{Warning
Leaving children in a vehicle with the ignition key is dangerous and children or others could be seriously injured or killed. They could operate the power windows or other controls or make the vehicle move. The windows will function with the keys in the ignition, and children or others could be caught in the path of a closing window. Do not leave children in a vehicle with the ignition key.
8Keys, Doors, and Windows
{Warning
If the key is unintentionally rotated while the vehicle is running, the ignition could be moved out of the RUN position. This could be caused by heavy items hanging from the key ring, or by large or long items attached to the key ring that could be contacted by the driver or steering wheel. If the ignition moves out of the RUN position, the engine will shut off, braking and steering power assist may be

Warning (Continued)
impacted, and airbags may not deploy. To reduce the risk of unintentional rotation of the ignition key, do not change the way the ignition key and Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter, if equipped, are connected to the provided key rings.
The ignition key and key rings, and RKE transmitter, if equipped, are designed to work together as a system to reduce the risk of unintentionally moving the key out of the RUN position. The ignition key has a small hole to allow attachment of the provided key ring. It is important that any replacement ignition keys have a small hole. See your dealer if a replacement key is required.
The combination and size of the rings that came with your keys were specifically selected for your vehicle. The rings are connected to the key like two links of a chain to
reduce the risk of unintentionally moving the key out of the RUN position. Do not add any additional items to the ring attached to the ignition key. Attach additional items only to the second ring, and limit added items to a few essential keys or small, light items no larger than an RKE transmitter.
Keys, Doors, and Windows 9
Interference from radio-frequency identification (RFID) tags may prevent the key from starting the vehicle. Keep RFID tags away from the key when starting the vehicle.
The key that is part of the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter can be used for the ignition and all locks.
Press the button on the front of the RKE transmitter to extend the key. Never extend the key without pressing the button.
Press the button and the key blade to retract the key.

Door Locks
{Warning
Unlocked doors can be dangerous.
.Passengers, especially children, can easily open the doors and fall out of a moving vehicle. The doors can be unlocked and opened while the vehicle is moving.

So, all passengers should wear seat belts properly and the doors should be locked whenever the vehicle is driven.
(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
.Young children who get into unlocked vehicles may be unable to get out. A child can be overcome by extreme heat and can suffer permanent injuries or even death from heat stroke. Always lock the vehicle whenever leaving it.
.Outsiders can easily enter through an unlocked door when you slow down or stop the vehicle. Locking the doors can help prevent this from happening.
To lock or unlock the doors from outside the vehicle, use the key in
the driver door or press Q or K on the RKE transmitter. See Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) System Operation (Key Access) 0 10 or Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) System Operation (Keyless Access) 0 13.

Vehicle Security
This vehicle has theft-deterrent features; however, they do not make the vehicle impossible to steal.
Vehicle Alarm System
This vehicle has an anti-theft alarm system.
The security light, on the instrument panel near the windshield, indicates the status of the system:
Off : Alarm system is disarmed.
On Solid : Vehicle is secured during the delay to arm the system.
Fast Flash : Vehicle is unsecured. A door, the hood, or the liftgate
is open.
Slow Flash : Alarm system is armed.
Arming the Alarm System
1.Turn off the vehicle.
2.Lock the vehicle with one of the following:
. Use the RKE transmitter.
. With a door open, press Q on the interior.
3.After 30 seconds the alarm system will arm, and the indicator light will begin to slowly flash indicating the alarm system is operating. Pressing Q on the RKE transmitter a second time will bypass the 30-second delay and immediately arm the alarm system.
The vehicle alarm system will not arm if the doors are locked with the key.
22 Keys, Doors, and Windows
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 (Base Level Cluster) 0 103 or
Vehicle Messages (Uplevel Cluster)
0 104 for more information.
