This figure lights up when you turn the

Run or Start when your safety
belt isn’t buckled, and you’ll hear a
chime, too. It’s the reminder to buckle
UP.
n many states and Canadian provinces,
le law says to wear safety belts. Here’s
rhy:
They work.
You never know if you’ll be in a crash.
If you do have a crash, you don’t know
if it will be a bad one.
A few crashes are very mild. In them,
you won’t get hurt even if you’re not
buckled up. And some crashes can be
so
serious, like being hit by a train, that
even buckled up a person wouldn’t
survive. But most crashes are in
between. In many
of them, people who
buckle up can survive and sometimes
walk away. Without belts they could be
badly
hurt or killed.
After
25 years of safety belts in vehicles,
the facts are clear.
In most crashes
buckling up does matter.

You can lock or unlock all doors of your
vehicle from the driver or passenger
door lock switch.
On 4-door models, the switch on each rear door works only that door’s lock. It
won’t lock (or unlock) all of the
doors-that’s a safety feature.
Automatic Door Locks
Just close your doors and turn on the
ignition. If you have an automatic
transaxle, all
of the doors will lock
when you move your shift lever out of
P (Park) or N (Neutral). If you have a
manual transaxle, all of the doors will
lock when the vehicle goes about
8 mph
(13km/h). Each time you close your
doors and turn on the ignition, the doors
will lock automatically only once. If
someone needs to get out while the
vehicle is running, have that person use
the manual or power lock. When the
door
is closed again, it will not lock
automatically. Just use the manual or
power lock to lock the door again.
ures & Controls
Leaving Your Vehicle
If you are leaving the vehicle, open your
door and set the locks from inside. Then
get out and close the door.
Illuminated Entry/Exit System
When you lift the handle of either front
door, the lights inside your vehicle will
go on. (On the wagon, the rear
compartment light will not
go on when
the doors are opened.) These lights will
go off after about 40 seconds, or when
the ignition
is turned on.
If the ignition has been off for less than
two minutes, the lights inside your vehicle will stay on for about four
seconds to provide an illuminated exit.
The illuminated entry/exit system is
deactivated when the dome light lever is
moved to the
OFF position.

With the ignition key in the ignition switch,
you can
turn the switch to five positions:
Accessory: An “on” position in which
you can operate your electrical power
accessories. Press in the ignition switch
as
you turn the top of it toward you.
Lock: The only position in which you
can remove the key. This locks your
steering wheel, ignition and transaxle.
Off: Unlocks the steering wheel,
ignition and transaxle, but does not send
electrical power
to any accessories. Use
this position
if your vehicle must be
pushed
or towed, but never try to push-
start your vehicle.
A warning chime will
sound
if you open the driver’s door
when the ignition is
off and the key is in
the ignition.
Run: An “on” position to which the
switch returns after
you start your
engine and release the switch. The
switch stays in
the Run position when
the engine is running. But even when
the engine is not running, you can use
Run to operate your electrical power
accessories, and to display some instru-
ment panel warning lights.
Start: Starts the engine. When the
engine starts, release the key. The
ignition switch will return to
Run for
normal driving.
Note that even
if the engine is not
running; the positions
Accessory and
Run are “on” positions that allow you
to operate your electrical accessories,
such as the radio.

from
the ignition unless the key release
button is used.
