Arming the system
When armed, this system will help protect your vehicle from
unauthorized entry. When unauthorized entry occurs, the system will
flash the headlamps, parking lamps, interior lamps and the theft indicator
lamp and will chirp the horn.
The system is ready to arm whenever the key is removed from the
ignition. Any of the following actions will prearm the alarm system:
²Lock the doors with the remote
transmitter (doors opened or
closed). The horn will chirp to
confirm that the control was
pressed. The horn chirp feature
can be turned on/off by using the
feature menu in the message
center.
²Press 7/8 and 9/0 controls on the
keyless entry pad at the same
time to lock the doors (doors
opened or closed).
²Open a door and press the power
door lock control to lock the
doors.
If a door is open, the system is prearmed and is waiting for the door to
close. The anti-theft indicator on the instrument panel will be lit
continuously when the system is prearmed.
Once the doors are closed, the system will arm in 30 seconds.

AIMING THE HEADLAMPS
Your vehicle is equipped with a Vehicle Headlamp Aim Device (VHAD)
on each headlamp. Each headlamp may be properly aimed in the vertical
(up/down) and the horizontal (left/right) directions using your VHAD
system. The headlamps on your vehicle are properly aimed at the
assembly plant.
A bubble (vertical indicator) that is not centered between the two red
lines does not necessarily indicate out-of-aim headlamps. If your vehicle
is not positioned on a level surface, the slope will be included in the
vertical indication. Therefore, vertical and horizontal headlamp
adjustment should be performed only when the beam direction appears
to be incorrect.
You will need one 4 mm wrench or socket to make the adjustments.
If the vehicle has been in an accident, the vehicle's front structure
should be properly aligned before aiming the headlamps.
