Matching Transmitter(s) To Your Vehicle
Each remote keyless entry 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. Once your dealer has
coded the new transmitter, the lost transmitter will not
unlock your vehicle. Each vehicle can have only two
transmitters matched to it.

Trunk
It can be dangerous to drive with the trunk lid
open because carbon monoxide
(CO) gas can
come into your vehicle. You can’t see or smell
CO. It can cause unconsciousness and even death.
If you must drive with the trunk lid open or if
electrical wiring or other cable connections must
pass through the seal between the body and the
trunk lid:
Make sure all windows are shut.
Turn the fan on your heating or cooling
system to its highest speed with the setting
on
AUTO or ECON and the temperature
between
65” F (18” C) and 85” F (29” C).
That will force outside air into your vehicle.
See “Comfort Controls” in the Index.
If you have air outlets on or under the
instrument panel, open them all the
way.

Your car has an automatic pull-down feature that
helps close the trunk electronically. Your fingers
can be trapped under the trunk lid as it goes
down. Your fingers could be injured, and you
would need someone
to help you free them. Keep
your fingers away from the trunk lid
as you close
it and as it is going down.
With the automatic pull-down feature, you never have to
slam the trunk lid in order to close the trunk. Instead,
gently lower the trunk lid until it is nearly shut
-- the
automatic pull-down unit will take over and lock the
trunk firmly.

Vehicle theft is big business, especially in some cities.
Although your vehicle has a number of theft-deterrent
features, we know that nothing we put on it can make
it impossible to steal. However, there are ways you
can help.
Key in the Ignition
If you leave your vehicle with the keys inside, it’s an
easy target for joy riders or professional thieves -- so
don’t do it.
When you park your vehicle and open the driver’s door, you’ll hear a chime reminding you to remove your key
from the ignition and take
it with you. Always do this.
Your steering wheel will be locked, and
so will your
ignition and transaxle. And remember to lock the doors.
Parking at Night
Park in a lighted spot, close all windows and lock your
vehicle. Remember to keep your valuables out of sight.
Put them in a storage area,
or take them with you. If you park in
a lot where someone will be watching
your vehicle, it’s best to lock it
up and take your keys.
But what if you have to leave your ignition key?

Always unlock a door with a key or use the remote
keyless entry transmitter. (Pressing the unlock button
on the remote keyless entry transmitter disables the
theft-deterrent system.) Unlocking a door any other
way will activate the alarm. Cycling the ignition
without disarming the theft-deterrent system will
also activate the alarm.
The vehicle should be locked with the door key
after
the doors are closed if you don’t want to activate the
theft-deterrent system.
If you activate the alarm by accident, unlock any door with your key. You can also
turn off the alarm by using
the unlock button of the remote keyless entry
transmitter. The alarm won’t stop if you try to unlock a
door any other way.

1. From inside the vehicle, roll down the window, then get out of the vehicle, keeping the door open.
2. From outside of the vehicle, with the door open, lock
the vehicle using the power door lock or the remote
keyless entry transmitter and close the door. Wait
30
seconds until the SECURITY light goes off.
3. Reach in and unlock the door using the manual lock
and open the door. The horn
will sound and the
headlamps will flash.
If the alarm does not sound when it should, check to see
if the horn works. The horn fuse may be blown. To
replace the fuse, see “Fuses and Circuit Breakers” in the
Index.
If the fuse does not need to be replaced, you may
need to have your vehicle serviced.
To reduce the possibility of theft, always activate the
theft-deterrent system when leaving your vehicle.
Valet Lockout Button
Pressing the valet button
located inside the glove box
will disable the use of the
power trunk, fuel door and
garage door openers.
Pressing this button again
will make these features
reusable. Locking the
glove box with the door
key will also help to secure
your vehicle.
Note that the remote keyless entry transmitter can’t be used to open the
trunk or fuel door if the valet button
is on.

Your vehicle is equipped
with the PASS-Key

theft-deterrent system.
PASS-Key I1 is a passive
system. The system is
armed when the key
is
removed from the ignition.
PASS-Key
I1 uses a resistor pellet in the ignition key
that is read by the system in your vehicle.
If the key
resistor matches the code stored in the vehicle system,
the vehicle’s fuel and starting systems will be enabled.
If
an incorrect key is used, the vehicle’s fuel and starting
systems are disabled for three minutes. Additional
attempts during this lockout period will not start the car,
even with the correct key.
If the engine does not start and the STARTING
DISABLED, REMOVE KEY message is displayed in
the Driver Information Center, your key should be
checked for damage. Starting may be attempted with an
undamaged key immediately. See your dealer
or a
locksmith for key service.
If the STARTING DISABLED, REMOVE KEY and
WAIT
3 MINUTES messages are displayed, the key
should be cleaned. After three minutes,
try again. A
START CAR message will appear at this time. If the
engine still does not start, wait three minutes and
try a
duplicate key. At this time, fuses should be checked
(see
“Fuses and Circuit Breakers” in the Index). If the engine
does not start with the duplicate key, your vehicle needs
service. See your dealer for service.
