A WORD ABOUT YOUR
KEYS
Your vehicle uses a keyless ignition
system. This system consists of a Key
Fob with Remote Keyless Entry
(RKE) transmitter and a Keyless Ig-
nition Node (KIN).
Keyless Enter-N-Go™ Feature
This vehicle is equipped with the Key-
less Enter-N-Go™ feature, (refer to
"Keyless Enter-N-Go™" in "Things
To Know Before Starting Your Ve-
hicle" for further information).
KEYLESS IGNITION NODE
(KIN)
This feature allows the driver to oper-
ate the ignition switch with the push
of a button, as long as the Remote
Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter is in
the passenger compartment.
The Keyless Ignition Node (KIN) has
four operating positions, three of
which are labeled and will illuminate
when in position. The three positionsare LOCK/OFF, ACC, and ON/RUN.
The fourth position is START. During
start RUN will illuminate.
NOTE: In case the ignition switch
does not change with the push of a
button, the RKE transmitter (Key
Fob) may have a low or dead bat-
tery. In this situation a back up
method can be used to operate the
ignition switch. Put the nose side
(side opposite of the emergency
key) of the Key Fob against the
ENGINE START/STOP button and
push to operate the ignition
switch.
KEY FOB
The Key Fob also contains the Remote
Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter and
an emergency key, which stores in the
rear of the Key Fob.
The emergency key allows for entry
into the vehicle should the battery in
the vehicle or the Key Fob go dead.
The emergency key is also for locking
the glove box. You can keep the emer-
gency key with you when valet park-
ing.
To remove the emergency key, slide
the mechanical latch on the back of
the Key Fob sideways with your

VEHICLE SECURITY
ALARM
The Vehicle Security Alarm monitors
the vehicle doors, hood and trunk for
unauthorized entry and the Keyless
Enter-N-Go™ Start/Stop button for
unauthorized operation. While the
Vehicle Security Alarm is armed, inte-
rior switches for door locks and deck-
lid release are disabled. If something triggers the alarm, the Vehicle Secu-
rity Alarm will provide the following
audible and visible signals: the horn
will pulse, the park lamps and/or turn
signals will flash, and the Vehicle Se-
curity Light in the instrument cluster
will flash.
REARMING OF THE
SYSTEM
If something triggers the alarm, and
no action is taken to disarm it, the
Vehicle Security Alarm will turn off
the horn after 29 seconds, and turn off
all of the visual signals after an addi-
tional 31 seconds, then the Vehicle
Security Alarm will rearm itself.

power door lock switches will
not unlock the doors.
The Vehicle Security Alarm is de-
signed to protect your vehicle; how-
ever, you can create conditions where
the system will give you a false alarm.
If one of the previously described
arming sequences has occurred, the
Vehicle Security Alarm will arm re-
gardless of whether you are in the
vehicle or not. If you remain in the
vehicle and open a door, the alarm
will sound. If this occurs, disarm the
Vehicle Security Alarm. If the Vehicle Security Alarm is armed
and the battery becomes discon-
nected, the Vehicle Security Alarm
will remain armed when the battery is
reconnected; the exterior lights will
flash, the horn will sound. If this oc-
curs, disarm the Vehicle Security
Alarm.
PREMIUM SECURITY
SYSTEM (for
versions/markets, where
provided)
The Premium Security system moni-
tors the doors, hood latch, and trunk
for unauthorized entry and the igni-
tion switch for unauthorized opera-
tion. The system also includes a dual
function intrusion sensor and vehicle
tilt sensor. The intrusion sensor moni-
tors the vehicle interior for motion.
The vehicle tilt sensor monitors the
vehicle for any tilting actions (tow
away, tire removal, ferry transport,
etc).
In the event that something triggers
the security system, the headlights
will turn on, the alarm will sound and
the turn signal and side repeater lights
will flash for 29 seconds, and then the
lights will continue to flash for an
additional 5 seconds. The system will
repeat this sequence for up to 8 secu-
rity violations in any mode (door ajar,
motion, hood ajar, etc.) before having
to rearm the system. At the end of any
particular trigger event, the lights will
continue to flash for 26 seconds.

8. Tire Pressure Monitoring Tell-
tale LightEach tire, including the
spare (if provided), should
be checked monthly when
cold and inflated to the in-
flation pressure recommended by the
vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle
placard or tire inflation pressure la-
bel.
As an added safety feature, your ve-
hicle has been equipped with a Tire
Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
that illuminates a low tire pressure
telltale when one or more of your tires
is significantly under-inflated. Ac-
cordingly, when the low tire pressure
telltale illuminates, you should stop
and check your tires as soon as pos-
sible, and inflate them to the proper
pressure. Driving on a significantly
under-inflated tire causes the tire to
overheat and can lead to tire failure.
Under-inflation also reduces fuel effi-
ciency and tire tread life, and may
affect the vehicle’s handling and stop-
ping ability. Please note that the TPMS is not a
substitute for proper tire mainte-
nance, and it is the driver’s responsi-
bility to maintain correct tire pres-
sure, even if under-inflation has not
reached the level to trigger illumina-
tion of the TPMS low tire pressure
telltale.
Your vehicle has also been equipped
with a TPMS malfunction indicator to
indicate when the system is not oper-
ating properly. The TPMS malfunc-
tion indicator is combined with the
low tire pressure telltale. When the
system detects a malfunction, the tell-
tale will flash for approximately one
minute and then remain continuously
illuminated. This sequence will con-
tinue upon subsequent vehicle start-
ups as long as the malfunction exists.
When the malfunction indicator is il-
luminated, the system may not be
able to detect or signal low tire pres-
sure as intended. TPMS malfunctions
may occur for a variety of reasons,
including the installation of replace-
ment or alternate tires or wheels on
the vehicle that prevent the TPMS
from functioning properly. Alwayscheck the TPMS malfunction telltale
after replacing one or more tires or
wheels on your vehicle, to ensure that
the replacement or alternate tires and
wheels allow the TPMS to continue to
function properly.
CAUTION!
The TPMS has been optimized for
the original equipment tires and
wheels. TPMS pressures and warn-
ing have been established for the
tire size equipped on your vehicle.
Undesirable system operation or
sensor damage may result when us-
ing replacement equipment that is
not of the same size, type, and/or
style. Aftermarket wheels can cause
sensor damage. Do not use tire seal-
ant from a can or balance beads if
your vehicle is equipped with a
TPMS, as damage to the sensors
may result.

19. Seat Belt Reminder LightWhen the ignition switch is
first turned to ON/RUN, this
light will turn on for four to
eight seconds as a bulb check. During
the bulb check, if the driver's seat belt
is unbuckled, a chime will sound. Af-
ter the bulb check or when driving, if
the driver or passenger's (for
versions/markets, where provided)
seat belt remains unbuckled, the Seat
Belt Reminder Light will illuminate
and the chime will sound. Refer to
“Occupant Restraints” in “Things To
Know Before Starting Your Vehicle”
for further information.
20. Temperature Gauge
The temperature gauge shows engine
coolant temperature. Any reading
within the normal range indicates
that the engine cooling system is op-
erating satisfactorily.
The gauge pointer will likely indicate
a higher temperature when driving in
hot weather, up mountain grades, or
when towing a trailer. It should not be
allowed to exceed the upper limits of
the normal operating range.CAUTION!
Driving with a hot engine cooling
system could damage your vehicle.
If the temperature gauge reads “H”
pull over and stop the vehicle. Idle
the vehicle with the air conditioner
turned off until the pointer drops
back into the normal range. If the
pointer remains on the “H” and you
hear continuous chimes, turn the
engine off immediately and call an
authorized dealer for service.
WARNING!
A hot engine cooling system is dan-
gerous. You or others could be
badly burned by steam or boiling
coolant. You may want to call an
authorized dealer for service if your
vehicle overheats. If you decide to
look under the hood yourself, see
“Maintaining Your Vehicle”. Fol-
low the warnings under the Cooling
System Pressure Cap paragraph. 21. AWD (All Wheel Drive) Indica-
tor (for versions/ markets, where
provided)
The AWD indicator will illuminate
when All Wheel Drive (AWD) is
activated.
ELECTRONIC VEHICLE
INFORMATION CENTER
(EVIC)
The Electronic Vehicle Information
Center (EVIC) features a driver-
interactive display that is located in
the instrument cluster.
This system allows the driver to select
a variety of useful information by
Electronic Vehicle Information
Center (EVIC)

filter to prevent engine damage. Refer
to “Maintenance Procedures/ Drain-
ing Fuel/Water Separator Filter” in
“Maintaining Your Vehicle” for water
drain procedure.
SERV AWD (Service All Wheel
Drive) Indicator (for versions/
markets, where provided)This light will turn on when
the All Wheel Drive feature
requires service. For further
information, refer to “All
Wheel Drive” in “Starting And
Operating.”
EVIC RED TELLTALES
This area will show reconfigurable red
telltales. These telltales include:
Door Ajar
This telltale turns on when
one or more doors are ajar.
The telltale will show which
doors are ajar.
Trunk Ajar
This light will turn on to
indicate that the trunk lid is
ajar. Oil Pressure Warning Telltale
This telltale indicates low en-
gine oil pressure. If the light
turns on while driving, stop the ve-
hicle and shut off the engine as soon
as possible. A chime will sound for
four minutes when this light turns on.
Do not operate the vehicle until the
cause is corrected. This light does not
show how much oil is in the engine.
The engine oil level must be checked
under the hood.
Charging System Telltale
This telltale shows the status
of the electrical charging sys-
tem. If the telltale stays on or comes
on while driving, turn off some of the
vehicle's non-essential electrical de-
vices or increase engine speed (if at
idle). If the charging system telltale
remains on, it means that the vehicle
is experiencing a problem with the
charging system. Obtain SERVICE
IMMEDIATELY. See an authorized
dealer. If jump starting is required, refer to
“Jump Starting Procedures” in “What
To Do In Emergencies”.
Electronic Throttle Control
(ETC) Telltale
This telltale informs you of
a problem with the Elec-
tronic Throttle Control
(ETC) system. If the telltale
comes on while driving, have the sys-
tem checked by an authorized dealer.
If a problem is detected, the telltale
will come on while the engine is run-
ning. Cycle the ignition key when the
vehicle has completely stopped and
the shift lever is placed in the PARK
position. The telltale should turn off.
If the telltale remains lit with the en-
gine running, your vehicle will usually
be drivable. However, see an autho-
rized dealer for service as soon as pos-
sible. If the telltale is flashing when
the engine is running, immediate ser-
vice is required. You may experience
reduced performance, an elevated/
rough idle or engine stall and your
vehicle may require towing.
