Interior Features

102Interior Features
The anti-theft steering column
lock is not interconnected with the
parking brake. You must always
set the parking brake when
leaving the vehicle.
To prevent discharging the battery,
avoid use of electrical accessories
with the engine shut off.
For easier key operation when
unlocking, rotate the steering
wheel slightly to relieve pressure
on the steering lock.
Key Removal
Manual Transmission
With the vehicle fully stopped,
remove the key from the switch
by turning it to the “
LOCK”
position and removing it.
Removing the key from the
ignition switch while driving
locks the steering. This can
cause you to lose control.
Remove the key from the
ignition switch only when
parked.
Automatic Transmission
With the vehicle fully stopped, place
the automatic transmission shift
lever in “P” (Park) position. Turn
the key to the “
LOCK” position.
Key Reminder
The key reminder circuit causes a
beeper to sound when the door is
held open with the key left in the
ignition switch. This is to help
prevent accidentally locking the
key inside the vehicle. The beeper stops when the door is
closed or when the key is removed.
Guard Against Theft
Your new Passport has features to
help prevent theft of the vehicle,
its equipment, and its contents.
These anti-theft features work
depending on how well you use
them.
•Park in a well-lighted area
whenever possible.
•Lock the steering column and
take the key with you.

Turn the ignition switch to
“

This locks both the ignition
switch and steering control.
