can help prevent theft. You can have a lot of
trouble getting into your vehicle
if you ever lock
your keys inside. You may even have to damage
your vehicle to get in.
So be sure you have
spare keys.

Theft-Deterrent Systems
Vehicle theft is big business, especially in some cities.
Although your vehicle has a number of theft-deterrent
features, we know that nothing we put on it can make it
impossible
to steal.
Universal Theft-Deterrent

this system,
if your ignition is off, the SECURITY
light
will flash as you open the door.

system. To activate it do the following:
1.

3.
Open the door.
Lock the door with the power door lock switch or
remote keyless entry system. The SECURITY light
should come on and stay on.
Close all doors. The SECURITY light should go
off
after about 30 seconds. The security system is not
armed until the SECURITY light is
off. If the
SECURITY light stays on or flashes when the
ignition is turned on, there is a problem with the
system and the vehicle should be serviced.
If the SECURITY light comes on for one minute and
then shuts
off while the ignition is on, the security
system has detected a problem. See your dealer for
service.
If a door or the trunk is opened without the key or
remote keyless entry transmitter, the alarm will go
off.
Your vehicle’s lamps will flash and the horn will

Floor Mats
Your vehicle is equipped with floor mats. The driver’s
side floor mat is held in place by a locator hook.
To remove the driver’s side floor mat, slide the floor mat
towards the driver’s seat to unhook it. Then pick up
the floor mat to remove it.
To reinstall the floor mat, line up the opening in the floor
mat over the locator hook and push it down into
place.
Rear Storage Area
Your vehicle may have a rear storage armrest with
cupholders and a pass-through feature.
Lift the front of the cover on the armrest to reveal the
storage space.
Pull down the interior door to access the trunk.
Convenience Net
Your vehicle may have a convenience net. You’ll see it
just inside the back wall of the trunk.
Put small loads, like grocery bags, behind the net.
It can
help keep them from falling over during sharp turns or
quick starts and stops.
The net isn’t for larger, heavier loads. Store them in the
trunk as far forward as you can.
You can unhook the net
so that it will lie flat when
you’re not using it.
