Central Door Unlocking System
Your vehicle has a central door unlocking mode and a
theft
-deterrent system. When unlocking the driver's
door, you can unlock the other doors by holding the key
in the turned position for a few seconds or by quickly
turning the door key twice in the lock cylinder.
Power Door Locks
Press the power door lock
button to lock or unlock all
the doors at once. The
power door lock buttons
located on the rear doors
can lock all the doors at
once, but cannot unlock
the doors.
Automatic Door Locks
Your vehicle is equipped with a default mode, so that
every time your doors are closed, the ignition is on and
you move the shift lever out of PARK (P), all the doors
will lock. The doors will unlock every time you stop the
vehicle and move the shift lever back into PARK (P).
If someone needs to get out while your vehicle is not in
PARK (P), have that person use the manual or power
lock. When the door is closed again, it will not lock
automatically. Use the manual or power lock to lock the
door again. If you need to lock the doors before shifting
out of PARK (P), use the manual or power lock button
to lock the doors.
Programmable Automatic Door Locks
With the ignition in ON, the door locks can be
programmed through prompts displayed by the Driver
Information Center (DIC). These prompts allow the
driver to choose various lock settings. For programming
information, see ªMemory and Personalization
Featuresº in the Index.

SECOND (2): This position gives you more power. You
can use SECOND (2) on hills. It can help control your
speed as you go down steep mountain roads, but then
you would also want to use your brakes off and on.
NOTICE:
Don't shift into SECOND (2) unless you are going
slower than 65 mph (105 km/h), or you can
damage your engine.
FIRST (1): This position gives you even more power
than SECOND (2). You can use it on very steep hills,
or in deep snow or mud. (If the shift lever is put in
FIRST (1), the transaxle won't shift into gear until the
vehicle is going slowly enough.)
NOTICE:
If your front wheels can't rotate, don't try to
drive. This might happen if you were stuck in
very deep sand or mud or were up against a solid
object. You could damage your transaxle.
Also, if you stop when going uphill, don't hold
your vehicle there with only the accelerator
pedal. This could cause overheating and damage
the transaxle. Use your brakes to hold your
vehicle in position on a hill.
Performance Shifting (DTS Only)
When your vehicle detects a change in driving
conditions, it will automatically initiate the appropriate
performance shift mode. When this occurs the gear
display on the instrument panel cluster will change to
indicate that the transmission has shifted to a different
gear. For example, the gear display on the cluster may
indicate D, 3, 2, or 1 even though the gearshift is still in
DRIVE (D). Once the performance shift mode ends, the
gear display on the cluster will return to normal.

Express-Down Window
All power windows have this feature. Pressing the control
rearward to the second position then releasing it, will
lower a window completely. If you want to stop the
window as it is lowering, press the control forward briefly.
Press the control forward again to raise the window.
The first rearward position on the power window
control operates the driver's power window in the
non
-express mode.
Rear Window Lockout
Pressing this button down will disable the rear window
controls and cause the button to light, indicating that the
feature is in use. To restore power to the rear windows,
press the button again.
Horn
The horn can be sounded by pressing on the center of
the steering wheel pad.
Tilt Wheel and Telescopic Column
Tilt steering allows you to
adjust the steering wheel
before you drive. Raising
the steering wheel to the
highest level gives your legs
more room when you enter
and exit the vehicle.
This knob is located on the outboard side of the steering
column. Push up or down on the knob to adjust the tilt
of steering wheel. Then, push back or pull forward on
the knob, to adjust the height of the steering column.
Release the knob to lock the wheel and column
into place.
It is also possible to move the steering column to a
different position by momentarily pressing the
adjustment knob.

Programming the HomeLink Transmitter
Do not use the HomeLink Transmitter with any garage
door opener that does not have the ªstop and reverseº
safety feature. This includes any garage door opener
model manufactured before April 1, 1982.
Be sure that people and objects are clear of the garage
door you are programming.
Your vehicle's engine should be turned off while
programming the transmitter. Follow these steps to
program up to three channels:1. If you have previously programmed a transmitter
channel, proceed to Step 2. Otherwise, hold down
the two outside buttons on the HomeLink
Transmitter until the indicator light begins to flash
rapidly (after 20 seconds). Then release the buttons.
This procedure initializes the memory and erases any
previous settings for all three channels.
2. Decide which one of the three channels you want to
program. Hold the end of the hand
-held transmitter
about 2 to 5 inches (5 to 13) away from the surface
of the HomeLink Transmitter so that you can still see
the indicator light.
3. Using both hands, press the hand
-held transmitter
button and the desired button on the HomeLink
Transmitter. Continue to press both buttons through
Step 4.
4. Hold down both buttons until you see the indicator
light on the HomeLink Transmitter flash slowly and
then rapidly. The rapid flashing indicates that the
HomeLink Transmitter has been programmed.
Release both buttons once the indicator light starts to
flash rapidly.

button to start the timing feature. Press the ON/OFF
button again to stop it. If you will be starting and
stopping your vehicle, during a trip for instance, the
TIMER feature will automatically start timing where it
left off when you last stopped. To reset it, press and hold
the INFO RESET button until the display reads TIMER
00:00:00. Press the INFO button to exit from the
TIMER Display.

With the automatic setting, the air conditioning
compressor automatically cycles when needed to cool
the air. In cold weather, when the system senses the need
for heat, the airflow will be directed out the floor
outlets. As the interior temperature approaches a desired
setting, the blower speed will decrease. To maintain
interior comfort, the airflow may move to the instrument
panel air outlets and floor outlets (bi
-level mode). On
bright sunny days in cold weather, the airflow may come
out of the air conditioning outlets (AC mode) to
maintain comfort and prevent stuffiness.
If your vehicle is sitting out on a hot day and you have it
set on AUTO, the air will first flow out the floor air
outlets for a few seconds. That is normal. This is to
expel hot air from the air outlets. As the air is cooled,
the airflow will move through the air conditioning
outlets. If you start your vehicle with the fan setting on
HI, it will skip the air conditioning purge.
To avoid blowing cold air in cold weather, the system
will delay turning on the fan until warm air is available.
The length of delay depends on the outside air
temperature, engine coolant temperature or the time
since the engine was last started. As the coolant warms
up, the blower fan speed will gradually increase and air
will flow from the heater outlets, with some airflow to
the windshield to prevent fogging under most normal
conditions.If you leave your vehicle, the system will remember the
control setting the next time you start your engine,
except for recirculation and defrost. Each ignition cycle
cancels recirculation, whereas, FRONT DEFROST will
change to auUse only household glass cleaner and a soft
cloth. Wipe gently and dry throughly.tomatic operation
when the ignition is shut off and then turned back on.
Manual Operation
You may manually adjust the air delivery mode or fan
speed.
AC: This setting directs airflow through the four
instrument panel outlets.
BI-LEVEL: This setting directs air into your
vehicle in two ways. Cool air is directed to the upper
portion of your body through the four instrument panel
outlets while warmed air is directed to the floor.
HEATER/DEFROST: This setting directs air to
the floor outlets and toward the windshield.
HEATER: This setting directs warmed air
through the floor outlets. Some warm air is diverted to
the windshield to minimize fogging.
