Security Light This light will come on brieﬂy when you turn the key to START. The light will stay on until the engine starts. Cruise Control Light This symbol appears on your instrument panel whenever you set your cruise control. See "Cruise Control" under Turn Signal/Multifunction Lever on page 3-5. If the ignition is turned on, and the light ﬂashes, the Passlock® system has entered a tamper mode. If the vehicle fails to start, see Passlock® on page 2-16. If the light comes on continuously while driving and stays on, there may be a problem with the Passlock® system. Your vehicle will not be protected by Passlock®, and you should see your dealer. Also, see Content Theft-Deterrent on page 2-14 for additional information regarding the security light. Highbeam On Light This light comes on whenever the high-beam headlamps are on. 3-35
