Hatch
CAUTION:
It can be dangerous to drive with the hatch open
because carbon monoxide (CO) gas can come into
your vehicle. You can't see or smell CO. It can
cause unconsciousness and even death.
If you must drive with the hatch open or if
electrical wiring or other cable connections
must pass through the seal between the body and
the hatch:
Make sure all other windows are shut.
Turn the fan on your heating or cooling
system to its highest speed with the setting
on VENT. That will force outside air into
your vehicle. See ªComfort Controlsº in
the Index.
If you have air outlets on or under the
instrument panel, open them all the way.
See ªEngine Exhaustº in the Index.
Hatch Release
Your door key opens the hatch from the outside. If your
vehicle has the Content Theft
-Deterrent/Alarm System
and the system is armed, opening the hatch this way will
trigger the alarm. First disarm the system or use the
remote keyless entry transmitter to open the hatch.
Remote Hatch Release (If Equipped)
Press the button under the
lamp control on the driver's
side below the instrument
panel to unlock the hatch
from inside your vehicle.
If you have an automatic transmission, your shift lever
must be in PARK (P) or NEUTRAL (N) to use the
remote hatch release. If you have a manual transmission
and the ignition is in RUN, you must set the parking
brake before you can use the remote hatch release.

2-43 Power Windows (If Equipped)
Switches on the driver's door control each window
when the ignition is on or when RAP is present. (See
ªRetained Accessory Powerº in the Index.)You can open the passenger's window any amount by
pressing the switch and releasing it when the window
has lowered to the position you want.
The switch for the driver's window has an express
-down
feature. This switch is labeled AUTO. Quickly press and
release the bottom of the switch for the driver's window
and the window will lower completely. You can also
open the driver's window any amount by pressing the
switch again while the window is in the express
-down
mode when it has lowered to the position you want.
To stop the window while it is lowering, press the front
of the switch. To raise the window, press and hold the
front of the switch.
Horn
To sound the horn, press either horn symbol on your
steering wheel.
If your horn sounds two or three chirps when unlocking
your vehicle with the remote keyless entry transmitter
(if equipped), the alarm was triggered while you were
away. Check the vehicle before entering.

Interior Lamps
Instrument Panel Brightness Control
The thumbwheel controls the brightness of your
instrument panel lights. Move the thumbwheel to
brighten or dim the lights. If you move the thumbwheel
all the way up, your courtesy lamps will come on.
Courtesy Lamps
When either door is opened, several interior lamps go
on. These lamps are courtesy lamps. They make it easier
for you to enter and leave your vehicle.
Courtesy lamps include two map lamps on the inside
rearview mirror and other lamps throughout the interior
of your vehicle.
To prevent battery rundown, your interior lamps will be
disabled about 10 minutes after the ignition is turned to
OFF. The 10
-minute timer will be restarted if you do
any of the following:
Turn the ignition on.
Open either door.
Press any button on your remote keyless entry
transmitter (if equipped).
Turn the interior lamp switch from off to on.
Open the hatch.
