Remember, the theft-deterrent system won’t activate if
you lock the doors with a key or manual door lock.
It only activates
if you use the power door lock switch or
remote keyless entry transmitter. You should also
remember that you can start your vehicle with the
correct ignition key
if the alarm has been set off. This
also shuts
off the alarm.
Here’s how to avoid setting
off the alarm by accident:
If you don’t want to activate the theft-deterrent
system, lock the door either using a key or the
manual door lock switch.
Always unlock a door with a key, or use the remote
keyless entry system. Unlocking a door any other
way will set
off the alarm.
if you set off the alarm by accident, unlock the driver’s
door with your key.
You can also turn
off the alarm by pressing the unlock
symbol on the remote keyless entry transmitter. The
alarm won’t stop
if you try to unlock a door any
other way.
Testing the Alarm
The alarm can be tested by following these steps:
1. From inside the vehicle, roll down the driver’s
window and open the driver’s door.
2. Activate the system by locking the doors with the
power door lock switch while the door is open, or
with the remote keyless entry transmitter.
3. Get out of the car, close the door and wait for the
SECURITY light to go out.
4. Then reach in through the window, unlock the door
with the manual door lock and open the door. This
should set
off the alarm.
If the alarm does not sound when it should, but the
vehicle’s lamps flash, check to see
if the horn works.
The horn fuse may be blown. See
Fuses and Circuit
Breakers
on page 5-92.
If the alarm does not sound, or the vehicle’s lamps do
not flash, the vehicle should be serviced by an
authorized service center.

Vehicle Personalization
Memory Seat and Mirrors
If your vehicle has this
feature, the controls are
located on the driver’s door
panel, and are used to
program and recall
memory settings for the
driver’s seating, outside
mirror positions and
climate controls. See
Automatic Climate Control
System
on page 3-23
for more information.
To save your seat and mirror positions into memory,
use the following procedure:
1. First identify the DRIVER # on the Driver information
Center (DIC) by pressing the MEMORY
button
(1 or 2) or by pressing the button with the
unlock symbol on the remote keyless entry
transmitter. See
Driver Information Center (DE) on
page
3-45.
2. Adjust the driver’s seat and lumbar position to a
safe and comfortable driving position. Adjust both
outside mirrors to suit you. See
Outside Power
Mirrors
on page 2-37.
3. Press and hold the MEMORY button (1 or 2)
corresponding with your DRIVER # displayed on the
DIC for longer than three seconds. You will hear
two beeps confirming that the seat and mirror
positions have been entered into memory.
To set the seat and mirror positions for a second driver,
follow the previous steps, but start by pressing the
button with the unlock symbol on the transmitter that
displays the other DRIVER
# on the DIC. Be sure to use
the MEMORY button
(1 or 2) which corresponds to
the DRIVER
# identified by the second transmitter.

4. Open the hood on the other vehicle and locate the
positive
(+) and the negative (-) terminal locations
on that vehicle.
Open the hood on your vehicle and find the remote
positive
(+) terminal located in the engine
compartment on the passenger side
of the vehicle.
5. To access the remote
positive
(+) terminal,
remove the cover. You will not see the battery
of your vehicle under
the hood. It is located under the rear passenger
seat. You will not need to access the battery
for jump starting. The remote positive
(+) terminal
is for that purpose.
An electric fan can start up even when the
engine
is not running and can injure you. Keep
hands, clothing and tools away from any
underhood electric fan.

10. Connect the other end
of the negative
(-)
cable at least 18 inches
(45 cm) away from
the dead battery, but
not near engine
parts that move.
The electrical connection is just as good there, and the
chance of sparks getting back to the battery is much less.
Use a remote negative
(-) terminal if the vehicle has
one. Your vehicle has a remote negative
(-) terminal
marked
“G N D .”
11. Now start the vehicle with the good battery and run
the engine for
a while.
12. Try to start the vehicle that had the dead battery. If
it won’t start after a few tries, it probably needs
service.
Notice: Damage to your vehicle may result from
electrical shorting
if jumper cables are removed
incorrectly.
To prevent electrical shorting, take care
that the cables don’t touch each other or any
other metal. The repairs wouldn’t be covered by
your warranty.
