Sun Visors

To block out glare, swing down the sun visors. They
can also be moved to the side windows. The sun visors
also have extenders that can be pulled out for added
coverage.

Visor Vanity Mirror

Open the cover on the sun visor to expose the
vanity mirror.

Lighted Visor Vanity Mirrors

If the vehicle has the lighted vanity mirrors, the lamps
come on when the cover is opened.

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. However, there are ways you
can help.

PASS-Key

®

II

The vehicle is equipped
with the PASS-Key

®

II

(Personalized Automotive
Security System)
theft-deterrent system.
PASS-Key

®

II is a passive

theft-deterrent system.
It works when the ignition
key is inserted or
removed from the ignition.

PASS-Key

®

II uses a resistor pellet in the ignition key

that matches a decoder in the vehicle.

When the PASS-Key

®

II system senses that the wrong

key has been inserted into the ignition, it shuts down
the vehicle’s starter and fuel systems. The starter will not
work and fuel will not go to the engine for about three
minutes. If someone tries to start the vehicle again with
the wrong key, or uses another incorrect key during
this time, the vehicle will not start. This discourages
someone from randomly trying keys with different
resistor pellets in an attempt to make a match.
