Shifting Out of PARK (P)
CAUTION:
Before shifting out of PARK (P) you must fully
apply your regular brakes. Your vehicle can roll.
If you have left the engine running, the vehicle
can move suddenly. You or others could be
injured. If you're pulling a trailer, see ªTowing a
Trailerº in the Index.
Your vehicle has a Brake-Transaxle Shift Interlock
(BTSI). You have to fully apply your regular brakes
before you can shift from PARK (P) when the ignition is
in ON. See ªAutomatic Transaxleº in the Index.If you cannot shift out of PARK (P), ease pressure on
the shift lever. Push the shift lever all the way into
PARK (P) as you maintain brake application. Then
move the shift lever into the gear you want. If you ever
hold the brake pedal down but still can't shift out of
PARK (P), try this:
1. Turn the ignition key to ACC. Open and close the
driver's door to turn off the Retained Accessory
Power (RAP) feature.
2. Apply and hold the brake until the end of Step 4.

With the control at AUTO and the front door opened,
the overhead console light, front hush panel lamps and
rear footwell lamps in the door will automatically come
on. When the rear door is opened, all the front door
lighting and rear overhead lamps will come on.
When the control is at ON, the courtesy lamps are
turned on. At OFF, the lamps are turned off. (All
automatic interior lighting functions are terminated.)
When the interior lamp control is at OFF, only the
driver's door controls and ignition switch backlighting
functions will operate.
Illuminated Entry
The illuminated entry system turns on the courtesy
lamps and the backlighting to the driver's door switches
and to the ignition key when a door is opened or if you
press the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter
unlock button. The illuminated entry system works with
the light sensor and it must be dark outside in order for
the courtesy lamps or backlighting to turn on. The
courtesy lamps turn off approximately 25 seconds after
the last door is closed or after the ignition key is turned
to RUN or if the RKE transmitter lock button is pressed.
The courtesy lamps turn off approximately 40 seconds
after the doors are unlocked with the RKE transmitter if
no door is opened.
Parade Dimming
This feature prohibits the dimming of the instrument
panel lights during daylight while the parking lamps are
on. This feature works with the light sensor and is fully
automatic. When the light sensor reads darkness outside,
the instrument panel lights can be adjusted by following
the steps under ªInstrument Panel Intensity/Brightness
Control.º Backlighting to the instrument panel will also
turn on.
Reading Lamps
The reading lamps are located in the roof. These lamps
and the interior courtesy lamps come on when any door
is opened and it is dark outside. The rear lamps come on
when a rear door is opened. Press the button near the
lamps to turn them on and off.
If the reading lamps are left on, they automatically shut
off 10 minutes after the ignition has been turned off.

CAUTION:
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.
Curb View Assist Mirror (If Equipped)
If your vehicle is equipped with memory mirrors, it will
also be equipped with the curb view assist mirror
feature. This feature will cause the passenger's mirror to
tilt when the vehicle is in REVERSE (R). This feature is
especially useful in allowing you to view the curb when
you are parallel parking. If further adjustment is needed
after the mirror is tilted, the power mirror controls may
be used to adjust the mirror. If the mirror control is
pressed while the passenger's mirror is tilted, the mirror
will move in that direction, but will return to its original
position once the vehicle is shifted out of REVERSE (R)
and a five
-second delay has occurred.
To program the feature, see ªCurb View Assist Mirror
Programmingº in the Index.

well as on the passenger's and driver's front seatbacks.

Be sure to keep the original hand-held transmitter
in case you need to erase and reprogram the
Universal Transmitter.
Note to Canadian Owners: During programming, the
hand
-held transmitter may automatically stop
transmitting after one or two seconds. In this case, you
should press and re
-press the button on the hand-held
transmitter every two seconds without ever releasing the
button on the Universal Transmitter. Release both
buttons when the indicator light on the Universal
Transmitter begins to flash rapidly.
Operating the Universal Transmitter
Press and release the appropriate button on the Universal
Transmitter. The indicator light comes on while the
signal is being transmitted.
The Universal Transmitter is disabled when the valet
lock switch inside the glove box is activated. For more
information, see ªValet Lockº in the Index.
If the hand
-held transmitter appears to program the
Universal Transmitter but does not open your garage
door, and if the garage door opener was manufactured
after 1996, the garage door opener may have a ªrolling
codeº system. A rolling code system changes the code
of the garage door opener every time you open or close
the garage door.To determine if you have this system, press the button
on the Universal Transmitter that you have programmed
already. If the indicator light on the Universal
Transmitter flashes rapidly for two seconds and then
turns solid, the garage door opener has a rolling code
system. In a rolling code system, the garage door motor
head unit must be trained to the Universal Transmitter.
ªRolling Codeº Programming (If Equipped)
If you have not previously programmed the hand-held
transmitter to the Universal Transmitter, see
ªProgramming the Universal Transmitterº listed
previously. If you have completed this programming
already, you now need to train the garage door opener
motor head unit to recognize the Universal Transmitter.
Refer to your garage door opener owner's manual for
the proper transmitter training procedure for your garage
door opener brand.
1. Find the training button on the garage door opener
motor head unit. The exact location and color of the
button may vary by garage door opener brand. If you
have difficulty finding the training button, refer to
your garage door opener owner's manual.
