Push the power door
lock switch
to lock or
unlock all the doors at
once. The rear power
door lock switches
won’t unlock any of
the doors
-- that’s a
safety feature.
Automatic Door Locks
Just close your doors and turn on the ignition. Every time you move your
shift lever out of
“P” (Park) all of the doors will lock. And, every time you
stop and move your shift lever into “P” (Park), your doors will unlock. If
someone needs to get out while you’re not in “P” (Park), 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.
You can also have this feature changed where
the doors will stay locked
when you shift back into “P” (Park). Ask your dealership for details.
Leaving Your khicle
If you are leaving the vehicle, open the door, set the locks from inside, get
out and close the door.
Central Door Unlocking System
Your vehicle may be equipped with this feature. When unlocking either
door, you can unlock the other doors by holding the key
in the turned
position for a
few seconds.

Each key chain transmitter is coded to prevent another transmitter from
unlocking your vehicle.
If a transmitter is lost or stolen, a replacement
can be purchased through your dealer. Remember to bring the remaining
transmitter with you when you
go to your dealer. When the dealer
matches the replacement transmitter to your vehicle, the remaining
transmitter must
also be matched. Once the new transmitter is coded, the
lost transmitter will not unlock your vehicle.
You can match a transmitter to as many different vehicles as you
own,
provided they are equipped with exactly the same model system. (General
Motors offers several different models of these systems on their vehicles.)
Each vehicle can have
only 2 transmitters matched to it.
See your dealer to match transmitters to another vehicle.
Battery Replacement
' '1
Under normal use, the batteries in your key chain transmitter should last
about
two years.
You can tell the batteries are weak
if the transmitter won't work at the
normal range in any location.
If you have to get dose to your vehicle
before the transmitter works, it's probably time
to change the batteries.

“Fuses” in the Index) and for burned-out bulbs.
Operation of Lights
Although your vehicle’s lighting system (headlights, parking \
lights, fog
lamps, side marker lights and taillights) meets all applicable federal
lighting requirements, certain states and provinces may apply their
own
lighting regulations that may require special attention before you operate
these lights.
For example, some jurisdictions may require that you operate your lower
beam lights with fog lamps at all times, or that headlights be turned on
whenever you must use your windshield wipers. In addition, most
jurisdictions prohibit driving solely with parking lights, especially at dawn
or dusk. It is recommended that you check with your
own state or
provincial highway authoritfi for applicable lighting regulations.

headlights from low

The Canadian Federal Government has decided that “Daytime Running
Lights” (DRL) are a useful feature, in that DRL can make your vehicle
more visible
to pedestrians and other drivers during daylight hours. DRL
are required on new vehicles sold
in Canada.

of the instrument panel. Don’t
cover it up.

when:
0 The ignition is on
0 The headlight switch is off, and
0 The transaxle is not in “P” (Park).
At dusk, if the Twilight Sentinel feature is turned on, the exterior lights
will come on automatically and the low beams will change to full
brightness. At dawn, the exterior lights will go out and the low beams will
change to the reduced brightness
of DRL (if the headlight switch is off).
Of course, you may still turn on the headlights any time you need to.
To idle your vehicle with the DRL
