from your dealer. The key will have PK3 stamped on it.

NOTICE:
Your vehicle has a number of features that can
help prevent theft. But you can have a lot of
trouble getting into your vehicle if you ever
lock your keys inside. You may even have to
damage your vehicle to get in. So be sure you
have extra keys.
Door Locks
CAUTION:
Unlocked doors can be dangerous.

Passengers -- especially children -- can
easily open the doors and fall out of a
moving vehicle. When a door is locked, the
handle won't open it. You increase the
chance of being thrown out of the vehicle in
a crash if the doors aren't locked. So, wear
safety belts properly and lock the doors
whenever you drive.

Young children who get into unlocked
vehicles may be unable to get out. A child
can be overcome by extreme heat and can
suffer permanent injuries or even death
from heat stroke. Always lock your vehicle
whenever you leave it.

Outsiders can easily enter through an
unlocked door when you slow down or stop
your vehicle. Locking your doors can help
prevent this from happening.

2-7
There are several ways to lock and unlock your vehicle.
If your vehicle has a theft
-deterrent system and it is
activated, unlock the doors only with the key or remote
keyless entry system. This will avoid setting off the
alarm. See ªUniversal Theft
-Deterrentº in the Index for
more information.
To unlock the door from the outside, use your door key
or remote keyless entry transmitter (if equipped).
Turning the door key toward the rear of the vehicle will
unlock the door. Turning the door key toward the front
of the vehicle will lock it.
To lock the door from the inside, push the manual door
lock forward. To unlock the door, push the manual door
lock rearward.
