How to Turn Off the System Alarm
If the system alarm is active, it can be
deactivated using the following methods:

• Press the Lock or Unlock button on the

remote keyless entry transmitter.

• Unlock the driver’s or passenger’s front

door using the key.

Otherwise, the alarm will automatically
stop after 30 seconds. The system will
then lock the doors and reactivate the
theft-deterrent system.

How to Detect a Tamper Condition
If the hazard lamps flash once when the
Lock or Unlock button on your transmitter
is pressed, that means the theft-security
system alarm was triggered while you
were away.

Daily Inspection Checklist

Before Driving

1) Make sure that windows, mirrors, lights

and reflectors are clean and unob-
structed.

2) Visually check the tires for the following

points:

– the depth of the tread groove
– abnormal wear, cracks and damage
– loose wheel nuts
– existence of foreign material such as

nails, stones, etc.

Refer to “Tires” in the “SERVICE AND
APPEARANCE CARE” section for details.
3) Look for oil or other fluid leaks.

NOTE:
It is normal for water to drip from the air
conditioning system after use.

4) Make sure the hood is fully closed and

latched.

5) Check the headlights, turn signal lights,

brake lights and horn for proper opera-
tion.

6) Lock all doors.
7) Adjust the seat and adjustable head

restraints (if equipped).

8) Check the brake pedal.
9) Adjust the mirrors.
10)Make sure that you and all passengers

have properly fastened your safety
belts.

11)Make sure that all warning lights come

on as the key is turned to the “ON” or
“START” position.

12)Check all gauges.
13)Make sure that the BRAKE light turns

off when the parking brake is released.

Once a week, or each time you fill your fuel
tank, perform the following under-hood
checks:

1) Engine oil level
2) Coolant level
3) Brake fluid level
4) Power steering (if equipped) fluid level
5) Windshield washer fluid level
6) Hood latch operation

Pull the hood release handle inside the
vehicle. Make sure that you cannot
open the hood all the way without
releasing the secondary latch. Be sure
to close the hood securely after check-
ing for proper latch operation. See the
item “Lubricate Locks, Hinges & Hood
Latch” under “Chassis and Body” in the
“MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE” section
for the lubrication schedule.

WARNING

Make sure the hood is fully closed
and latched before driving. If it is not,
it can fly up unexpectedly during
driving, obstructing your view and
resulting in an accident.
