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. However, there are ways you
can help.
Content Theft-Deterrent
If your vehicle has this feature, the theft-deterrent
system is designed to activate an alarm if any of the
side doors or the liftgate is forcibly unlocked or if
the battery terminal is disconnected and then
reconnected while the system is set.
The alarm will sound the horn intermittently and ¯ash
the headlamps, turn signal lamps and interior lights.
If the driver's or front passenger's side doors are
unlocked forcibly, the other side doors and the liftgate
will be locked automatically.

Arming the System
To arm the system, do the following:
1. Turn the ignition key to the LOCK position and
remove it.
2. Have all passengers get out of the vehicle.
3. Close and lock all the side doors and liftgate with
the key or remote keyless entry transmitter.
The indicator light located
on the instrument panel to
the left of the steering
wheel will come on when
all the side doors and
liftgate are closed
and locked.
The system will be automatically set after 30 seconds.
When the system is set, the indicator light will start
¯ashing.4. After the indicator light starts ¯ashing, you may
leave the vehicle.
Do not leave anyone in the vehicle when you set
the system, because unlocking the vehicle from the
inside will activate the system.
Testing the Alarm
To test the alarm, do the following:
1. Open all the windows.
2. Set the system as described in the previous
procedure. The side doors and liftgate should
be locked with the key or remote keyless entry
transmitter. Be sure to wait until the indicator light
starts ¯ashing.
3. Unlock the driver's door from the inside. The
system should activate the alarm.
4. Stop the alarm as described in the disarming
procedure.
5. Repeat this operation for the other doors. Also
check that the system is activated when the
battery terminal is disconnected and then
reconnected.
If the system does not work properly, have it
checked by your dealer.
2-14

How the System Alarm is Activated
The system will activate the alarm under the following
conditions:
·If the driver's or front passenger's door is unlocked
or if any of the other side doors or the liftgate is
forcibly opened without the key or remote keyless
entry transmitter.
·If the battery terminal is disconnected and then
reconnected.
·If the ignition is hot-wired.
·If the side window glass is broken or damaged.
The indicator light will come on when the system
is activated.

unlocked without using the key or remote keyless entry
transmitter, the other side doors and the liftgate will
be automatically locked again.
After one minute the alarm will automatically stop and
the indicator light will start ¯ashing again.

alarm after the alarm stops. The alarm will activate again
under the same conditions as described earlier.

remove the key. This locks your steering wheel,
ignition and automatic transaxle. Push in the ignition
switch as you turn the key toward you.
If you have an automatic transaxle, the ignition switch
can't be turned to LOCK unless the shift lever is in
PARK (P).
{CAUTION:
On manual transaxle vehicles, turning the key
to LOCK and removing it will lock the steering
column and result in a loss of ability to steer
the vehicle. This could cause a collision. If you
need to turn the engine off while the vehicle is
moving, turn the key only to ACC. Don't push
the key in while the vehicle is moving.
(B) ACC (ACCESSORY):This position operates some
of your electrical accessories (such as the radio, but
not the ventilation fan). It unlocks the steering wheel and
ignition. To move the key from ACC to LOCK, push in
the key and then turn it to LOCK.(C) ON:This is the position the switch returns to after
you start your engine and release the switch. The switch
stays in the ON position when the engine is running.
But even when the ignition is not running, you can use
ON to operate your electrical accessories (including
the ventilation fan and 115 volt power outlet) and
to display some warning and indicator lights.
(D) START:This position starts the engine. When the
engine starts, release the key. The ignition switch
will return to ON for normal driving.
When the engine is not running, ACC and ON allow you
to operate some of your electrical accessories.
A warning tone will sound if you open the driver's door
when the ignition is still in ACC or LOCK and the
key is in the ignition.

Automatic Headlamp System
Your vehicle is equipped with an automatic light sensor
on the top left corner of the instrument panel, so be
sure it is not covered or the headlamps will be on
continuously.
When it is dark enough outside, your automatic
headlamp system will turn on your low-beam headlamps
at the normal brightness along with other lamps such
as the taillamps, sidemarker, parking lamps and
instrument panel lights. The parking brake must be
released for the automatic headlamp system to work.
This is indicated by the headlamp symbol on your
instrument panel cluster.
If you are driving through a parking garage, overcast
weather, or a tunnel, the automatic headlamp system
may turn on your low-beam headlamps at a normal
brightness along with the taillamps, sidemarker, parking
lamps and the instrument panel lights. The radio lights
will be dimmer, and the instrument panel cluster lights
may dim. There will be a delay of several seconds before
the lights will turn on when starting the car at night.
Headlamps On Reminder
If you turn the ignition to LOCK or ACC and leave
the lamps on, you'll hear a tone when you open the
driver's door.
Daytime Running Lamps
Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) can make it easier for
others to see the front of your vehicle during the
day. DRL can be helpful in many different driving
conditions, but they can be especially helpful in the short
periods after dawn and before sunset. Fully functional
daytime running lamps are required on all vehicles
®rst sold in Canada.
The DRL system will make your headlamps come on at
a reduced brightness when the following conditions
are met:
·The ignition is on with the engine running,
·the exterior lamps switch is off and
·the parking brake is released.
When the DRL are on, only your headlamps will be on
at a reduced brightness. The taillamps, sidemarker
and other lamps won't be on. Your instrument panel
won't be lit up either.
When you turn the exterior lamp switch to the headlamp
position, your DRL will go off and your headlamps will
come on. The other lamps that come on with your
headlamps will also come on.
3-13

The brightness of the instrument panel lights will
decrease when the headlamps are on. It is recommended
that the brightness level is kept at the maximum setting
for all daytime driving to insure proper visibility.
The interior light has the following positions:
OFF:This position turns the light off.
ON:This position keeps the light on all the time.
6(Door):This position turns the light on when any
of the side doors, the liftgate or the liftglass is opened.
The light goes off when all the side doors, the liftgate
and the liftglass are closed.
Entry Lighting
While the instrument panel brightness control is in the
door position, the light will come on when any side door,
the liftgate or the liftglass is opened. After all the side
doors, liftgate and liftglass are closed, and the key is out
of the ignition, in LOCK or ACC, the light will remain
on for about 15 seconds and then go out except under
the following conditions:
·The ignition is turned to ACC or ON after all the side
doors, the liftgate and the liftglass are closed.
·All the side doors and liftgate are locked when the
liftglass is closed and the light is still on.
When any side door is unlocked with the key or remote
keyless entry system transmitter, the light comes on
for 15 seconds, even if the door is not opened.
To prevent the battery from draining, the lamps
will automatically turn off when the key is in the
ACC or LOCK positions or if the key is removed
for 20 minutes or more.
3-15

Reading Lamp
If you have a sunroof, you will have a reading lamp
near the sunroof switch. Press the button to turn
the lamp on and press it again to turn it off.If you do not have a sunroof, your vehicle's inside
rearview mirror may be equipped with reading lamps.
If your vehicle is equipped with reading lamps, there are
two buttons located on the bottom of the mirror. Press
the buttons to turn the lamps on and press them again to
turn the lamps off.
To prevent the battery from draining, the lamps will
automatically turn off when the key is in the ACC
or LOCK positions or if the key is removed for 20
minutes or more. The lights will come on when any of
the doors are opened or if the key is turned to the
ON position.
