Vehicle Security Alarm The vehicle security alarm monitors the
vehicle doors and trunk for
unauthorized entry and the
START/STOP button for unauthorized
operations.
The system includes a dual function
anti-intrusion sensor and vehicle
anti-lift sensor. The anti-intrusion
sensor monitors the vehicle interior for
motion.
The vehicle anti-lift sensor monitors
the vehicle for any lifting or tilting
actions (tow away, tire removal, ferry
transport, etc). A siren with battery
backup which senses interruptions of
power and communications is also
included.
While the vehicle security alarm is
enabled, interior door locks switches,
trunk lid and fuel filler door release
are disabled. If something triggers the
alarm, the vehicle security alarm will
provide the following audible and
visible signals: intermittent buzzer,
position lights and/or turn signals and
the vehicle security light on the
dashboard will flash.
This light will fast flash for
approximately 15 seconds, when the
vehicle security alarm is being armed, and will then flash slowly until the
vehicle is disarmed.

alarm, and no quick action is taken to
disarm it, the vehicle security alarm
will turn off the beeper after 29
seconds, and turn off all of the visual
signals after 31 more seconds; the

Remote Start System This system enables the key fob RKE
transmitter to start the engine
conveniently from outside the vehicle
while still maintaining security. The
system has a range of approximately
300 ft (91 m). Obstructions between
the vehicle and the key fob may
reduce this range.
NOTE:
Changes or modifications not
expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void
the user's authority to operate the
equipment.
If your RKE transmitter fails to operate
from a normal distance, check for
these conditions:
• A weak battery in the RKE
transmitter. The expected life of the
battery is a minimum of three years.
• Closeness to a radio transmitter such
as a radio station tower, airport
transmitter, and some mobile or CB
radio.
• Obstructions between the vehicle
and the Key Fob. How to use Remote Start All of the following conditions must

will determine whether the enhanced
accident response system will have to
perform the following functions:
• cut off fuel to the engine;
• turn hazard lights and interior lights
on as long as the battery has power
or until the ignition switch is turned

Air Bag Deployment Result
The advanced front air bags are
designed to deflate immediately after
deployment.
If you do have a collision which
deploys the air bags, any or all of the
following may occur:
• The nylon air bag material may
sometimes cause abrasions and/or
skin reddening to the driver and
front passenger as the air bags
deploy and unfold.
• As the air bags deflate, you may see
some smoke-like particles. The
particles are a normal by-product of
the process that generates the
non-toxic gas used for air bag
inflation. These airborne particles
may irritate the skin, eyes, nose, or
throat. If these particles settle on your clothing, follow the garment
manufacturer's instructions for
cleaning. Do not drive your vehicle
after the air bags have deployed. If
you are involved in another collision,
the air bags will not be in place to
protect you.
ENVIRONMENTAL!
Air bag inflation releases a small
amount of powder. This powder is not
harmful to the environment.
