symbol on the transmitter, making sure your shift lever
is in PARK (P).
Remote Trunk Release (Option)

Theft
Vehicle theft is big business, especially in some cities.
Although your vehicle has a number of theft
-deterrent
features, we know that nothing we put on it can make it
impossible to steal. However, there are ways you can help.
Key in the Ignition
If you leave your vehicle with the keys inside, it's an
easy target for joy riders or professional thieves
-- so
don't do it.
When you park your vehicle and open the driver's door,
you'll hear a chime reminding you to remove your key
from the ignition and take it with you. Always do this.
Your steering wheel will be locked, and so will your
ignition and transaxle. And remember to lock the doors.
Parking at Night
Park in a lighted spot, close all windows and lock your
vehicle. Remember to keep your valuables out of sight.
Put them in a storage area, or take them with you.

2-11 Parking Lots
If you park in a lot where someone will be watching
your vehicle, it's best to lock it up and take your keys.
But what if you have to leave your ignition key?

If possible, park in a busy, well lit area.

Put your valuables in a storage area, like your
trunk or glove box. Be sure to close and lock the
storage area.

Close all windows.

Lock the glove box.

Lock all the doors except the driver's.

Then take the door key and remote keyless entry
transmitter with you.
PASS-Key II
Your vehicle is equipped
with the PASS
-Key II
(Personalized Automotive
Security System)
theft
-deterrent system.
PASS
-Key II is a passive
theft
-deterrent system.
It works when you insert
or remove the key from
the ignition.
PASS
-Key II uses a resistor pellet in the ignition key
that matches a decoder in your vehicle.
When the PASS
-Key II 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.

With the ignition key in the ignition switch, you can turn
the switch to five positions.
ACC (A): The accessory position lets you use things
like the radio and windshield wipers when the engine is
off. To use ACC, push in the key and turn it toward you.
Your steering wheel will stay locked.
LOCK (B): Before you put the key into the ignition
switch, the switch is in LOCK. It's also the only position
in which you can remove your key. This position locks
your ignition, steering wheel and transaxle. It's a
theft
-deterrent feature.OFF (C): This position lets you turn off the engine but
still turn the steering wheel. It doesn't lock the steering
wheel. Use OFF if you must have your vehicle pushed
or towed.
RUN (D): This position is where the key returns after you
start your vehicle. With the engine off, you can use RUN
to display some of your warning and indicator lights.
START (E): This position starts your engine.
A warning chime will sound if you open the driver's
door when the ignition is in OFF, LOCK or ACC and
the key is in the ignition.
NOTICE:
If your key seems stuck in LOCK and you can't
turn it, be sure you are using the correct key; if
so, is it all the way in? If it is, then turn the
steering wheel left and right while you turn the
key hard. But turn the key only with your hand.
Using a tool to force it could break the key or the
ignition switch. If none of this works, then your
vehicle needs service.

When the DRL are on, only your reduced intensity
high
-beam headlamps will be on. The taillamps,
sidemarker and other lamps won't be on. Your
instrument panel won't be lit up either.
When it's dark enough outside, your DRL will turn off
and your low
-beam headlamps will illuminate. The
other lamps that come on with your headlamps will also
come on.
When it's bright enough outside, the low
-beam
headlamps will go out, and DRL illuminates your
high
-beam headlamps at reduced intensity.
To idle your vehicle with the DRL off, set the parking
brake while the ignition is in OFF or LOCK. Then start
your vehicle. The DRL will stay off until you release the
parking brake.
As with any vehicle, you should turn on the regular
headlamp system when you need it.
Interior Lamps
Instrument Panel Brightness Control
You can brighten or dim the instrument panel lamps by
moving the dial (A), located next to the exterior lamps
controls. If you turn the dial all the way up, your
courtesy or interior lamps will come on.
Courtesy Lamps
When any door is opened, several lamps will come on.
These lamps are courtesy lamps. They make it easy for
you to enter and leave your vehicle. You can also turn
these lamps on by moving the dial near the headlamp
knob all the way up.
Some of the lamps have switches so you can turn them
on even when the doors are closed. These lamps are
reading lamps. To avoid draining your battery, be sure to
turn off all the reading lamps when leaving your vehicle.
Sustained Interior Illumination
Your courtesy lamps will come on and stay on for a set
time whenever you:

Open a door.

Press UNLOCK on the remote keyless entry
transmitter (if equipped).

Press LOCK on the remote keyless entry transmitter
(if equipped).

Press the trunk symbol on the remote keyless entry
transmitter (if equipped).

If you open a door, the lamps will stay on while it's open
and then turn off automatically about 18 seconds after
you close it. If you don't open a door, the lamps will
turn off after about 18 seconds, unless you press
UNLOCK or the trunk symbol on the remote keyless
entry transmitter. If you press UNLOCK or the trunk
symbol and don't open a door, the lamps will turn off
after about 55 seconds. If you press LOCK on the
remote keyless entry transmitter the lamps will turn off
about 17 seconds after all the doors are closed.
Sustained Interior Illumination includes a feature called
Theater Dimming. With Theater Dimming, the lamps
don't just turn off at the end of the delay time. Instead,
they slowly dim during the delay time until they go out.
The delay time is canceled if you turn the ignition key to
RUN or START, so the lamps will go out right away.
When the ignition is on, Sustained Interior Illumination
is inactive, which means the courtesy lamps won't
come on.Rearview Mirror Reading Lamps
These lamps go on when you open the doors. When
the doors are closed, turn the lamps on and off with
the switches.

yellowblue
2-39 Battery Saver
Your vehicle has a feature to help prevent you from
draining the battery, in case you accidentally leave the
courtesy lamps on. If you leave the dial turned all the
way up, or if you leave a door open, the lamps will
automatically turn off after 10 minutes if the ignition
is off.
This feature will not turn off the reading lamps, only
the lamps controlled by the dial. Be sure to turn off
any reading lamps using the switch before you leave
the vehicle.
Mirrors
Adjust all the mirrors so you can see clearly when you
are sitting in a comfortable driving position.

the direction you want to
move the mirror.

2-40 Convex Outside Mirror
Your passenger's side mirror is convex. A convex
mirror's surface is curved so you can see more from the
driver's seat.
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.

The center front ashtray may be on the instrument panel
or on the console. To remove the instrument panel
ashtray, open it, push down on the locking tab and pull
out the ashtray.
Your vehicle may be equipped with a rear ashtray. It is
located within a small door at the rear of your console.

ashtray by pushing on the door's right side. To remove
the ashtray, push down on the snuffer located in the

other smoking materials could set them on fire,
causing damage.
To use the lighter, just push it in all the way and let go.
When it's ready, it will pop back by itself.
NOTICE:
Don't hold a cigarette lighter in with your hand
while it is heating. If you do, it won't be able to
back away from the heating element when it's
ready. That can make it overheat, damaging the
lighter and the heating element.

can also move them from side to side.
Visor Vanity Mirrors
Open the cover to expose the vanity mirror. For the
driver's mirror, slide the cover to the side. For the
