1-43 Securing a Child Restraint in a Rear
Outside Seat Position
You'll be using the lap-shoulder belt. See the earlier part
about the top strap if the child restraint has one. Be sure
to follow the instructions that came with the child
restraint. Secure the child in the child restraint when and
as the instructions say.
1. Put the restraint on the seat.
2. Pick up the latch plate, and run the lap and shoulder
portions of the vehicle's safety belt through or
around the restraint. The child restraint instructions
will show you how.

If the shoulder belt goes in front of the child's face or
neck, put it behind the child restraint.

If the belt doesn't lock and you can pull the belt out
of the retractor again, it means your vehicle doesn't
have the child restraint locking feature on the
shoulder belt retractor.

If your vehicle has the child restraint locking
feature on the shoulder belt retractor, pull the rest
of the shoulder belt all the way out of the
retractor to set the lock.To tighten the belt, feed the shoulder belt back
into the retractor while you push down on the
child restraint. If you're using a forward
-facing
child restraint, you may find it helpful to use your
knee to push down on the child restraint as you
tighten the belt.

If your vehicle doesn't have the child restraint
locking feature on the shoulder belt retractor,
tighten the belt by pulling up on the shoulder belt
while you push down on the child restraint. If
you're using a forward

may find it helpful to use your knee to push down
on the child restraint as you tighten the belt.

directions to be sure it is secure.

1-48 Securing a Child Restraint in the Right
Front Seat Position
Your vehicle has a right front passenger air bag. Never
put a rear
-facing child restraint in this seat. Here's why:
CAUTION:
A child in a rear-facing child restraint can be
seriously injured or killed if the right front
passenger's air bag inflates. This is because the
back of the rear
-facing child restraint would be
very close to the inflating air bag. Always secure
a rear
-facing child restraint in the rear seat.
Although a rear seat is a safer place, you can secure a
forward
-facing child restraint in the right front seat.
You'll be using the lap
-shoulder belt. See the earlier part
about the top strap if the child restraint has one. Be sure
to follow the instructions that came with the child
restraint. Secure the child in the child restraint when and
as the instructions say.
1. Because your vehicle has a right front passenger air
bag, always move the seat as far back as it will go
before securing a forward
-facing child restraint.
See ªSeatsº in the Index.
2. Put the restraint on the seat.
3. Pick up the latch plate, and run the lap and shoulder
portions of the vehicle's safety belt through or
around the restraint. The child restraint instructions
will show you how.

the belt.

2-9 Programmable Automatic Door Locks
Programmable automatic door locks is a standard
feature intended to provide enhanced security and
convenience by automatically locking and unlocking
vehicle doors. The automatic locking and unlocking of
the vehicle will occur if the ignition key is in ON and
the driver's door is closed when the vehicle is shifted
out of PARK (P).
Programmable Modes
Mode 1: No automatic door lock or unlock.
Mode 2: Automatic all door lock when the transaxle is
shifted out of PARK (P). No automatic door unlock.
Mode 3: Automatic all door lock when the transaxle is
shifted out of PARK (P). Automatic all door unlock
when the transaxle is shifted into PARK (P).
Mode 4: Automatic all door lock when the transaxle is
shifted out of PARK (P). Automatic driver's door only
unlock when the transaxle is shifted into PARK (P).
When your vehicle was shipped from the factory, it was
programmed to Mode 3. The mode to which your
vehicle was programmed may have been changed since
it left the factory. To determine the mode to which your
vehicle is programmed or to program your vehicle to a
different mode, do the following:1. Close all doors and turn the ignition switch to ON.
2. Press and hold the power door lock switch in the
lock position.
3. While holding the door lock switch, cycle the
transaxle out of and back into PARK (P). The door
lock and unlock functions will operate as defined,
depending upon the current mode selected. (If you
do not wish to change the current mode, you can
either exit the programming mode by following the
instructions listed here or program the next feature
available on your vehicle).
4. After an initial transaxle cycle, each additional cycle
will advance to the operating mode by one, starting
from the current operating mode.
5. If cycled beyond Mode 4, the vehicle will enter
operating Mode 1. When the door lock switch is
released, the vehicle will remain in the most recent
operating mode.
The mode you selected is now set. You can either exit
the programming mode by following the instructions
above or program the next feature available on
your vehicle.
Disconnecting the battery for up to a year will not
change or delete any previously programmed modes.

2-10 Rear Security Locks

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, do the following:
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 on 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.
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.
Programmable Modes
Mode 1: Turns feature on.
Mode 2: Turns feature off.
