The vehicle alarm system will not arm if the doors are locked with the key. If the driver door or liftgate is opened without first unlocking with the RKE transmitter, the horn will chirp and the lights will flash to indicate a pre-alarm. If the vehicle is not started, or the door is not unlocked by pressing K on the RKE transmitter during the 10-second pre-alarm, the alarm will be activated. The alarm will also be activated if the passenger door, the liftgate, or the hood is opened without first disarming the system. When the alarm is activated, the turn signals flash and the horn sounds for about 30 seconds. The alarm system will then re-arm to monitor for the next unauthorized event.
Disarming the System To disarm the system or turn off the alarm if it has been activated, do one of the following: . Press K on the RKE transmitter. . Start the vehicle.
To avoid setting off the alarm by accident:
Lock the vehicle with the RKE transmitter after all occupants have left the vehicle and all doors are closed.
. Always unlock the vehicle with the RKE transmitter. Unlocking the driver door with the key will not disarm the alarm. Unlocking the driver door with the key will not disarm the system or turn off the alarm.
How to Detect a Tamper Condition If K is pressed on the RKE transmitter and the horn chirps or the lights flash three times, a previous alarm occurred while the system was armed. If the alarm has been activated, a message will appear on the DIC. See Vehicle Messages on page 5-25 for more information.

The system is automatically disarmed when the vehicle is started with the correct key. The key uses a transponder that matches an immobilizer control unit in the vehicle and automatically disarms the system. Only an authorized key starts the vehicle. The vehicle may not start if the key is damaged.
The security light, in the instrument cluster, comes on if there is a problem with arming or disarming the theft-deterrent system. When trying to start the vehicle, the security light comes on briefly when the ignition is turned on.
If the engine does not start and the security light stays on, there is a problem with the system. Turn the ignition off and try again. If the engine still does not start, and the key appears to be undamaged or the light continues to stay on, try another ignition key. If the engine does not start with the other key, the vehicle needs service. If the vehicle does start, the first key may be damaged. See your dealer who can service the theft-deterrent system and have a new key made. Do not leave the key or device that disarms or deactivates the theft-deterrent system in the vehicle.

Seats and Restraints
Head Restraints { Warning
With head restraints that are not installed and adjusted properly, there is a greater chance that occupants will suffer a neck/ spinal injury in a crash. Do not drive until the head restraints for all occupants are installed and adjusted properly.
Adjust the head restraint so that the top of the restraint is at the same height as the top of the occupant's head. This position reduces the chances of a neck injury in a crash. Front Seats
