To Open a Rear Door With the Security Lock
1. Unlock the door from the inside.
2. Then open the door from the outside.
If you don't cancel the security lock feature, adults or
older children who ride in the rear won't be able to open
the rear door from the inside. You should let adults and
older children know how to cancel the locks.
To Cancel the Rear Door Lock
1. Unlock the door from the inside and open the door
from the outside.
2. Use a key to move the lock all the way down.
3. Do the same for the other rear door.
The rear door lock will now work normally.
Lockout Prevention (If Equipped)
If your vehicle is equipped with remote keyless entry,
you have lockout protection. This feature stops the
power door locks from locking when the keys are in
the ignition and the door is open.
If the power door lock switch is pressed when a door
is open and the key is in the ignition, all the doors will
lock and the driver's door will unlock.
Leaving Your Vehicle
If you are leaving the vehicle, open your door and
set the locks from the inside. Then get out and close
the door.
Remote Keyless Entry (If Equipped)
If your vehicle has this feature, you can lock and unlock
your doors or unlock your trunk from about 3 feet (1 m)
up to 30 feet (9 m) away using the remote keyless entry
transmitter supplied with your vehicle.
In addition, the system illuminates the interior lamps
for a set period of time. Also, a content theft security
system can be activated to monitor and set a horn alarm
if the vehicle's door or trunk is opened without first
unlocking the door or trunk with the remote keyless
entry transmitter.
The remote keyless entry system consists of a
receiver, which is located in the vehicle, and two hand
held transmitters.
Your keyless entry system operates on a radio frequency
subject to Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
Rules and with Industry Canada.

2-10 Operation
The following
functions are available
with the remote
keyless entry system:
LOCK: All doors will automatically lock when the
LOCK button is pressed. In addition, if all doors and
the trunk are closed, the headlamps will flash once, the
interior lamps will turn off, and the vehicle content theft
security system will arm. See ªContent Theft Security
Systemº later in the section.UNLOCK: The driver's door will unlock when the
UNLOCK button on the transmitter is pressed. In
addition, the headlamps will flash twice, the interior
lamps will turn on for about 20 seconds or until the
ignition is turned on, and the content theft security
system will disarm. See ªContent Theft Security
Systemº later in the section. If you press UNLOCK
again within five seconds, all remaining doors
will unlock.
Trunk Release: The trunk will unlock anytime
when the vehicle symbol on the transmitter is pressed
and the vehicle speed is less that 2 mph (3 km/h).
The headlamps will flash twice.
Horn Symbol: The horn will sound and the
headlamps and interior lamps will flash alternately when
this button is pressed. This can be turned off by pressing
the horn symbol button again or by turning the ignition
to ON. The alarm will sound for two minutes unless
cancelled by the driver.
Your dealer can change the settings to disable the
headlamp flash and horn chirp features. Your dealer can
also change the settings to allow the horn to chirp twice
on the first press of the UNLOCK button. See your
dealer for more information.

2-16
Content Theft Security System
(If Equipped)
Arming the System
With the ignition off, pressing the transmitter LOCK
button will arm the system immediately after all doors
and trunk are closed. If the transmitter LOCK button
is pressed again within five seconds, the horn will chirp
to confirm that the system had been armed.
Once the system is armed, the THEFT SYSTEM light
on your instrument panel will flash and remain flashing.
This confirms the system is armed and monitoring the
doors and trunk.
If you don't want to arm the system, lock the car
with the lock levers on the doors or with the door
lock switch.
Disarming the System
If the system is armed, pressing the UNLOCK button
on the transmitter will disarm the system. The THEFT
SYSTEM light will stop flashing.
If the system is armed, turning the key to START will
also disarm the system.If the system is armed and the trunk is opened using
the TRUNK button on the transmitter, the system will
temporarily disarm itself and rearm when the trunk has
been closed. This allows the customer to exit the
vehicle, lock the doors using the transmitter, and open
the trunk using the transmitter without having to disarm
and subsequently rearm the system.
How the System Alarm is Activated
If the system is armed, opening any door or trunk, or
using a wrong key to start the vehicle will cause a
pre
-alarm chirp for 10 seconds and then a full alarm of
horn and headlights for two minutes.
If an alarm event has finished and all doors and trunk are
closed, the content theft security system will re
-arm itself.
How to Turn Off the System Alarm
If the system alarm is active, it can be deactivated by:

Pressing the transmitter LOCK or PANIC button
to turn
-off alarm. The system will also rearm if all
doors and trunk are later closed, or

pressing the transmitter UNLOCK or TRUNK
button to turn
-off alarm and disarm system, or

putting the key in the ignition and turning it to
START to turn
-off alarm and disarm the system.

2-17 How to Detect a Tamper Condition
If you hear three horn chirps when you press the
UNLOCK, TRUNK or LOCK buttons on your
transmitter, that means the Content Theft Security
system alarm was triggered while you were away.
Your dealer can change the settings to disable the
headlamp flash and horn chirp features. Your dealer can
also change the settings to allow the horn to chirp twice
on the first press of the UNLOCK button. See your
dealer for more information.
Passlock

Your vehicle is equipped with the Passlock
theft
-deterrent system.
Passlock is a passive theft
-deterrent system. Passlock
enables fuel if the ignition lock cylinder is turned with a
valid key. If a correct key is not used or the ignition lock
cylinder is tampered with, fuel is disabled.During normal operation, the THEFT SYSTEM light
will go off approximately five seconds after the key is
turned to the RUN ignition position following an
engine start.
If the engine stalls and the THEFT SYSTEM light
flashes, wait until the light stops flashing before trying
to restart the engine. Remember to release the key from
START as soon as the engine starts.
If the engine is running and the THEFT SYSTEM light
comes on, you will be able to restart the engine if you
turn the engine off. However, your Passlock system is
not working properly and must be serviced by your
dealer. Your vehicle is not protected by Passlock at this
time. You may also want to check the fuses (See ªFuses
and Circuit Breakersº in the Index). See your dealer for
service. Also, see ªRoadside Assistanceº in the Index
for more information.

2-36
Running Your Engine While You're
Parked (Automatic Transaxle)
It's better not to park with the engine running. But if you
ever have to, here are some things to know.
CAUTION:
Idling the engine with the climate control
system off could allow dangerous exhaust into
your vehicle. See the earlier Caution under
ªEngine Exhaust.º
Also, idling in a closed-in place can let deadly
carbon monoxide (CO) into your vehicle even if
the fan switch is at the highest setting. One place
this can happen is a garage. Exhaust
-- with
CO
-- can come in easily. NEVER park in a
garage with the engine running.
Another closed-in place can be a blizzard.
See ªBlizzardº in the Index.
CAUTION:
It can be dangerous to get out of your vehicle if
the shift lever is not fully in PARK (P) with the
parking brake firmly set. Your vehicle can roll.
Don't leave your vehicle when the engine is
running unless you have to. If you've left the
engine running, the vehicle can move suddenly.
You or others could be injured. To be sure your
vehicle won't move, even when you're on fairly
level ground, always set your parking brake and
move the shift lever to PARK (P).
Follow the proper steps to be sure your vehicle won't
move. See ªShifting Into PARK (P)º in the Index.
If you are parking on a hill and if you're pulling a
trailer, also see ªTowing a Trailerº in the Index.
Horn
You can sound the horn by pressing the center of your
steering wheel near the horn symbols.

4-30
Run your engine only as long as you must. This saves
fuel. When you run the engine, make it go a little faster
than just idle. That is, push the accelerator slightly. This
uses less fuel for the heat that you get and it keeps the
battery charged. You will need a well
-charged battery to
restart the vehicle, and possibly for signaling later on
with your headlamps. Let the heater run for a while.
Then, shut the engine off and close the window almost
all the way to preserve the heat. Start the engine again
and repeat this only when you feel really uncomfortable
from the cold. But do it as little as possible. Preserve the
fuel as long as you can. To help keep warm, you can get
out of the vehicle and do some fairly vigorous exercises
every half hour or so until help comes.
Recreational Vehicle Towing
You can tow your vehicle behind another vehicle for use
at your destination. Be sure to use the proper towing
equipment designed for recreational towing. Follow the
instructions for towing equipment.
If your vehicle is equipped with a remote keyless entry
system, it also has the content theft feature. If the
vehicle is towed as recommended, with the ignition in
OFF, or if necessary, with the ignition off and the key
out, it may be necessary to do one of the following:

Prior to towing do not lock your car doors with the
remote keyless entry transmitter. Do not enable the
content theft feature.

Remove the BCM/CLU fuse in the instrument panel
fuse block. This is located under the driver's side
instrument panel cover. After towing, remember to
reinstall the fuse to restore normal vehicle operation.
If the vehicle is towed at a large angle, or if the vehicle
experiences significant braking forces, the trunk ªopenº
sensor may be actuated, enabling content theft and
sounding the horn (while in tow).
