VEHICLE SECURITY ALARM SYSTEM — IF
EQUIPPED
The Vehicle Security Alarm monitors the doors and
decklid for unauthorized entry and the ignition for
unauthorized operation. If something triggers the alarm,
the Vehicle Security Alarm will prevent the vehicle from
starting. It will also emit an acoustic signal and flash the
park lights, and taillights.
Operation
The alarm activates in the following cases:
1. Wrongful opening of one of the doors or the decklid
(perimeter protection);2. Wrongful operation of the ignition switch (key turned
to MAR-ON);
3. Cutting of the battery leads;
4. Movement inside the passenger compartment (volu-
metric protection);
5. Anomalous lifting/tilting of the car.
Operation of the alarm is indicated by an acoustic and
visual signal (flashing of the direction indicators for
several seconds). The alarm activation modes may vary
according to the market. There is a maximum number of
acoustic/visual cycles. When this is reached the system
returns to normal operation.

If a perimeter violation triggers the security system, the
siren will sound for 30 seconds and the exterior lights
will flash followed by approximately five seconds of no
activity. This will continue for eight cycles if no action is
taken to disarm the system.
The alarm takes approximately 20 seconds to arm once
the doors are locked with the key fob and once armed,
the LED indicator on the dash will blink whenever the
system is armed. If motion is detected during the arming
period, the motion detection system is disabled.
To ensure the correct operation of the protection, com-
pletely close the side windows. If a perimeter violation
triggers the security system, the siren will sound and the
exterior lights will flash.
To disable the volumetric protection, turn the ignition
key from STOP to MAR-ON twice in a row, then activate
the alarm within 15 seconds, pushing the lock button onthe remote control. When the function is deactivated, this
is indicated by the vehicle security light in the instrument
panel flashing for several seconds.
To disable the anti-lift protection, the ignition key must
be turned from STOP to MAR-ON three times in a row,
followed by activating the alarm within 15 seconds,
pushing the lock button on the remote control.
When the function is deactivated, this is indicated by the
vehicle security light in the instrument panel flashing for
several seconds.
Any disabling of the volumetric/anti-lift protection must
be repeated each time the instrument panel is switched
off.

Knee Impact Bolsters
The Knee Impact Bolsters help protect the knees of the
driver and front passenger, and position the front occu-
pants for improved interaction with the Advanced Front
Air Bags.
WARNING!
•Do not drill, cut, or tamper with the knee impact
bolsters in any way.
•Do not mount any accessories to the knee impact
bolsters such as alarm lights, stereos, citizen band
radios, etc.
If A Deployment Occurs
The Advanced Front Air Bags are designed to deflate
immediately after deployment.NOTE:Front and/or side air bags will not deploy in all
collisions. This does not mean something is wrong with
the air bag system.
If you do have a collision, which deploys the air bags, any
or all of the following may occur:
•The air bag material may sometimes cause abrasions
and/or skin reddening to the occupants as the air bags
deploy and unfold. The abrasions are similar to fric-
tion rope burns or those you might get sliding along a
carpet or gymnasium floor. They are not caused by
contact with chemicals. They are not permanent and
normally heal quickly. However, if you haven’t healed
significantly within a few days, or if you have any
blistering, see your doctor immediately.
•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
2

skin, eyes, nose, or throat. If you have skin or eye
irritation, rinse the area with cool water. For nose or
throat irritation, move to fresh air. If the irritation
continues, see your doctor. If these particles settle on
your clothing, follow the garment manufacturer ’s in-
structions for cleaning.
Do not drive your vehicle after the air bags have de-
ployed. If you are involved in another collision, the air
bags will not be in place to protect you.
WARNING!
Deployed air bags and seat belt pretensioners cannot
protect you in another collision. Have the air bags,
seat belt pretensioners, and the seat belt retractor
assemblies replaced by an authorized dealer imme-
diately. Also, have the Occupant Restraint Controller
System serviced as well.NOTE:
•Air bag covers may not be obvious in the interior trim,
but they will open during air bag deployment.
•After any collision, the vehicle should be taken to an
authorized dealer immediately.
Enhanced Accident Response System
In the event of an impact, if the communication network
remains intact, and the power remains intact, depending
on the nature of the event the ORC will determine
whether to have the Enhanced Accident Response Sys-
tem perform the following functions:
•Cut off fuel to the engine.
•Flash hazard lights as long as the battery has power or
until the ignition is cycled to OFF.
52 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE

•Turn on the interior lights, which remain on as long as
the battery has power or until the ignition is cycled to
OFF.
•Unlock the doors automatically.
System Reset Procedure
Depending on the nature of the event the left and right
turn signal lights, located in the instrument panel, may
both be blinking and will continue to blink until the
ignition switch is turned to the OFF position. In order to
move your vehicle to the side of the road, you must
follow the system reset procedure.Customer Action Customer Will See

The air bags must be ready to inflate for your protection
in a collision. The Air Bag Warning Light
monitors the internal circuits and interconnect-
ing wiring associated with air bag system elec-
trical components.
The ORC monitors the readiness of the electronic parts of
the air bag system whenever the ignition switch is in the
START or ON/RUN position. If the ignition switch is in
the OFF position the air bag system is not on and the air
bags will not inflate.
The ORC contains a backup power supply system that
may deploy the air bags even if the battery loses power or
it becomes disconnected prior to deployment.
Also, the ORC turns on the Air Bag Warning Light in the
instrument panel for approximately four to eight seconds
for a self-check when the ignition is first turned to the

Floor Mat Safety Information
Always use floor mats designed to fit the foot well of
your vehicle. Use only floor mats that leave the pedal
area unobstructed and that are firmly secured so that
they cannot slip out of position and interfere with the
pedals or impair safe operation of your vehicle in other
ways.
Periodic Safety Checks You Should Make Outside
The Vehicle
Tires
Examine tires for excessive tread wear and uneven wear
patterns. Check for stones, nails, glass, or other objects
lodged in the tread. Inspect the tread and sidewall for
cuts and cracks. Check the wheel nuts for tightness.
Check the tires for proper pressure.
Lights
Have someone observe the operation of brake lights and
exterior lights while you work the controls. Check turn
signal and high beam indicator lights on the instrument
panel.
Door Latches
Check for positive closing, latching, and locking.
Fluid Leaks
Check area under vehicle after overnight parking for fuel,
engine coolant, oil, or other fluid leaks. Also, if gasoline
fumes are detected or if fuel, power steering fluid (if
equipped), or brake fluid leaks are suspected, the cause
should be located and corrected immediately.
