Lockout Protection
Lockout protection is intended to provide additional
security and convenience. While any door is open and
the key is in the ignition, the doors cannot be locked
by using the power door locks.
To override this feature, while the key is in the ignition
and any door is open, press and hold down the
power door lock switch for three seconds.
This feature cannot guarantee that you will never be
locked out of your vehicle. If the key is not in the ignition,
or if you use the manual door lock or the remote
keyless entry transmitter, you could still lock your key
inside your vehicle. Always remember to take your
key with you.
Leaving Your Vehicle
If you are leaving your vehicle, open your door and set
the locks from the inside, then get out and close the door.
Trunk
To unlock the trunk from the outside, insert the key and
turn the trunk lock cylinder. When closing the trunk
lid, push the truck lid in the center to ensure that the lock
fully latches.
{CAUTION:
It can be dangerous to drive with the trunk lid
open because carbon monoxide (CO) gas can
come into your vehicle. You can’t see or smell
CO. It can cause unconsciousness and even
death. If you must drive with the trunk lid open
or if electrical wiring or other cable
connections must pass through the seal
between the body and the trunk lid:
Make sure all other windows are shut.
Turn the fan on your heating or cooling
system to its highest speed and select the
control setting that will force outside air
into your vehicle. See “Climate Control
System” in the Index.
If you have air outlets on or under the
instrument panel, open them all the way.
See “Engine Exhaust” in the Index.

Interior Lamps
Instrument Panel Brightness
The thumbwheel for this
feature is located on the
instrument panel to the left
of the steering wheel.
Move the thumbwheel to the right to brighten the lights
or to the left to dim them.
Entry/Exit Lighting
When you open any door, the dome lamp inside your
vehicle will go on. This lamp will fade out 10 seconds
after the last door is closed, or when the ignition
is turned on after all doors have been closed. This lamp
will also go on when you press the trunk release
button, the unlock button or the horn button on the
remote keyless entry transmitter.
The lamps inside of your vehicle will stay on for about
10 seconds after your key is removed from the ignition to
provide an illuminated exit.
Dome Lamp
The switch on this lamp has three positions. The ON
position will turn on the lamp. The DOOR position
will turn on the lamp while a door is opened. The OFF
position will shut off the lamp completely, even while
a door is opened.
Trunk Lamp
The trunk lamp comes on when you open your trunk.

Battery Run-Down Protection
Your vehicle has a battery run-down protection feature
designed to protect your vehicle’s battery.
When any interior lamp (trunk, reading, footwell, visor
vanity or glove box) is left on when the ignition is turned
off, the battery run-down protection system will
automatically shut the lamp(s) off after 20 minutes. This
will avoid draining the battery.
To reactivate the interior lamps, do one of the following:
•Turn on the ignition,
•turn the exterior lamp control off and then on,
•open a door,
•press any remote keyless entry transmitter button
(if equipped),
•press the remote trunk release button, or
•press the power door lock switch.
The battery run-down feature will also be activated
when any door on the vehicle is left open and the
ignition is in OFF.
Accessory Power Outlets
With accessory power outlets you can plug in auxiliary
electrical equipment such as a cellular telephone or
CB radio.
The accessory power outlet is located to the right of the
ashtray.
Notice:Leaving electrical equipment on for
extended periods will drain the battery. Always turn
off electrical equipment when not in use and do
not plug in equipment that exceeds the maximum
amperage rating.
Certain electrical accessories may not be compatible
with the accessory power outlet and could result
in blown vehicle or adapter fuses. If you experience a
problem see your dealer for additional information
on accessory power outlets.
