2-8 Rear Security Locks
Your vehicle is equipped
with rear door security
locks that help prevent
passengers from opening
the rear doors of your
vehicle from the inside.
To use one of these locks:
1. Open one of the rear doors.
2. On the inside of the rear door will be a lock. Insert
your master key into this lock and turn it upward.
This will engage the safety lock.
3. Close the door.
4. Do the same thing to the other rear door.
The rear doors of your vehicle cannot be opened from the
inside when this feature is in use. If you want to open the
rear door when the security lock is on, unlock the door
from the inside and then open the door from the outside.
Lockout Prevention
Lockout Prevention is a standard feature intended to
provide enhanced security and convenience. This feature
prevents a driver who has left the key in the ignition
from locking the doors using the power door lock switch
while any door is open.
To override this feature, when the key is in the ignition
and a door is open, hold the power door lock switch for
more than three seconds.
This feature cannot guarantee that you will never be
locked out of your vehicle. If you don't leave the key in
the ignition, or if you use the manual door lock, you
could still lock your keys inside your vehicle. Always
remember to take your keys with you.

Remote Activation Illumination to work. The interior
lamps will illuminate until the ignition is turned to ON
or until the illumination period of 40 seconds

timed illumination period will be cancelled, though the
interior lamps will remain on until all doors are closed.
Matching Transmitter(s) To Your Vehicle
Each remote keyless entry transmitter is coded to
prevent another transmitter from unlocking your vehicle.
If a transmitter is lost or stolen, a replacement can be
purchased through your dealer. Remember to bring any
remaining transmitters with you when you go to your
dealer. When the dealer matches the replacement
transmitter to your vehicle, any remaining transmitters
must also be matched. Once your dealer has coded the
new transmitter, the lost transmitter will not unlock your
vehicle. Each vehicle can have only four transmitters
matched to it.

Press the button on the left
side of the instrument panel
to unlock the trunk from
inside your vehicle.
Your vehicle must be
in PARK (P).
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 ignition and transaxle will be locked. 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.
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 remote keyless entry transmitter
with you.

ACC (B): This position lets you use things like the
radio and windshield wipers when the engine is off.
Your steering wheel will unlock. Use ACC if you must
have your vehicle pushed or towed. This position lets
you turn off the ignition.
ON (C): This position is where the key returns after you
start the vehicle. With the engine off, you can use ON to
display some of your warning and indicator lights.
START (D): This position starts your engine.
A warning chime will sound if you open the driver's
door when the ignition is in OFF, ACC or ON and the
key is in the ignition.
NOTICE:
If your key seems stuck in OFF and you can't
turn it, be sure you are using the correct key; if
so, is it all the way in? 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.
Starting Your Engine
Move your shift lever to PARK (P) or NEUTRAL (N).
Your engine won't start in any other position
-- that's a
safety feature. To restart when you're already moving,
use NEUTRAL (N) only.
NOTICE:
Don't try to shift to PARK (P) if your vehicle is
moving. If you do, you could damage the
transaxle. Shift to PARK (P) only when your
vehicle is stopped.
Starting Your 3.5L V6 Engine
1. Without pushing the accelerator pedal, turn your
ignition key to START. When the engine starts, let
go of the key. The idle speed will go down as your
engine gets warm.

A light will glow on the switch to let you know that they
are on. (Your parking lamps must be on, or your fog
lamps won't come on.) Press the switch again to turn the
fog lamps off.
The fog lamps will go off whenever you change to
high
-beam headlamps. When you return to low beams,
the fog lamps will come on again.
Interior Lamps
Instrument Panel Brightness Control
You can brighten or dim the
instrument panel lights by
turning the interior
lamps dial.
Turn the dial up to increase the brightness of the
instrument panel lights. Turn the dial down to decrease
the brightness.
Courtesy Lamps
When any door is opened, several lamps 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 turning the interior lamps dial all the
way up or by each individual lamp.
Illuminated Entry
Your courtesy lamps will come on and stay on for a set
time whenever you press UNLOCK on the remote
keyless entry transmitter (if equipped).
If you open a door, the lamps will stay on while it's open
then turn off automatically about 25 seconds after you
close it. If you press UNLOCK and don't open a door,
the lamps will turn off after about 40 seconds.
Illuminated entry 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 after the delay time until they go out. The delay
time is cancelled if you turn the ignition key to ON, so
the lamps will dim out right away. When the ignition is
on, illuminated entry is inactive, which means the
courtesy lamps won't come on unless a door is opened.
