SECURITY ALARM SYSTEM Ð IF EQUIPPED
This system monitors the vehicle doors, swing gate,
swing gate flip-up window, and ignition for unautho-
rized operation. When the alarm is activated, the system
provides both audible and visual signals. The horn,
headlights, and tail lights will sound/flash repeatedly for
three minutes. If disturbance is still present (driver's
door, passenger door, other doors, ignition) after three
minutes, the headlights and tail lights will flash for an
additional 15 minutes.
NOTE:The ªPanicº and ªSecurityº alarms are quite
different. Please take a moment to activate the ªPanicº
and the ªSecurityº modes to hear the differences in the
horn. In case one should go off in the future, you will
need to know which mode has been activated in order to
deactivate it.
To Set the Alarm
The alarm will set when you use the remote keyless entry
transmitter to lock the doors and swing gate or when you
use the power door lock switch while the door is open.
After all the doors are locked and closed, a red light in the
instrument cluster will flash rapidly for about 16 seconds
to signal that the system is arming. During this 16 second
arming period, opening any door or the swing gate will
cancel the arming. If the system successfully arms, the
red light will flash at a slower rate to indicate the alarm
is set.
To Disarm the System
To disarm the system, use the remote keyless entry
transmitter or the key to unlock the driver's door. If
something has triggered the system in your absence, the
horn will sound three times when you unlock the doors.
Check the vehicle for tampering.
28 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE

NOTE:On vehicles equipped with Remote Keyless
Entry (RKE), there will not be a door lock cylinder on the
front passenger door, rear doors, or rear swing gate.
Therefore, you will be unable to disarm the system with
a manual unlock of the passenger or rear doors.
The Security Alarm System is designed to protect your
vehicle; however, you can create conditions where the
system will arm unexpectedly. If you remain in the
vehicle and lock the doors with the transmitter, once the
system is armed (after 16 seconds), when you pull the
door handle to exit the alarm will sound. If this occurs,
press the ªUnlockº button on the remote keyless entry
transmitter to disarm the system. You may also acciden-
tally disarm the system by unlocking the driver's door
with the key and then locking it. The door will be locked
but the Security Alarm will not arm.REAR SWING GATE
NOTE:The master key that is used to start the vehicle is
also used to lock or unlock the front doors, and open the
rear swing gate.
To unlock the rear swing gate, insert the key into the lock
(if equipped) and turn counter clockwise. The swing gate
flip-up window will unlatch and the swing gate will
unlock.
WARNING!
To avoid injury stand back when opening. Glass will
automatically rise.
On vehicles equipped with power locks, the swing gate
can also be unlocked using the remote keyless entry, or
by activating the power door lock switches located on the
front doors.

automatically rise.
The vacuum fluorescent (VF) display located in the
odometer area displays the words ªGATEº and/or
ªGLASSº as an indication of when the swing gate and/or
flip-up window, is not completely closed. When the
vehicle is not moving and the swing gate and/or flip-up
window is not completely closed, the VF display will
show the word ªGATEº and/or ªGLASSº and then show
the odometer/trip odometer mileage (each for 2 sec-
onds). The display will continue to cycle.
30 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE

are being displayed, the VF display will revert back to
only displaying the odometer/trip odometer mileage.

Do not press on rear wiper blade when closing
swing gate, as damage to the blade will result.
WARNING!
Driving with the flip-up window open can allow
poisonous exhaust gases into your vehicle. You and
your passengers could be injured by these fumes.
Keep the flip-up window closed when you are
operating the vehicle.
NOTE: The rear swing gate will lock while the rear
wiper is operating. The gate will stay locked until the
wiper is turned off and the gate is unlocked (by key,
