2-9 Delayed Locking
This feature will allow the driver to delay the actual
locking of the vehicle. This feature will not operate if
the key is left in the ignition. See ªAnti
-Lockout
Protectionº later in this section.
When LOCK on the driver's power door lock switch 
is pressed, with the key removed from the ignition and
the driver's door open, three chimes will be heard. The
doors will not lock. Seven seconds after the driver's
door has been closed, all of the doors will lock and the
parking lamps will flash. The horn will also chirp if the
horn chirp feature is enabled. See ªProgrammable Horn
Chirpº in the Index for more information.
If the driver opens another door before the seven
seconds, the doors will not lock until seven seconds after
the last door is closed.
If the power door lock switch is pressed to LOCK twice
when leaving the vehicle, or the LOCK button on the
remote keyless entry transmitter is pressed, the doors
will lock immediately.
If the power door lock switch is pressed to unlock, the
doors will not lock automatically.
Rear Door Security Locks (4-Door Models)
Your vehicle is equipped
with rear door security
locks that help prevent
passengers from opening
the rear doors on your
vehicle from the inside.
The switch is located on the inside of the rear door. 
To use the security locks, do the following:
1. Move the switch up.
2. Close the door.
3. Do the same thing on the other rear door. 

2-12 Operation
The following functions are
available with the keyless
entry system:
LOCK: All doors will automatically lock when the
LOCK button on the transmitter is pressed. The interior
lamps will turn off after all of the doors are closed. If all
of the doors are closed, the parking lamps will flash
twice and the horn will chirp to indicate locking 
has occurred.
UNLOCK: The driver's door will unlock automatically
when the UNLOCK button on the transmitter is pressed.
If the UNLOCK button is pressed again within
five seconds, all remaining doors will unlock. The
interior lamps will stay on for 10 seconds or until the
ignition is turned on. The parking lamps will flash twice
to indicate unlocking has occurred.
: The trunk will unlock when the vehicle symbol
on the transmitter is pressed, as long as the trunk lockout
is not engaged. You can open the trunk with the
transmitter when the vehicle speed is less than 2 mph 
(3 km/h), when the parking brake is engaged, or when
the ignition is off. The interior lamps will come on for
10 seconds or until the ignition switch is turned to ON.
: The horn will sound and the headlamps and the
parking lamps will flash for up to two minutes when the
horn symbol on the transmitter is pressed. The interior
lamps will come on and remain on while the horn is
sounding and the lamps are flashing. The horn and
lamps can be turned off by pressing the horn symbol
button again or by turning the ignition to ON.
Programmable Horn Chirp
When you use the remote keyless entry transmitter to
lock the doors or use the delayed locking feature the
parking lamps will flash and the horn will chirp.
The programmable horn chirp can be disabled by
pressing and holding either of the door lock switches in
the unlock position for 10 seconds with the ignition ON
and all of the doors closed. When you hear the horn
chirp, programming is complete.
To reactivate the horn chirp feature, repeat the 
above procedure.

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

your steering wheel.
Tilt Wheel
A tilt steering wheel allows you to adjust the steering
wheel before you drive.
You can also raise it to the highest level to give your
legs more room when you exit and enter the vehicle.
To tilt the wheel, hold the steering wheel and pull the
lever toward you.
Move the steering wheel to a comfortable level, then
release the lever to lock the wheel in place.

control is moved to the right, the dome lamp, and the
mirror reading lamps (if equipped) will turn on. Move
the thumbwheel to the left, to turn the lamps off.

have been closed or when the ignition is turned to ON.
These lamps will also go on when you press the trunk
release, UNLOCK or the horn symbol button on the
optional keyless entry system transmitter.
