THEFT ALARM
To Arm
• Press the Keyless Enter-N-Go Start/Stop button until the Electronic Vehicle
Information Center (EVIC) indicates that the vehicle ignition is “OFF”. Press the
power door lock switch while the door is open, press the Key Fob LOCK button, or
with one of the Key Fobs located outside the vehicle and within 5 ft (1.5m) of the
driver's and passenger front door handles, press the Keyless Enter-N-Go LOCK
button located on the door handle.
NOTE: After pressing the Keyless Enter-N-Go LOCK button, you must wait two seconds
before you can lock or unlock the vehicle via the door handle.
To Disarm
• Press the Key Fob UNLOCK button or with one of the Key Fobs located outside the
vehicle and within 5 ft (1.5m) of the driver's and passenger front door handles,
grab the Keyless Enter-N-Go door handle and enter the vehicle, then press the
Keyless Enter-N-Go Start/Stop button (requires at least one valid Key Fob in the
vehicle).
SEAT BELT
• Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat and using a seat belt properly.
• Position the lap belt across your thighs, below your abdomen. To remove slack in
the lap portion, pull up a bit on the shoulder belt. To loosen the lap belt if it is too
tight, tilt the latch plate and pull on the lap belt. A snug belt reduces the risk of
sliding under the belt in a collision.
• Position the shoulder belt on your chest so that it is comfortable and not resting on
your neck. The retractor will withdraw any slack in the belt.
• A shoulder belt placed behind you will not protect you from injury during a
collision. You are more likely to hit your head in a collision if you do not wear your
shoulder belt. The lap and shoulder belt are meant to be used together.
• A belt that is too loose will not protect you properly. In a sudden stop you could
move too far forward, increasing the possibility of injury. Wear your seat belt
snugly.
• A frayed or torn belt could rip apart in a collision and leave you with no protection.
Inspect the belt system periodically, checking for cuts, frays, or loose parts.
Damaged parts must be replaced immediately. Do not disassemble or modify the
system. Seat belt assemblies must be replaced after a collision if they have been
damaged (bent retractor, torn webbing, etc.).
• The seat belts for both front seating positions are equipped with pretensioning
devices that are designed to remove slack from the seat belt in the event of a
collision.
• A deployed pretensioner or a deployed air bag must be replaced immediately.
