NOTICE:
If you damage the covering for the driver's or
the right front passenger's air bag, or the
air bag covering on the driver's and right front
passenger's seatback, the bag may not work
properly. You may have to replace the air bag
module in the steering wheel, both the air bag
module and the instrument panel for the right
front passenger's air bag, or both the air bag
module and seatback for the driver's and right
front passenger's side impact air bag. Do not

Servicing Your Air Bag-Equipped Vehicle
Air bags affect how your vehicle should be serviced.
There are parts of the air bag systems in several places
around your vehicle. Your dealer and the service manual
have information about servicing your vehicle and the
air bag systems. To purchase a service manual, see
ªService and Owner Publicationsº in the Index.
CAUTION:
For up to 10 seconds after the ignition key is
turned off and the battery is disconnected, an
air bag can still inflate during improper service.
You can be injured if you are close to an air bag
when it inflates. Avoid yellow connectors. They
are probably part of the air bag systems. Be sure
to follow proper service procedures, and make
sure the person performing work for you is
qualified to do so.
The air bag systems do not need regular maintenance.

key is dangerous for many reasons. A child or
others could be badly injured or even killed.
They could operate the power windows or other
controls or even make the vehicle move. If they
turned the ignition to ACC or ON and moved the
shift lever out of PARK (P), that would release
the parking brake. Don't leave the keys in a
vehicle with children.

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.

2-5 Central Door Unlocking 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 key twice in the

The power door lock switch
is located on each front
door. Press the top of the
switch to unlock all of the

Close your doors and turn on the ignition. If all of the
doors are closed, every time you move the shift lever out
of PARK (P), all of 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 door locks. When the
door is closed again, it will not lock automatically. Use
the manual or power door locks to lock the door again.
If you need to lock the doors before shifting out of
PARK (P), use the manual or power door locks.
Programmable Automatic Door Locks
With the vehicle in PARK (P) and 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
and unlock settings. For programming information, see
ªVehicle Programming and Personalization Featuresº
in the Index.
