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. Also 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
Even if you park in a lot where someone will be
watching your vehicle, it's still best to lock it up and
take your key. But what if you have to leave your key?
What if you have to leave something valuable in
your vehicle?

Put your valuables in a storage area, like your
glove box.

If your vehicle has a remote keyless entry system,
take the transmitter with you.

Lock all the doors except the driver's.

Interior Lamps Override Switch
This switch is located
in the overhead
console switchbank.
Press the symbol on the switch to override control of the
interior lamps and turn off power to the reading lamps,
visor vanity lamps (if equipped) and glove box lamp.
This feature allows you to have the lamps off when any
door is open.
Press the textured part of the interior lamps override
switch to turn power back on to the interior lamps. This
will allow the lamps to stay on when any door is open.
Illuminated Entry
With illuminated entry, the interior of your vehicle is
illuminated so you can see inside before you enter your
vehicle. The lamps will come on for 40 seconds if you
unlock your door using your key or the optional remote
keyless entry transmitter and the ignition is in LOCK or
OFF. After 40 seconds have passed, the interior lamps
will slowly fade out. The lamps will turn off before the
40 seconds if you do one of the following:

Lock all the doors using the key,

press LOCK on the power door lock switch, or

press LOCK on the optional remote keyless
entry transmitter.
When any door is opened, illuminated entry is cancelled.
The interior lamps will stay on while any door or the
liftgate is open, and slowly fade out when all doors and
the liftgate are closed.
The interior lamps may stay on for up to 25 seconds
after all doors have been closed if they have not been
locked. See ªDelayed Illuminationº later in this section.
To turn the exit lighting feature off or on, see
ªMultifunction Alarm Locks and Lighting Choicesº in
the Index.

Glove Box
Your vehicle has a glove box below the instrument
panel. To open the glove box, lift the latch release.
Use the key to lock or unlock the glove box.
The glove box door has a detent to prevent the door
from lowering too far. Open the glove box until the door
is partway open, then pull the door down if you need it
fully open. To close the glove box, the door must be
pressed up past the detent.
In the door of the glove box, you will find a tissue pack
holder and clip for a pen or pencil.
Compact Overhead Console (Canada Only)
The front overhead console includes two reading lamps,
a storage compartment and a switchbank.

3. Line up the button of the garage door opener with
one of the four buttons on the compartment door.
Make sure the garage door opener button is facing
down and press the opener firmly into place.
4. Once the opener is installed, use the black pegs inside
the compartment door to make sure the lined area on
the compartment door will contact the control button
on your garage door opener when pressed.
5. Add one peg at a time until your garage door opener
operates with the compartment door closed when
you press the button.
Storage Bin
At the base of the center instrument panel console, there
is a storage bin. To open the bin, lift the latch release
and the door will fold down.
Inside the bin, you will find a tray that slides out. Slide
the tray all the way toward the rear of the vehicle until
the tray locks onto the plastic tabs at the end of the guide
rails. The tray can hold CDs or cassettes in the center
area. You can also store cassettes in the left and right
side area. The tray can be removed for cleaning or when
you want to replace the selection of CDs or cassettes.
Slide the tray back into the storage bin before closing
the bin door. The tray can also be placed in the glove
box for locked storage if desired.

Accessory Inflator System (Option)
Your vehicle may have an air inflator. With it, you can
inflate things like air mattresses and basketballs, and
you can also use it to bring your tires up to the
proper pressure.
The air inflator is located in the rear compartment on the
driver's side. To remove the cover, pull the tab on the
cover and pull it off.
The air inflator kit is stored in the glove box. It includes
a 20
-foot (6 m) hose with an air pressure gage and
nozzle adapters.
CAUTION:
Inflating something too much can make it
explode, and you or others could be injured. Be
sure to read the inflator instructions, and inflate
any object only to its recommended pressure.

2-88
The switch and outlet for the air inflator system are
located in the rear compartment on the driver's side next
to the accessory power outlet.
To use your air inflator system, do the following:
1. Turn the ignition key to ACCESSORY or RUN.
2. Attach the appropriate nozzle adapter, if required, to
the end of the hose that has the pressure gage.
3. Attach that end of the hose to the object you wish
to inflate.4. Remove the protective cap covering the outlet.
5. Attach the other end of the hose to the outlet.
6. Press the ON switch.
If the air inflator system does not turn on, the fuse may
be blown or installed incorrectly. See ªFuses and Circuit
Breakersº in the Index or see your dealer for service.
Your air inflator will automatically shut off after about
10 minutes. To reset, press the ON switch again.
Don't run your air inflator for longer than 30 minutes at
one time. If you do, you may damage the system. After
30 minutes, wait at least 10 minutes before restarting the
air inflator.
To turn off the inflator, do the following:
1. Press OFF and detach the hose, first from the
inflated object, then from the outlet.
2. Put the protective cap back on.
3. Place the inflator kit tools in the pouch, and store in
the glove box.

the cover and put it in place. Push down the tab to
