18 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE
• This device must accept any interference that may be
received, including interference that may cause undes-
ired operation.
STEERING WHEEL LOCK — IF EQUIPPED
Your vehicle may be equipped with a passive steering
wheel lock (manual transmission only). This lock pre-
vents steering the vehicle without the ignition key. If the
steering wheel is moved one-half turn in either direction
and the key is not in the ignition, the steering wheel will
lock.

To Manually Lock the Steering Wheel

With the engine running, rotate the steering wheel one-
half revolution from the straight ahead position, turn
OFF the engine, and remove the key. Rotate the steering
wheel slightly in both directions, until the lock engages.

To Release the Steering Wheel Lock

Insert the key in the ignition and turn the wheel slightly
to the right or left to disengage the lock.
NOTE: If you turned the wheel to the right to engage
the lock, you must turn the wheel slightly to the right to
disengage it. If you turned the wheel to the left to engage
the lock, turn the wheel slightly to the left to disengage it.
SECURITY ALARM SYSTEM — IF EQUIPPED
The Vehicle Security Alarm (VSA) system monitors the
vehicle doors, liftgate, and liftgate flip-up window for
unauthorized entry and ignition for unauthorized opera-
tion.
If something triggers the alarm, the system will sound
the horn intermittently, flash the headlights and tail-
lights, and flash the Vehicle Security Alarm Indicator
Light in the instrument cluster.
