TheService Engine Soonindicator light illuminates when the ignition is
first turned to the ON position to check the bulb. If it comes on after the
engine is started, one of the engine's emission control systems may be
malfunctioning. The light may illuminate without a driveability concern
being noted. The vehicle will usually be drivable and will not require
towing.
What you should do if the Service Engine Soon light illuminates
Light turns on solid:
This means that the OBD II system has detected a malfunction.
Temporary malfunctions may cause yourService Engine Soonlight to
illuminate. Examples are:
1. The vehicle has run out of fuel. (The engine may misfire or run
poorly.)
2. Poor fuel quality or water in the fuel.
3. The fuel cap may not have been properly installed and securely
tightened.
These temporary malfunctions can be corrected by filling the fuel tank
with high quality fuel of the recommended octane and/or properly
installing and securely tightening the gas cap. After three driving cycles
without these or any other temporary malfunctions present, theService
Engine Soonlight should turn off. (A driving cycle consists of a cold
engine startup followed by mixed city/highway driving.) No additional
vehicle service is required.
If theService Engine Soonlight remains on, have your vehicle serviced
at the first available opportunity.
Light is blinking:
Engine misfire is occurring which could damage your catalytic converter.
You should drive in a moderate fashion (avoid heavy acceleration and
deceleration) and have your vehicle serviced at the first available
opportunity.
Under engine misfire conditions, excessive exhaust temperatures
could damage the catalytic converter, the fuel system, interior
floor coverings or other vehicle components, possibly causing a fire.

you wish to tilt the mirror.
3. Return to the center position to lock mirrors in place.
Heated outside mirrors (if equipped)
Both mirrors are heated
automatically to remove ice, mist
and fog when the rear window
defrost is activated.

with a scraper or attempt to readjust
the mirror glass if it is frozen in
place. These actions could cause

HOMELINKTUNIVERSAL TRANSCEIVER (IF EQUIPPED)
The HomeLinktUniversal Transceiver, located on the driver's visor,
provides a convenient way to replace up to three hand-held transmitters
with a single built-in device. This feature will learn the radio frequency
codes of most current transmitters to operate garage doors, entry gates,
security systems, entry door locks, and home or office lighting.
When programming your HomeLinktUniversal Transceiver, to a
garage door or gate be sure that people and objects are out of
the way to prevent potential harm or damage.
Do not use the HomeLinktUniversal Transceiver with any garage door
opener that lacks safety stop and reverse features as required by U.S.
federal safety standards (this includes any garage door opener model
manufactured before April 1, 1982). A garage door which cannot detect
an object, signaling the door to stop and reverse, does not meet current
U.S. federal safety standards. For more information on this matter, call
toll-free: 1±800±355±3515 or on the Internet atHomeLink.jci.com.

ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM
When armed, the anti-theft system will help prevent your vehicle from
unauthorized entry.
If there is any potential perimeter anti-theft problem with your vehicle,
ensureALL key fobs(remote entry transmitters) are brought to the
dealership, to aid in troubleshooting.
Arming the system
When unauthorized entry occurs, the system will flash headlamp lamps,
tail lamps and the security indicator lamp, chirp the horn and disable the
starting system.
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 (if all
doors are closed) to confirm that
the control was pressed. The
horn chirp feature can be turned
on/off by holding the LOCK and
UNLOCK controls on the
transmitter simultaneously for
two seconds. The hazard lights
will flash three times each time
the system is toggled between active and non-active modes.
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. Once all the doors are
closed, the security indicator lamp

illuminate continuously when the
system is prearmed.
Once the doors are closed, the
system will arm in 30 seconds and
the security indicator lamp will
begin to flash.
Disarming the anti-theft system
Disarming an untriggered anti-theft system
You can disarm the system by any of the following actions:
²Unlock the doors by using your
remote entry transmitter.
²Unlock the doors with a key. Turn
the key full travel (toward the

the alarm disarms.
²Turn ignition to ACC or ON.
Triggering the anti-theft system
The armed system will be triggered if:
²Any door or liftgate is opened without using the door key or the
remote entry transmitter. (if the vehicle is armed while in side the
vehicle, inserting the key into the ignition will also trigger system.)
²The hood is forced opened.
