Sliding Door Security Lock
Your vehicle is equipped with a sliding door security
lock that helps prevent young children or other
passengers from opening the sliding door by using the
inside door handle. This lock is on both doors if your
vehicle has the dual sliding doors.
If
you have the optional power sliding door, you can
override the security lock by pressing either power
door switch when
the power sliding door override
feature
is disabled. See “Power Sliding Door” earlier
in the section.

1s located on the inside of the
sliding door, on the front edge of the door. To access the
lever, open the sliding door. Use the security lock label
on the edge of the door as a guide.

To use the security lock,
move the security lock lever
all the way up and close
the
door from the outside. You
should let adults and older children know how the
security lock works, and how to cancel the lock. If you
don’t, adults
or older children who ride in the rear won’t
be able to open the sliding door from the inside when the security lock feature is in use.
Canceling the Sliding Door Security Lock
1. Unlock the sliding door and open the door from
the outside.
2. Move the security lock lever all the way down.
The sliding door lock will now work normally.
If you have the optional power sliding door, disable the
power sliding door by pushing the override switch on
the overhead console. The power sliding door cannot be
opened from the inside when this feature is in use.
If you want to open the sliding door when the security
lock is on, unlock the sliding door and open the door
from the outside.
If you have the optional power sliding door, disable the
power sliding door override feature. Press either power door switch.
Liftgate
To unlock the liftgate from the outside, turn the key in
the cylinder to the right. To lock the liftgate using the
key, turn the key to the left.
Open the liftgate using the handle above the license
plate. Once slightly opened, the liftgate will rise by
itself. Lamps in the rear of the vehicle will come on,
illuminating the rear cargo area (see “Interior Lamps”
in the Index).

Steering in Emergencies
There are times when steering can be more effective
than braking. For example, you come over a hill and
find a truck stopped in your lane, or a car suddenly pulls
out from nowhere, or a child darts out from between
parked cars and stops right in front of you. You can
avoid these problems by braking
-- if you can stop in
time. But sometimes you can’t; there isn’t room.
That’s the time for evasive action
-- steering around
the problem.
Your vehicle can perform very well in emergencies like
these. First apply your brakes. (See “Braking in
Emergencies” earlier in this section.) It is better to
remove as much speed as you can from a possible
collision. Then steer around the problem, to the left or
right depending on the space available. An
emergency like this requires close attention and a
quick decision. If you are holding the steering wheel at
the recommended 9 and
3 o’clock positions, you can
turn it a full 180 degrees very quickly without removing
either hand. But you have to act fast, steer quickly, and
just as quickly straighten the wheel once you have
avoided the object.
The fact that such emergency situations are always
possible is a good reason to practice defensive driving at
all times and wear safety belts properly.

At Least Twice a Year
Restraint System Check
Make sure the safety belt reminder light and all your
belts, buckles, latch plates, retractors and anchorages are
working properly. If your vehicle has a built-in child
restraint, also periodically make sure the harness straps,
latch plates, buckle, clip, child head restraint and
anchorages are working properly.
Look for any other
loose or damaged safety belt and built-in child restraint
system
parts. If you see anything that might keep a
safety belt or built-in child restraint system from doing
its job, have it repaired. Have any torn or frayed safety
belts or harness straps replaced.
Also look for
any opened or broken air bag coverings,
and have them repaired or replaced. (The air bag system
does not need regular maintenance.)
Wiper Blade Check
Inspect wiper blades for wear or cracking. Replace blade
inserts that appear worn or damaged or that streak or
miss areas of the windshield. Also see “Wiper Blades,
Cleaning”
in the Index.
Automatic Transaxle Check
Check the transaxle fluid level; add if needed. See
“Automatic Transaxle” in the Index. A fluid loss may
indicate
a problem. Check the system and repair if needed.
At Least Once a Year
