Theft
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. However, there are ways you
can help.
Key in the Ignition
If you leave your vehicle with the keys inside, it's an
easy target for joy riders or professional thieves
-- so
don't do it.
When you park your vehicle and open the driver's door,
you'll hear a chime reminding you to remove your key
from the ignition and take it with you. Always do this.
Your steering wheel will be locked, and so will your
ignition and transaxle. And remember to lock the doors.
Parking at Night
Park in a lighted spot, close all windows and lock your
vehicle. Remember to keep your valuables out of sight.
Put them in a storage area, or take them with you.
Parking Lots
Even if you park in a lot where someone will be
watching your vehicle, it's still best to lock it up and
take your keys. But what if you have to leave your key?

If possible, park in a busy, well
-lit area.

Put your valuables in a storage area, like your trunk
or glove box.

Be sure to close and lock the storage area.

Close all windows.

Lock the glove box.

Lock all the doors except the driver's.

If your vehicle has a remote keyless entry system,
take the transmitter with you.

2-28
Content Theft-Deterrent
(If Equipped)
The vehicle may have a theft-deterrent alarm system.
A red light located on top of the instrument panel
(toward the center of the vehicle, near the windshield)
will flash slowly when the system is armed.While armed, the doors will not unlock with the power
door lock switch. The alarm will sound if someone
tampers with the trunk lock, enters the vehicle (without
using the remote keyless entry transmitter or key to
unlock the doors), or turns the ignition on. The horn will
sound and the headlamps will flash for up to two
minutes. The system will also cut off the fuel supply,
preventing the vehicle from being driven.
Arming with the Power Lock Switch
Your alarm system can be programmed to arm when you
use either power lock switch to lock the doors while any
door is open and the key is removed from the ignition.
If you would like to arm the system with the power lock
switch see ªMultifunction Alarm Locks and Lighting
Choicesº in the Index. When programmed, the red light
will flash quickly to let you know that the system is
ready to arm with the power lock switches. When you
press the rear of a power door lock switch, the red light
will stop flashing and stay on to let you know that the
system is arming. After all the doors are closed and
locked, the red light will begin flashing at a very slow
rate to let you know the system is armed.

2-29 Arming with the Remote Keyless
Entry Transmitter
The alarm system will arm when you use the remote
keyless entry transmitter to lock the doors after the key
is removed from the ignition. The red light will turn on
to let you know the system is arming. After all doors are
closed and locked, the red light will begin flashing at a
very slow rate to let you know the system is armed.
Arming Confirmation
If the remote unlock confirmation is on, (see ªLocks
and Lighting Choicesº in the Index), the headlamps
will flash briefly to let you know when the alarm system
has armed.
Disarming with the Remote Keyless
Entry Transmitter
The alarm system will disarm when you use your remote
keyless entry transmitter to unlock the doors. The red
light will go off to let you know the system is disarmed.
Disarming with the Key
The alarm system will disarm when you use the key to
unlock the doors. The red light will stop flashing when
the system is disarmed. If you would like the key to
disarm the alarm system, see ªLocks and Lighting
Choicesº in the Index.

PASS-Key
III
Your vehicle is equipped
with the PASS
-Key III
(Personalized Automotive
Security System)
theft
-deterrent system.
PASS
-Key III is a passive
theft
-deterrent system. This
means you don't have to do
anything different to arm or
disarm the system. It works
when you insert or remove
the key from the ignition.
Your PASS
-Key III system operates on a radio
frequency subject to Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) Rules and with Industry Canada.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) this device may not cause harmful interference,
and (2) this device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may cause
undesired operation.This device complies with RSS
-210 of Industry Canada.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this
device must accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired operation of
the device.
Changes or modifications to this system by other than an
authorized service facility could void authorization to
use this equipment.
PASS
-Key III uses a radio frequency transponder in the
key that matches a decoder in your vehicle.
When the PASS
-Key III system senses that someone is
using the wrong key, it shuts down the vehicle's starter
and fuel systems. The starter will not work and fuel will
stop being delivered to the engine. Anyone using a
trial
-and-error method to start the vehicle will be
discouraged because of the high number of electrical
key codes.
When trying to start the vehicle if the engine does not
start and the SECURITY light comes on, the key may
have a damaged transponder. Turn the ignition off and
try again.
