Master Key Valet Key
There is a master key that works in all of the lock
cylinders (driver's door, trunk, ignition and glove box).
There is also a valet key which only operates the
driver's door and the ignition.Both the master and valet keys have a transponder
embedded into the key for security and theft deterrence.
The keys also come with a bar code tag. Keep the bar
code tag in a safe place. If you lose your key you will be
able to have a new one made using the bar code tag. The
replacement key must have a transponder embedded in it.
NOTICE:
Your vehicle has a number of new features that
can help prevent theft. You can have a lot of
trouble getting into your vehicle if you ever lock
your key inside and you may have to damage your
vehicle to get in. Be sure you have an extra key.

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.
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.

Move the trunk release lockout switch to ON.

Lock the glove box.

Lock all the doors except the driver's.

Then take the door key and remote keyless entry
transmitter with you.

Lock all doors except the driver's.

Give the valet key to the valet. Then take the master
key with you.

2-15 Testing the Alarm
1. From inside the vehicle, roll down the window,
then get out of the vehicle, keeping the door open.
2. From outside of the vehicle, with the door open,
lock the vehicle using the power door lock or the
RKE system and close the door. Wait 30 seconds
until the SECURITY lamp goes off.
3. Reach in and unlock the door using the manual lock
and open the door. The horn will sound and the
hazard lights will flash.
You can turn off the alarm by unlocking the driver's
door with your key, using the unlock button on the
RKE transmitter or by starting the car with a valid key.
If the alarm does not sound when it should, check to
see if the horn works. The horn fuse may be blown.
To replace the fuse, see ªFuses and Circuit Breakersº
in the Index. If the fuse does not need to be replaced,
you may need to have your vehicle serviced.
To reduce the possibility of theft, always arm the
theft
-deterrent system when leaving your vehicle.
Valet Lock
This switch is located inside the glove box on the left
side. Pressing this switch to ON will disable the use of
the trunk, fuel door and garage door opener.
Pressing this switch to
OFF will enable these
features for use.
Locking the glove box with your key will also help to
secure your vehicle. Note that the RKE transmitter can't
open the trunk or fuel door if the valet lock switch is in
the ON position.

2-50
If the battery continues to discharge, even with the
engine idling at a higher rpm setting, some electrical
loads will automatically be reduced. When this occurs,
the rear window defogger may take slightly longer to
clear the glass, the heated seats may not get as warm
as they usually do and the fan blower may cut back
to a lower speed. For more battery saving information,
see ªBattery Saver Active Messageº in the Index.
Inadvertent Power Battery Saver
This feature is designed to protect your vehicle's
battery against drainage from the interior lamps,
trunk lamp, glove box lamp, cigarette lighters or the
garage door opener. When the ignition is turned off,
the power to these features will automatically turn
off after 10 minutes. Power will be restored for an
additional 10 minutes if any door is opened, the trunk
is opened or the courtesy lamp switch is turned on.
Mirrors
Electrochromic Day/Night Rearview Mirror
with Compass
Your vehicle has an electrochromic inside rearview
mirror with a compass.
By pressing the MIRROR side of the button located
at the bottom of the mirror, the mirror automatically
changes to reduce glare from headlamps behind you.

2-54 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.
This mirror does not have a dimming feature.
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.
Curb View Assist Mirror (If Equipped)
If your vehicle is equipped with memory mirrors,
it will also be equipped with the curb view assist mirror
feature. This feature will cause the passenger's mirror to
tilt when the vehicle is in REVERSE (R). This feature is
especially useful in allowing you to view the curb whenyou are parallel parking. If further adjustment is needed
after the mirror is tilted, the power mirror controls may
be used to adjust the mirror. If the mirror control is
pressed while the passenger's mirror is tilted, the mirror
will move in that direction, but will return to its original
position once the vehicle is shifted out of REVERSE (R)
and a five
-second delay has occurred.
To program the feature, see ªMirror to Curb in Reverseº
in the Index.
Storage Compartments
Glove Box
The glove box is located in front of the passenger's seat.
To lock the glove box door, insert the master key into
the lock cylinder and turn it clockwise. Turn the key
counterclockwise to unlock the door.
Map Pocket
The map/storage pockets are located on each front door
as well as on the passenger's and driver's front seatbacks.

2-62 Operating the HomeLink Transmitter
Press and release the appropriate button on the
HomeLink Transmitter. The indicator light comes
on while the signal is being transmitted.
The HomeLink Transmitter is disabled when the valet
lock switch inside the glove box is activated. For more
information, see ªValet Lockº in the Index.
If the hand
-held transmitter appears to program the
HomeLink Transmitter but does not open your garage
door, and if the garage door opener was manufactured
after 1996, the garage door opener may have a ªrolling
codeº system. A rolling code system changes the code
of the garage door opener every time you open or close
the garage door.
To determine if you have this system, press the
button on the HomeLink Transmitter that you have
programmed already. If the indicator light on the
HomeLink Transmitter flashes rapidly for two seconds
and then turns solid, the garage door opener has a
rolling code system. In a rolling code system, the
garage door motor head unit must be trained to the
HomeLink Transmitter.
ªRolling Codeº Programming (If Equipped)
If you have not previously programmed the hand-held
transmitter to the HomeLink Transmitter, see
ªProgramming the HomeLink Transmitterº listed
previously. If you have completed this programming
already, you now need to train the garage door opener
motor head unit to recognize the HomeLink Transmitter.
Refer to your garage door opener owner's manual for
the proper transmitter training procedure for your garage
door opener brand.
1. Find the training button on the garage door opener
motor head unit. The exact location and color of the
button may vary by garage door opener brand.
If you have difficulty finding the training button,
refer to your garage door opener owner's manual.
2. Press the training button on the garage door
opener motor head unit.
Following this step, you have 30 seconds to
start Step 3.
