2-11 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 transmission. Also 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.
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? What if
you have to leave something valuable in your vehicle?

Put your valuables in a storage area, like your
glove box.

Lock all the doors except the driver's.
Content Theft-Deterrent
Your vehicle is equipped with a Content Theft-Deterrent
alarm system.
With this system, the
SECURITY light will flash
as you open the door (if
your ignition is off).
This light reminds you to activate the theft
-deterrent
system. Here's how to do it:
1. Open the door.
2. Lock the door with the power door lock switch or the
remote keyless entry transmitter. The SECURITY
light should come on and stay on.
3. Close all doors. The SECURITY light should go off
after approximately 30 seconds. The alarm is not
armed until the SECURITY light goes off.
If a door is opened without the key or the remote keyless
entry transmitter, the alarm will go off. Your vehicle's
high
-beam headlamps will flash and the horn will sound
for 110 seconds, then will turn off to save the
battery power.

2-43 Exit Lighting
With exit lighting, the interior lamps will come on when
you remove the key from the ignition. If the DOME
OVERRIDE button is in the ªoutº position, these lights
will stay on for a short period of time and then will
go out.
Front Reading Lamps
Press the button near each lamp on the overhead console
to turn the reading lamps on and off. The lamps can be
swiveled to point in the desired direction.
If you have the mini console, press the lens on each
lamp to turn it on or off.
Dome Lamps
The dome lamps will come on when you open the doors.
You can also turn the dome lamps on by rotating the
thumbwheel, located next to the parking/headlamps
knob, all the way up. In this position, the dome lamps
will remain on whether the doors are opened or closed.You can use the DOME OVERRIDE button, located
below the parking/headlamp knob, to set the dome
lamps to come on automatically when the doors are
opened, or to remain off. To turn the lamps off, press the
button once into the ªinº position. With the button in
this position, the dome lamps will remain off when the
doors are open. To return the lamps to automatic
operation, press the button again and return it to the
ªoutº position. With the button in this position, the dome
lamps will come on when you open the door. This will
override the illuminated entry feature, unless you use
your keyless entry transmitter to unlock the vehicle.
Battery Run-Down Protection
This feature shuts off the dome, courtesy, vanity,
reading, glove box and underhood lamps if they are left
on for more than 20 minutes when the ignition is off.
This will keep your battery from running down.
If the battery run
-down protection shuts off the interior
lamps, it may be necessary to do one of the following to
return to normal operation:

Shut off all lamps and close all doors, or

Turn the ignition key to RUN.

2-46 Power Folding Mirrors
Your vehicle is equipped with power folding mirrors.
This feature can be helpful when taking your vehicle
through a car wash or through narrow spaces.
To fold the mirrors in, press the blank side of the switch
located on the driver's side door panel near the window.
To have the mirrors return to their normal position, press
the side of the switch with the graphic on it. The switch
will stay in whichever position it is placed.
If at any time your mirrors become disengaged, fold the
mirrors out manually and then use the switch to fold the
mirrors in and out. This will assure that the power fold
unit in your mirrors is properly engaged.

working properly. Look for any other loose or damaged
safety belt system parts. If you see anything that might

and have them repaired or replaced. (The air bag system

the Index.)Automatic Transmission Check
Check the transmission fluid level; add if needed. See
