Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Theft Parking Lots
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. If you have an automatic transmission, taking
your key out also locks your transmission. 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? What if
you have to leave something valuable in your vehicle?
Put your valuables in a storage area, like your
glove box.
0 Lock all the doors except the driver’s.
Passlock@
Your vehicle is equipped with the Passlock
theft-deterrent system.
Passlock is a passive theft-deterrent system. The system
is armed once the key is removed from the ignition.
Passlock enables fuel if the ignition lock cylinder is
turned with a valid key. If a correct key is not used, fuel
is disabled.
During normal operation, the
SECURITY light will go
off after the engine is started.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine You can use the DOME OVERRIDE button, located
below the parkingheadlamp
knob, to set the dome
lamps to
come on automatically when the doors are
opened, or to remain off. To turn the lamps off, press the
button once. With the button in this position, the dome
lamps will remain off when the doors are open. To
return the lamps to automatic operation, press the button
again and return it to the ‘‘OU~” position. With the button
in this position, the dome lamps will come on when you
open the door. This will not override the illuminated
entry feature.
Battery Run-Down Protection
This feature shuts off the dome, courtesy, vanity,
reading, glove box and underhood lamps
if they are left
on for more than
20 minutes when the ignition is off.
This will keep
your battery from running down.
If the battery run-down protection shuts
off the interior
lamps, to return to normal operation it may be
necessary to:
Shut off all lamps and close all doors, or
0 Turn the ignition key to RUN.
Mirrors
Electrochromic Daymight Inside
Rearview Mirror
Your vehicle may have an automatic electrochromic
dayhight rearview mirror.
This mirror automatically changes to reduce glare from
headlamps behind you.
A photocell on the back of the
mirror senses when it is becoming
dark outside. Another
photocell built into the mirror surface senses when
headlamps are behind you.

Your passenger’s side mirror is convex. A convex
mirror’s surface is curved so you can see more from the
driver’s seat.
Storage Compartments
Glove Box
To open your glove box, lift the lever on the front of the
glove
box and lower the door. The glove box should not
1 be open while driving.
4 Overhead Console (If Equipped)
A convex mirror can make things (like other
vehicles) look farther away than they really are.
If you cut too sharply into the right lane, you
could hit a vehicle on your right. Check your
inside mirror or glance over your shoulder before
changing lanes.
Heated Outside Rearview Mirror
(If Equipped)
When you operate the rear window defogger, a defogger also warms the heated outside mirrors to help clear them
of ice and snow. See “Rear Window Defogger’’ in
the
Index for more information. The overhead console includes reading lamps, a
compartment for a garage door opener, a temperature
and compass display and a storage compartment
for sunglasses.

This is the legal identifier for your vehicle. It appears on
a plate in the front corner

windshield from outside your
vehicle. The VIN also
