Front Seat Position
Your vehicle has a right front passenger air bag. Never
put a rear-facing child restraint in this seat. Here’s why:
A child in a rear-facing child restraint can be
seriously injured if the right front passenger’s air
bag inflates. This is because the back of a
rearfacing child restraint would be very close to
the inflating air bag. Always secure a rear-facing
child restraint
in the rear seat.
You’ll be using the lap-shoulder belt. See the earlier part
about the top strap if the child restraint has one. Be sure
to follow the instructions that came with the child
restraint. Secure the child in the child restraint when and
as the instructions say.
1. Because your vehicle has a right front passenger air
bag, always move the seat as far back as it will go
before securing a forward-facing child restraint.
(See “Seats” in the Index.)

3. Pick up the latch plate, and run the lap and shoulder
portions of the vehicle’s safety belt through

If your vehicle is equipped with the Vehicle and Content
Theft-DeterrenVAlarm System, you will have a fourth
button on your transmitter. This button is the panic
button. If you are involved in a panic situation, press
this button and your vehicle’s horn will sound and the
headlamps will flash. This will draw needed attention to
you and your vehicle.
To turn this feature off, either
push the panic button again or turn the ignition to the
RUN position. Note: This feature will not work if your
ignition is on or if the transmitter is
30 feet (9 m) or
more away from your vehicle.
Transmitter Range
The range of your keyless entry system should be about
30 feet (9 m). At times you may notice a decrease in the
range. This is normal for any keyless entry system. If
the transmitter does not work, or you have to stand
closer to your vehicle for the transmitter to work:
0 You may have to replace the battery in your transmitter.
See the instructions for battery replacement.
0 You may be too far from your vehicle. Check your
distance. You may have to stand closer to your
vehicle in rain or snow.
You may have to synchronize your transmitter to
the receiver in your vehicle. See the instructions
for synchronization.
0 You may have to match the transmitters to your
vehicle. See instructions.
If none of the above apply, see your dealer or
qualified technician for service.
Synchronization
Synchronization may be necessary due to the security
method used by the keyless entry system. The transmitter
does not send the same signal twice to the receiver. The
receiver will not respond to a signal it has been sent
previously. This prevents anyone from recoding and
playing back the signal from the transmitter. To
resynchronize the transmitter with the receiver:
0 While standing close to your vehicle, at the same
time press and hold the LOCK and
UNLOCK buttons
on the transmitter for about eight seconds.
The door
locks should cycle and the parking lamps should
flash to confirm synchronization. If
this does not
happen, you may need to replace the battery in your
transmitter or match the transmitter to vour vehicle.
Check the location. Other vehicles or objects may be
blocking the signal, Take a few steps to the right or left.

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.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine If you’re ever driving and the SECURITY light comes
on and stays
on, you will be able to restart your engine
if you turn it off. Your PASS-Key I1 system, however,
is not working properly and must be serviced by
your dealer. Your vehicle is not protected by the
PASS-Key I1 system.
If you lose or damage a PASS-Key I1 ignition key, see
your dealer or a locksmith who can service PASS-Key I1
to have a new key made. In an emergency, call the

1. Close the panel. If the close-out panel is not closed
and resting on the trim panel, it cannot be removed.
2. Pull the panel toward you to unsnap it. Then slide the
close-out panel along the groove in the trim panel.
Reverse the steps to install the panel. An improperly stored close-out panel could be
thrown about the vehicle during
a collision or
sudden maneuver.
You or others could be
injured.
If you remove the cover, always store it
outside your vehicle. When you put it back,
always be sure that it
is securely reattached.

Lift up the cover to open the ashtray. To remove it,
lift up on the right side
of the ashtray. If you have an
automatic transmission, the ashtray is near the front of
your console. If you have a manual transmission, the
ashtray is near your cupholder.
I NOTICE:
When carrying large or heavy items, it is a good idea to
open the panel and place the items in the rear area. Don’t put papers and other things that burn into
your ashtrays.
If you do, cigarettes or other smoking
materials could
set them on fire, causing damage.
