Swing-Out Windows

If your two-door vehicle has rear swing-out windows, unlatch them at the clasps and push out on the glass to open them.

When you close the window, be sure the latch catches.

Sun Visors

To block glare, pull the visor down. It can also be detached from the center mount and moved to the side to block glare from that direction.

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.

Content Theft-Deterrent

Your vehicle may be equipped with a Content Theft-Deterrent alarm system.

With this system, the SECURITY light will flash as you open the door

if your ignition is off.

This light reminds you to activate the theft-deterrent system. Here’s how to do it:

1.Open the door.

2.Lock the door with the power door lock switch or the remote keyless entry transmitter. The SECURITY light should come on and stay on.

3.Close all doors. The SECURITY light should go off after approximately 30 seconds. The alarm is not armed until the SECURITY light goes off.

If a door is opened without the key or the remote keyless entry transmitter, the alarm will go off. Your vehicle’s headlamps will flash and the horn will sound for

110 seconds, then will turn off to save the battery power.
