Section 2 Features and Controls

Power Door Locks
With the power door locks, you can lock or unlock all of
the doors on your vehicle using the driver’s or front
passenger’s door lock switch.
Press the bottom of the switch to lock all of the doors.
Press the top of the switch to unlock all of the doors.
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. SeeLockout Protection on
page 2-11.
With the key out of the ignition and the driver’s door
open, pressing LOCK on the driver’s power door
lock switch will not immediately lock the other doors.
Instead a seven second delay will start and three chimes
will be heard. 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 “Programmable Horn
Chirp” previously 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.
Press LOCK twice on the power door lock switch on the
driver’s door to lock the doors without a delay or
press the LOCK button on the remote keyless entry
transmitter while all doors are closed.
Programmable Automatic
Door Locks
Programmable automatic power door locks are intended
to provide enhanced security and convenience by
automatically locking and unlocking doors. This feature
lets you program your power door locks to one of
four modes.

Don’t let the other end touch anything until the next
step. The other end of the negative (−) cable
doesn’tgo to the dead battery. It goes to a heavy,
unpainted metal engine part or to a remote
negative (−) terminal on the vehicle with the dead
battery.9. Connect the other end of the negative (−) cable at
least 18 inches (45 cm) away from the dead battery,
but not near engine parts that move. The electrical
connection is just as good there, and the chance
of sparks getting back to the battery is much less.
10. Now start the vehicle with the good battery and run
the engine for a while.
11. Try to start the vehicle that has the dead battery. If
it won’t start after a few tries, it probably needs
service.
Notice:If the jumper cables are removed in the
wrong order, electrical shorting may occur and
damage the vehicle. The repairs would not be
covered by your warranty. Remove the jumper
cables in the correct order, making sure that the
cables do not touch each other or other metal.
