3.4 INSTRUMENT CLUSTER
The Instrument Cluster has easy-to-read instru-
ments, is capable of CAN bus communication and
provides a diagnostic function. The Instrument
Cluster with analog speedometer, tachometer, fuel
and coolant temperature gauges comes in two ver-
sions.
²Speedometer with outer miles-per-hour (mph)
scale and inner kilometers-per-hour (km/h) scale.
Coolant temperature is indicated in Fahrenheit
(for US).
²Speedometer with outer kilometers-per-hour
(km/h) scale and inner miles-per-hours (mph)
scale. Coolant temperature is indicated in de-
grees Celsius (for Canada).
Below the speedometer, there is a LCD multi-
function indicator in clear view of the driver. Warn-
ing and indicator lights (based on colored light
emitting diodes) are located in the bottom of the
instrument cluster with the exception of the turn
signal indicator lights, ASR warning light and re-
serve fuel warning light. The warning lights for the
seat belt usage and parking brake/brake fluid level
are located in the line above the bottom line. The
indicator that illuminates up when the parking
brake is applied or the brake fluid level is low is
different for U.S. and Canada.
When the key is turned to the 2nd position in the
ignition, the function of the following indicator
lights is checked automatically: High Beam ON,
Preheating, airbag malfunction. In case of a broken
LED of the airbag malfunction light, the seat belt
usage warning light will flash for 6 seconds after
the function check is finished. The Instrument
Cluster is operated with the help of 4 buttons
located below the multifunction indicator. The back-
lighting for the instrument cluster uses yellow
LED's and can be adjusted electronically to daylight
and darkness.The instrument cluster includes a warning
buzzer, which sounds (in addition to a warning light
in some cases) when:
²The headlights are on with the ignition off and
the door opened.
²The driver 's seat belt is not fastened with the
ignition on.
²The key is in the ignition and the door is open.
²Critical ASSYST information is displayed in the
multifunction indicator.
3.5 POWER DOOR LOCKS/RKE
3.5.1 CENTRAL LOCKING
The Central Locking System locks all vehicle
doors if any door is locked from the inside or
mechanically locked with the key from the outside.
However, unlocking any door, in that manner, will
only unlock that particular door. The Master Door
Lock Switch on the dash enables the operator to
lock/unlock all doors. By pressing the top of the
rocker type switch once, all doors will lock. Pressing
the switch again will unlock all doors. Pressing the
lower part of the switch once will lock all doors
except the driver door. Pressing the lower part
again will unlock all doors except the driver door. If
the Central Locking System automatically unlocks
after the vehicle was attempted to be locked, at
least one door is not properly closed.
There are two LED indicators in the Master Door
Lock Switch. The left indicator is for the driver door
and the right indicator is for all passenger/cargo
doors. These will indicate if a door is ajar or if the
doors are locked. The door ajar switches are part of
the door lock motor and are mounted in the door
latch assembly.
Inside each door lock motor there is a command
switch. The command switch is operated by the
plunger and signals any change in the lock status,
locked or unlocked. Each command switch is wired
to the Central Timer Module (CTM) sometimes
referred to as the Central Locking Module. If all
doors are closed and are unlocked, and any door is
locked by the key or the interior handle, thereby
changing the command switch, all doors will be
locked. If one of the door lock motors does not reach
the end position after a locking command, it will be
detected by the CTM (command switch not in
9Locked9position) and the vehicle will be unlocked.
3.5.2 REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY (RKE)
The SKREEM is a combination of the Remote
Keyless Entry Module and the SKIM (Sentry Key
Immobilizer Module). It is located behind the In-
strument Cluster and has an antenna that goes up

the lifted end of the vehicle and lower the vehicle
closer to the ground, to increase the ground clearance
at the opposite end of the vehicle. Install lug nuts on
wheel attaching studs to retain brake drums.
RAMP ANGLE
If a vehicle with flat-bed towing equipment is used,
the approach ramp angle should not exceed 15
degrees.
TOWING WHEN KEYS ARE NOT AVAILABLE
When the vehicle is locked and keys are not avail-
able, use a flat bed hauler. A Wheel-lift or Sling-type
device can be used provided all the wheels are lifted
off the ground using tow dollies.

VEHICLE THEFT SECURITY
DESCRIPTION
A vehicle theft alarm with a battery powered siren
is available as an option and includes interior moni-
toring, anti-tow away protection and rear window
monitoring based on the heater wires. The alarm is
automatically activated when the central locking sys-
tem is operated.
The alarm will sound when any of the following
occur:
²A door is opened
²A door is unlocked from inside the vehicle
²The hood is opened
²The vehicle is raised at the front or rear
²The trailer wire harness is disconnected
²Movements inside the vehicle
²The central locking is unlocked by a key at any
other door than the driver's door
The alarm is functional about 30 seconds after the
vehicle is locked using the RKE transmitter or the
key in the driver's door. Activation is indicated by the
indicator lights flashing three times and the warning
lamp flashing in the switch. If persons or animals
remain in the locked vehicle, the operator should
switch off the interior monitor to avoid a false alarm.
OPERATION
The anti-theft alarm is activated/deactivated by
locking/unlocking the vehicle with the remote trans-
mitter or with the key at the driver's door. The key
must be held in the locking position for more than
two seconds. Activation is indicated by the turn sig-
nal lights flashing once. Unlocking the vehicle at one
of the other doors will trigger an alarm.
The interior monitoring system included in the
anti-theft alarm is based on ultrasonics and triggersan alarm if an object intrudes the interior of the
vehicle or if any movement is detected inside the
vehicle. For proper and effective protection, all win-
dows and the sunroof must be closed.
To switch off the interior monitoring system and /
or the anti-tow away protection, a switch with LED
indicator light is provided in the switch panel. An
alarm button enables the operator to trigger an
alarm manually and to lock all doors if they are
closed. Triggering an alarm makes the horn sound
and the turn signals flash until the alarm is switched
off.
The anti-theft alarm control unit includes a gradi-
ent indicator as anti-tow away protection. The gradi-
ent indicator triggers an audible and visual alarm if
the vehicle is lifted (to tow away or to remove the
wheels). The alarm remains effective even if the bat-
tery is disconnected as the horn is powered by its
own battery. The interior monitoring system should
be switched off if people and/or animals are left in
the vehicle.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - VEHICLE THEFT

aligned and sealed. If component alignment or seal-
ing is necessary, refer to the appropriate section of
this group for proper procedures.
WATER LEAK TESTS
WARNING: DO NOT USE ELECTRIC SHOP LIGHTS
OR TOOLS IN WATER TEST AREA. PERSONAL
INJURY CAN RESULT.
When the conditions causing a water leak have
been determined, simulate the conditions as closely
as possible.
²If a leak occurs with the vehicle parked in a
steady light rain, flood the leak area with an open-
ended garden hose.
²If a leak occurs while driving at highway speeds
in a steady rain, test the leak area with a reasonable
velocity stream or fan spray of water. Direct the
spray in a direction comparable to actual conditions.
²If a leak occurs when the vehicle is parked on an
incline, hoist the end or side of the vehicle to simu-
late this condition. This method can be used when
the leak occurs when the vehicle accelerates, stops or
turns. If the leak occurs on acceleration, hoist the
front of the vehicle. If the leak occurs when braking,
hoist the back of the vehicle. If the leak occurs on left
turns, hoist the left side of the vehicle. If the leak
occurs on right turns, hoist the right side of the vehi-
cle. For hoisting recommendations (Refer to LUBRI-
CATION & MAINTENANCE/HOISTING -
STANDARD PROCEDURE).
WATER LEAK DETECTION
To detect a water leak point-of-entry, do a water
test and watch for water tracks or droplets forming
on the inside of the vehicle. If necessary, remove inte-
rior trim covers or panels to gain visual access to the
leak area. If the hose cannot be positioned without
being held, have someone help do the water test.
Some water leaks must be tested for a considerable
length of time to become apparent. When a leak
appears, find the highest point of the water track or
drop. The highest point usually will show the point of
entry. After leak point has been found, repair the
leak and water test to verify that the leak has
stopped.
Locating the entry point of water that is leaking
into a cavity between panels can be difficult. The
trapped water may splash or run from the cavity,
often at a distance from the entry point. Most water
leaks of this type become apparent after accelerating,
stopping, turning, or when on an incline.
MIRROR INSPECTION METHOD
When a leak point area is visually obstructed, use
a suitable mirror to gain visual access. A mirror canalso be used to deflect light to a limited-access area
to assist in locating a leak point.
BRIGHT LIGHT LEAK TEST METHOD
Some water leaks in the luggage compartment can
be detected without water testing. Position the vehi-
cle in a brightly lit area. From inside the darkened
luggage compartment inspect around seals and body
seams. If necessary, have a helper direct a drop light
over the suspected leak areas around the luggage
compartment. If light is visible through a normally
sealed location, water could enter through the open-
ing.
PRESSURIZED LEAK TEST METHOD
When a water leak into the passenger compart-
ment cannot be detected by water testing, pressurize
the passenger compartment and soap test exterior of
the vehicle. To pressurize the passenger compart-
ment, close all doors and windows, start engine, and
set heater control to high blower in HEAT position. If
engine can not be started, connect a charger to the
battery to ensure adequate voltage to the blower.
With interior pressurized, apply dish detergent solu-
tion to suspected leak area on the exterior of the
vehicle. Apply detergent solution with spray device or
soft bristle brush. If soap bubbles occur at a body
seam, joint, seal or gasket, the leak entry point could
be at that location.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - WIND NOISE
Wind noise is the result of most air leaks. Air leaks
can be caused by poor sealing, improper body compo-
nent alignment, body seam porosity, or missing plugs
in the engine compartment or door hinge pillar areas.
All body sealing points should be airtight in normal
driving conditions. Moving sealing surfaces will not
always seal airtight under all conditions. At times,
side glass or door seals will allow wind noise to be
noticed in the passenger compartment during high
cross winds. Over compensating on door or glass
adjustments to stop wind noise that occurs under
severe conditions can cause premature seal wear and
excessive closing or latching effort. After a repair pro-
cedure has been performed, test vehicle to verify
noise has stopped before returning vehicle to use.
VISUAL INSPECTION BEFORE TESTS
Verify that floor and body plugs are in place and
body components are aligned and sealed. If compo-
nent alignment or sealing is necessary, refer to the
appropriate section of this group for proper proce-
dures.
ROAD TESTING WIND NOISE
(1) Drive the vehicle to verify the general location
of the wind noise.
