Door open warning lights

HB0230 HB0010
Your vehicle is equipped with door open warning lights. When a door is
not fully closed, a light comes on indicating specifically which door it is.
When all doors are properly closed, all of the door open warning lights
go out. Always make sure these lights are out before starting to drive.

Security system (if equipped)

The security system helps to protect your vehicle and valuables from
theft. The horn sounds and the headlights flash if someone attempts to
break into your vehicle. The starter motor is also interrupted to prevent
starting the vehicle without a key.

D The headlights flash and the horn sounds intermittently. In addition,
