Programmable Automatic Door
Locks
Programmable automatic power door locks are intended
to provide enhanced security and convenience by
automatically locking and unlocking doors. This features
lets you program your power door locks to one of
four different modes.
Customizing the Automatic Door Locks
Mode 1:All doors automatically lock when the
transaxle is shifted out of PARK (P). The doors will
remain locked unless manually unlocked or the LOCK
button is pressed. All doors will unlock when the
transaxle is shifted into PARK (P) and the key is turned
to OFF.
Mode 2:This mode is only available with the remote
keyless entry transmitter. All doors automatically lock
when the transaxle is shifted out of PARK (P). Automatic
driver’s door only unlock when the transaxle is shifted into
PARK (P) and the key is turned to OFF.
Mode 3:All doors automatically lock when the transaxle
is shifted out of PARK (P). No automatic door unlock.Mode 4:No automatic door lock or unlock.
Before your vehicle was shipped from the factory it was
programmed in Mode 1. To determine the current
mode of the vehicle or to change to a different mode,
do the following:
1. Ensure the shift lever is in PARK (P) and all doors
are fully closed throughout this procedure. Turn the
ignition to ON.
2. Press and hold LOCK on either power door lock
switch for 10 seconds. Release the switch when
you hear the chime.
3. Count the number of chimes you hear. The number
of chimes tells you which mode your vehicle is in.
You can change the mode by pressing and
holding LOCK on the power door lock switch
(two chimes for Mode 2, three chimes for Mode 3
and four chimes for Mode 4).
4. Repeat Step 2 until you hear the number of chimes
that matches the mode you want.
The mode you selected is now set.

Rear Door Security Locks
Your vehicle has rear door security locks that help
prevent passengers from opening the rear doors of
your vehicle from the inside.
The lever for this feature
is located on the inside
of the rear door.
To use the security locks, do the following:
1. Slide the lever up.
2. Close the door.
3. Do the same thing to the other rear door.The rear doors on your vehicle cannot be opened from
the inside when this feature is in use. If you want to
open a rear door while the security lock is on, do
the following:
1. Unlock the door from the inside.
2. Then open the door from the outside.
If you do not cancel the security lock feature, adults or
older children who ride in the rear won’t be able to
open the rear door from the inside. You should let adults
and older children know how these security locks
work, and how to cancel the locks.
To cancel a rear door lock, do the following:
1. Unlock the door from the inside and open it from
the outside.
2. Slide the lever down.
3. Do the same to the other rear door.
The rear doors will now work normally.

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.
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 cannot 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.
SeeEngine Exhaust on page 2-25.

Power Windows
The power window switches are located on the
armrest on the driver’s door. In addition, each
passenger door has a switch for its own window.
Express-Down Window
The driver’s window also has an express-down feature.
This switch is labeled AUTO. Press the rear of the
switch partway, and the driver’s window will open
a small amount. If the rear of the switch is pressed all
the way down, the window will go all the way down.
To stop the window while it is lowering, press the front
of the switch. To raise the window, press and hold
the front of the switch.
Window Lockout
The driver’s power window controls also include a lock
out button. Press the LOCK OUT button to stop the
front and rear passengers from using their window
switches. The driver can still operate all the windows
with the lock on. Press the LOCK OUT button again to
return to normal window operation.

Theft-Deterrent Systems
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.
Passlock®
Your vehicle has the Passlock®theft-deterrent system.
Passlock
®is a passive theft-deterrent system.
Passlock®enables fuel if the ignition lock cylinder is
turned with a valid key. If a correct key is not used or the
ignition lock cylinder is tampered with, the fuel system
is disabled and the vehicle will not start.
During normal operation, the THEFT SYSTEM light will
turn off approximately five seconds after the ignition
key is turned to ON and the engine is started.
After attempting to start the engine, if the THEFT
SYSTEM light flashes or stays on, wait ten minutes
with the key in ON until the light goes off. Then turn
the ignition to OFF before attempting to start
the engine again.
Starting and Operating
Your Vehicle
New Vehicle Break-In
Notice:Your vehicle does not need an elaborate
break-in. But it will perform better in the long run
if you follow these guidelines:
Do not drive at any one speed, fast or slow,
for the rst 500 miles (805 km). Do not make
full-throttle starts.
Avoid making hard stops for the rst 200 miles
(322 km) or so. During this time your new brake
linings are not yet broken in. Hard stops with new
linings can mean premature wear and earlier
replacement. Follow this breaking-in guideline
every time you get new brake linings.
Do not tow a trailer during break-in. SeeTowing a
Trailer on page 4-35for more information.

Ignition Positions
With the key in the ignition switch, you can turn it to
four different positions.
Notice:Using a tool to force the key from the
ignition switch could cause damage or break the
key. Use the correct key and turn the key only with
your hand. Make sure the key is in all the way. If
none of this works, then your vehicle needs service.A (OFF):This is the only position from which you can
remove the key. It also locks your ignition and transaxle.
A warning chime will sound if you open the driver’s
door when the ignition is off and the key is in the ignition.
B (ACCESSORY):This position lets you use things
like the radio and windshield wipers when the engine is
not running. To use ACCESSORY, turn the key
clockwise to the first position.
Use this position if your vehicle must be pushed or
towed, but never try to push-start your vehicle.
SeeRecreational Vehicle Towing on page 4-33.
C (ON):This position unlocks the ignition. It is also the
position to where the key returns after you start the
engine and release the switch. The switch will stay in
this position when the engine is running. But even when
the engine is not running, you can use ON to operate
your electrical accessories, and to display some
instrument panel warning lights.
D (START):This position starts the engine. When
the engine starts, release the key. The ignition switch
will return to ON for normal driving.

Automatic Transaxle Operation
Your automatic transaxle
has a shift lever located
on the console between
the seats.
PARK (P):This position locks your front wheels.
It is the best position to use when you start your
engine because your vehicle cannot move easily.{CAUTION:
It is dangerous to get out of your vehicle if
the shift lever is not fully in PARK (P) with the
parking brake rmly set. Your vehicle can roll.
Do not leave your vehicle when the engine is
running unless you have to. If you have left the
engine running, the vehicle can move suddenly.
You or others could be injured. To be sure your
vehicle will not move, even when you are on
fairly level ground, always set your parking
brake and move the shift lever to PARK (P).
SeeShifting Into Park (P) on page 2-23.
If you are pulling a trailer, seeTowing a Trailer
on page 4-35.
Ensure the shift lever is fully in PARK (P) before starting
the engine. Your vehicle has an automatic transaxle shift
lock control system. You have to apply your regular brake
before you can shift from PARK (P) when the ignition
key is in ON. If you cannot shift out of PARK (P), ease
pressure on the shift lever – push the shift lever all the
way into PARK (P) – as you maintain brake application.
