PASS-Key®III Operation
The vehicle is
equipped with
PASS-Key
®III
(Personalized
Automotive Security
System) theft-deterrent
system. PASS-Key
®III
is a passive
theft-deterrent
system.
This means nothing special needs to be done to
arm or disarm the system. It works when the key is
inserted or removed from the ignition.
PASS-Key
®III uses a transponder in the ignition
key that matches a decoder in the vehicle.
When the PASS-Key
®III system senses that the
wrong key has been inserted into the ignition, it
shuts down the vehicle’s starter and fuel systems.The starter will not work and fuel will stop owing to
the engine. If someone tries to start the vehicle
again with the wrong key, the vehicle will not start.
Anyone using a trial-and-error method to start the
vehicle will be discouraged to do so because of the
high number of electrical key codes.
When trying to start the vehicle, if the engine does
not start and the STARTING DISABLED DUE TO
THEFT SYSTEM warning message on the Driver
Information Center (DIC) comes on, the key may
have a damaged transponder. Turn the ignition off
and try again.
If the engine still does not start, and the key
appears to be undamaged, try another ignition key.
At this time, you may also want to check the fuse.
SeeFuses and Circuit Breakers on page 460.Ifthe
engine still does not start with the other key, the
vehicle needs service. If the vehicle does start, the
rst key may be faulty. See your dealer who can
service the PASS-Key
®III to have a new key made.
In an emergency, contact Roadside Assistance.
SeeRoadside Assistance Program on page 498for
more information.

Turn and Lane-Change Signals
To signal a turn, move the turn signal lever located
on the left side of the steering column all the
way up or down. The lever returns automatically
when the turn is complete.
An arrow on the
instrument panel cluster
will ash in the
direction of the turn or
lane change.
If the vehicle is equipped with the Head-Up-Display
(HUD), a right or left turn signal will appear in
the HUD area when making turns or lane changes.
SeeHead-Up Display (HUD) on page 151for
more information.Raise or lower the lever until the arrow starts to
ash to signal a lane change. Hold it there until the
lane change is complete. The lever returns to its
original position when it is released.
Arrows that ash rapidly when signaling for a turn
or lane change may be caused by a burned-out
signal bulb. Other drivers will not see the signal.
Replace burned-out bulbs to help avoid possible
accidents. SeeReplacement Bulbs on page 398,
Front Turn Signal, Parking and Fog Lamps on
page 394, andTaillamps, Turn Signal, and
Stoplamps on page 395. Also, check the fuse for
burned-out bulbs if a turn signal arrow fails to
work when signaling a turn. SeeFuses and Circuit
Breakers on page 460for location information.
Turn Signal On Chime
If the turn signal is left on for more than
0.75 of a mile (1.21 km), a warning chime will
sound and the TURN SIGNAL ON warning
message will appear on the Driver Information
Center (DIC) display. See “Turn Signal On” under
DIC Warnings and Messages on page 200.

console. The other is located inside the console.
Remove the tethered cap to use the outlet.
When not using the outlet, be sure to cover it with
the protective cap.
Notice:Leaving electrical equipment plugged
in for an extended period of time while the
vehicle is off will drain the battery. Power is
always supplied to the outlets. Always unplug
electrical equipment when not in use and
do not plug in equipment that exceeds
the maximum 20 ampere rating.Certain electrical accessories may not be
compatible with the accessory power outlet and
could result in blown vehicle or adapter fuses. See
your dealer for additional information on

Oil Pressure Light
If there is a problem
with the vehicle’s oil
pressure, this light may
stay on when the
engine is started.
It may also come on while the vehicle is being
driven. This indicates that the engine could be low
on oil or could have some other oil problem.
Have it xed right away.
The oil light could also come on in two other
situations:
When the ignition is on but the engine is not
running, the light will come on as a test to
indicate it is working. The light will go out when
the ignition is turned to RUN. If it does not come
on while the ignition is in the on position, there
may be a problem with the fuse or bulb. See
Fuses and Circuit Breakers on page 460.
If the brakes are applied quickly and the vehicle
makes a hard stop, the light may come on for a
moment. This is normal.
{CAUTION:
Do not keep driving if the oil pressure is
low. If you do, your engine can become so
hot that it catches re. You or others
could be burned. Check your oil as soon
as possible and have your vehicle
serviced.
Notice:Lack of proper engine oil maintenance
may damage the engine. The repairs would
not be covered by your warranty. Always follow
the maintenance schedule in this manual for
