cigarette
lighter or accessory power outlets. Turn
off the
radio and all lamps that aren’t needed. This
will avoid sparks and help save both batteries.
And it could save your radio!
4. Open the hoods and locate the positive (+) and
negative
(-) terminal locations of the other vehicle.
Your vehicle has a remote positive
(+) jump
starting terminal and a remote negative
(-) jump
starting terminal.
You should always use these
remote terminals instead
of the terminals on the
battery.
The remote positive
(+)
terminal is located under a red plastic cover near
the engine accessory drive
bracket.
To access the
remote positive
(+)
terminal, open the red
plastic cover.
5-41

8. Now connect the black
negative
(-) cable to the
negative
(-) terminal
of the good battery. Use
a remote negative
(-)
terminal if the vehicle has
one. Your vehicle’s
remote negative
(-)
terminal is marked GND.
Don’t let the other end touch anything until the next
step. The other end of the negative
(-) cable
doesn’t go to the dead battery.
It goes to a heavy,
unpainted metal engine part or
to a remote
negative
(-) terminal on the vehicle with the
dead battery.
9. Connect the other end of
the negative (-) cable at
least
18 inches (45 cm)
away from the dead
battery, but not near
engine parts that move.
The electrical connection is just as good there, and
the chance of sparks getting back
to the battery
is much less.
10. Now start the vehicle with the good battery and run
the engine for awhile.
11. Try to start the vehicle that had the dead battery. If
it won’t start after a few tries, it probably needs
service.
Notice: Damage to your vehicle may result from
electrical shorting if jumper cables are removed
incorrectly.
To prevent electrical shorting, take care
that the cables don’t touch each other or any
other metal. The repairs wouldn’t be covered by
your warranty.
