The Vehicle Security system is designed to protect

your vehicle. However, you can create conditions

where the system will give you a false alarm. If one

of the previously described arming sequences has

occurred, the Vehicle Security system will arm

regardless of whether you are in the vehicle or not.

If you remain in the vehicle and open a door, the

alarm will sound. If this occurs, disarm the Vehicle

Security system.

WARNING!



Do not start or run an engine in a closed

garage or confined area. Exhaust gas contains

Carbon Monoxide (CO) which is odorless and

colorless. Carbon Monoxide is poisonous and

can cause serious injury or death when

inhaled.



Keep key fobs away from children. Operation

of the Remote Start system, windows, door

locks or other controls could cause serious

injury or death.

mobile phone, laptop, or other electronic device;

these devices may block the key fob’s wireless

signal and prevent the Passive Entry system

from locking/unlocking the vehicle.



Passive Entry Unlock initiates illuminated

approach (low beams, license plate lamp, posi

-

tion lamps) for whichever time duration is set

between 0, 30, 60 or 90 seconds. Passive Entry

Unlock also initiates two flashes of the turn

signal lamps.



If wearing gloves, or if it has been raining/

snowing on the Passive Entry door handle, the

unlock sensitivity can be affected, resulting in a

slower response time.



If the vehicle is unlocked by Passive Entry and

no door is opened within 60 seconds, the

vehicle will relock and (if equipped) will arm the

Vehicle Security system.

door handle is grabbed regardless of the

driver’s door unlock preference setting.

Frequency Operated Button Integrated Key

(FOBIK-Safe)
To minimize the possibility of unintentionally

locking a Passive Entry key fob inside your vehicle,

the Passive Entry system is equipped with an

automatic door unlock feature which will function if

the ignition is in the OFF position.
There are five situations that trigger a FOBIK-Safe

search in any passive entry vehicle:



A lock request is made by a valid Passive Entry

key fob while a door is open.



A lock request is made by the Passive Entry door

handle while a door is open.



A lock request is made by the door panel switch

while the door is open.



When the Vehicle Security system is in pre-arm

or armed status and the tailgate transitions

from open to closed.



When the tailgate transitions from open to

closed and remote start is active.

When any of these situations occur, after all open

doors are shut, the FOBIK-Safe search will be

executed. If it detects a Passive Entry key fob

inside the vehicle, the vehicle will unlock and alert

the customer.

NOTE:

The vehicle will only unlock the doors when a valid

Passive Entry key fob is detected inside the

vehicle. The vehicle will not unlock the doors when

any of the following conditions are true:



The doors are manually locked using the door

lock knobs.



Three attempts are made to lock the doors

using the door panel switch and then the doors

are closed.



There is a valid Passive Entry key fob outside the

vehicle within 5 ft (1.5 m) of a Passive Entry

door handle.

ESTRAINTS

Head restraints are designed to reduce the risk of

injury by restricting head movement in the event of

a rear impact. Head restraints should be adjusted

so that the top of the head restraint is located

above the top of your ear.

NOTE:

Do not reverse the head restraints (making the

rear of the head restraint face forward) in an

attempt to gain additional clearance to the back of

your head.

Front Head Restraints

Your vehicle is equipped with front four-way driver

and passenger head restraints.
To raise the head restraint, pull upward on the

head restraint. To lower the head restraint, push

the adjustment button, located at the base of the

head restraint, and push downward on the head

restraint.

NOTE:

The head restraints should only be removed by

qualified technicians, for service purposes only. If

either of the head restraints require removal, see

an authorized dealer.

Head Restraint Adjustment Button Location

To adjust the head restraint forward, pull the top of

the head restraint toward the front of the vehicle

as desired and release. To adjust the head

restraint rearward, pull the top of the head

restraint to the forward most position and release.

The head restraint will return to the rear most

position.

WARNING!



All occupants, including the driver, should not

operate a vehicle or sit in a vehicle’s seat until

the head restraints are placed in their proper

positions in order to minimize the risk of neck

injury in the event of a crash.



Head restraints should never be adjusted

while the vehicle is in motion. Driving a vehicle

with the head restraints improperly adjusted

or removed could cause serious injury or

death in the event of a collision.
