You can lose control of the vehicle if you try to
adjust
a manual driver’s seat while the vehicle is
moving. The sudden movement could startle and
confuse you, or make you push
a pedal when you
don’t want to. Adjust the driver’s seat only when
the vehicle
is not moving. Move the
lever under the passenger’s front seat
to
unlock it.
Slide
the seat to where you want it. Then release the
lever and try to move the seat with your body to make
sure
the seat is locked into place. Be sure the lever
returns to its original position after moving the seat.

This feature provides feedback to the holder of the
keyless entry transmitter that a command has been
received by the keyless entry receiver. The parking
lamps will flash
on every lock and unlock command and
the horn will sound only if the
LOCK button is pressed
twice within five seconds. This allows for silent
operation
of locking and unlocking, unless a confirming
horn chirp is desired. Other options may be selected for
this feature (see “Feature Customization” in the Index).
Matching Transmitter(s) To Your Vehicle
Each 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. Remember to bring any remaining
transmitters with you when you go
to your dealer. When
the dealer matches the replacement transmitter to your
vehicle, any remaining transmitters must also be matched.
Once your dealer has coded the new transmitter, the lost transmitter will not unlock your vehicle. Each vehicle can
have only four transmitters matched to
it.
Have each transmitter you intend to match ready for the
next steps.
To match transmitters to your vehicle:
1. Turn the ignition to RUN, then to OFF. This
will disarm the Vehicle and Content Theft-DeterrenVAlann System (if your vehicle
has
this option).
2. Remove the RADIO fuse. This fuse is located in the
main fuse block which is located on the left side
of
your main instrument panel. When the fuse block is
open the radio fuse is located on the lower right hand
corner of your instrument panel. See “Fuses and
Circuit Breakers’’ in the Index.
3. Turn the ignition from OFF to RUN three times
quickly (within five seconds). The vehicle will
respond by locking the doors, unlocking the driver’s
doors and releasing the hatch. Your transmitter is
now ready to match the vehicle.
4. Press and hold the LOCK and UNLOCK buttons on
the first transmitter for
15 seconds. The vehicle will
respond as in Step
3.
5. Repeat Step 4 for the remaining transmitters.

1
Your vehicle is equipped
with the PASS-Key I1
(Personalized Automotive
Security System)
theft-deterrent system.
PASS-Key
I1 is a passive
theft-deterrent system.
It works when you insert
or remove the key from
the ignition.
PASS-Key
I1 uses a resistor pellet in the ignition key
that matches a decoder in your vehicle.
When the PASS-Key
I1 system senses that someone is
using the wrong key, it shuts down the vehicle’s starter
and fuel systems. For about three minutes, the starter
won’t work and fuel won’t go to the engine. If someone
tries to start your vehicle again or uses another key
during this time, the vehicle will not start. This
discourages someone from randomly trying different
keys with different resistor pellets in an attempt
to
make a match. The ignition key must
be clean and dry before it’s
inserted in the ignition or the engine may not start. If
the engine does not start and the
SECURITY light stays
on when you
try to start the vehicle, the key may be
dirty or wet.
Turn the ignition off.
Clean and dry the key. Wait about three minutes and
try
again. The SECURITY light may remain on during this
time. If the starter still won’t work, and the key appears
to be clean and dry, wait about three minutes and try
another ignition key. At this time, you may also want
to
check the fuses (see “Fuses and Circuit Breakers” in the
Index).
If the starter won’t work with the other key, your
vehicle needs service. If your vehicle does start, the first
ignition key may be faulty. See your dealer or a
locksmith who can service the PASS-Key
11.
If you accidentally use a key that has a damaged or
missing resistor pellet, the starter won’t work. The
SECURITY light will flash. But you don’t have to wait
three minutes before trying another ignition key.
See your dealer or a locksmith who can service the
PASS-Key
I1 to have a new key made.

Exit Lighting and Delayed Illumination
With Exit Lighting, your interior lamps will come on

the ignition.
With Delayed Illumination, your interior lamps will come
on and stay
on for up to 25 seconds when entering the
vehicle and up
to 5 seconds when leaving your vehicle.
Your vehicle comes with both features enabled (Mode

To change the factory setting, do the following:
1. Turn the courtesy lamps on by turning the instrument
panel brightness control knob all the way up.
2. Count the number of chimes you hear. The number of
chimes tells you which mode your vehicle is set for.
3. Turn the courtesy lamp switch to off.
4. Turn the courtesy lamp switch from on to off until
you hear the number
of chimes that corresponds to
the mode selection you want.

New Vehicle “Break-In”
NOTICE:
Your vehicle doesn’t need an elaborate
“break-in.” But it will perform better in the long
run if
you follow these guidelines:
Keep your speed at 55 mph (88 kmh) or
less for the first
500 miles (805 km).
Don’t drive at any one speed -- fast or
slow -- for the first 500 miles (805 km).
Don’t make full-throttle starts.
200 miles (322 km) or so. During this time
your new brake linings aren’t yet broken
in. Hard stops with new linings can mean
premature wear and earlier replacement.
Follow this breaking-in guideline every
time
you get new brake linings.
See “Towing
a Trailer” in the Index for
more information.
Avoid making hard stops for the first
Don’t tow a trailer during break-in.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine To Use the Engine Coolant Heater
1. Turn off the engine.
2. Open the hood and unwrap the electrical cord.
The cord is attached to the outside of the underhood
fuse box.
3. Plug it into a normal, grounded 110-volt AC outlet.
A CA’ TIQ‘T:
I
Plugging the cord into an ungrounded outlet
could cause an electrical shock. Also, the wrong
kind of extension cord could overheat and cause
a fire. You could be seriously injured. Plug the
cord into a properly grounded three-prong
110-volt AC outlet.
If the cord won’t reach, use a
heavy-duty three-prong extension cord rated for
at least 15
amps.
4. Before starting the engine, be sure to unplug and
store the cord as it was before to keep it away
from moving engine parts.
If you don’t, it could
be damaged.
How long should you keep the coolant heater plugged
in? The answer depends on the outside temperature, the
kind of oil you have, and some other things. Instead of
trying to list everything here, we ask that you contact
your dealer in the area where you’ll be parking your
vehicle. The dealer can give you the best advice for
that particular area.

Breakers” in the Index).

You can control the windshield wipers by turning the
band with the wiper symbol on it.
For
a single wiping cycle, turn the band to MIST. Hold
it there until the wipers start, then let go. The wipers will
stop after one cycle. If you want more cycles, hold the
band on MIST longer.
You can set the wiper speed for
a long or short delay
between wipes. This can be very useful in light rain or
snow. Turn the band to choose the delay time. The
closer to
LO, the shorter the delay.
