Programmable Automatic Door
Locks
Your vehicle is programmed so that, when the
doors are closed, the ignition is on, and the shift
lever is moved out of PARK (P), all the doors will
lock. The doors will unlock every time you stop the
vehicle and move the shift lever into PARK (P).
If someone needs to get out while your vehicle is
not in PARK (P), have the person use the
manual lock knob or power door lock switch.
When the door is closed again, it will not
lock automatically. Use the manual lock knob or
power door lock switch to lock the door.
With the vehicle in PARK (P) and the ignition on,
the door locks can be programmed through
prompts displayed on the Driver Information Center
(DIC). These prompts allow the driver to choose
various lock and unlock settings. For programming
information, seeDIC Vehicle Customization on
page 259.
Rear Door Security Locks
Your vehicle has security locks that prevent
passengers from opening the rear doors from the
inside.
The rear door security locks are located on the
inside edge of each rear door. You must open the
rear doors to access them.
To assist you in nding the lock, your vehicle will
have one of the following:
To use these locks, do the following:
1. Turn the knob to the vertical position to engage
the lock.
2. Close the door.
3. Do the same for the other rear door.

Outside Automatic Dimming Mirror
If the vehicle is equipped with this feature, the
driver’s side mirror will adjust for the glare
of headlamps behind you. This feature is controlled
by the on and off settings on the automatic
dimming rearview mirror.
Outside Curb View Assist Mirror
If your vehicle is equipped with memory mirrors, it
will also be capable of performing the curb
view assist mirror feature. This feature will allow
the driver’s and passenger’s side mirror to tilt to a
factory programmed position when the vehicle
is in REVERSE (R). This feature may be useful in
allowing you to view the curb when you are
parallel parking.
When the vehicle is shifted out of REVERSE (R)
and either a ve-second delay has occurred,
or the ignition is turned to OFF, the driver’s and
passenger’s side mirror will return to its original
position.
This feature can be enabled/disabled through the
Driver Information Center (DIC).
Outside Convex Mirror
{CAUTION:
A convex mirror can make things (like
other vehicles) look farther away than they
really are. If you cut too sharply into the
right lane, you could hit a vehicle on your
right. Check your inside mirror or glance
over your shoulder before changing lanes.
The passenger side mirror is convex. A convex
mirror’s surface is curved so more can be seen
from the driver’s seat. This mirror does not have a
dimming feature.
Outside Heated Mirrors
When you operate the rear window defogger, it
also warms both outside mirrors to help clear them
of fog or ice. SeeDual Climate Control System
on page 210for more information.

Read the instructions completely before attempting
to program the Universal Home Remote.
Because of the steps involved, it may be helpful to
have another person available to assist you in
the programming steps.
Keep the original hand-held transmitter for use in
other vehicles as well as for future Universal Home
Remote programming. It is also recommended that
upon the sale of the vehicle, the programmed
Universal Home Remote buttons should be erased
for security purposes. See “Erasing Universal
Home Remote Buttons” later in section.
When programming a garage door, it is advised to
park outside of the garage. Be sure that people
and objects are clear of the garage door or
gate operator you are programming.
It is recommended that a new battery be installed in
your hand-held transmitter for quicker and more
accurate transmission of the radio-frequency signal.Programming the Universal Home
Remote System
To program up to three devices:
1. Press and hold down the two outside
Universal Home Remote buttons, releasing
only when the Universal Home Remote
indicator light begins to ash, after
20 seconds. Do not hold down the buttons for
longer than 30 seconds and do not repeat
this step to program a second and/or
third hand-held transmitter to the remaining
two Universal Home Remote buttons.
2. Hold the end of your hand-held transmitter
about 1 to 3 inches (3 to 8 cm) away from
the Universal Home Remote buttons
while keeping the indicator light in view.
3. At the same time, press and hold both the
desired Universal Home Remote button and
the hand-held transmitter button. Do not
release the buttons until Step 4 has been
completed.
Some entry gates and garage door openers
may require you to substitute Step 3 with
the procedure noted in “Gate Operator and
Canadian Programming” later in this section.

Read the instructions completely before attempting
to program the transmitter. Because of the steps
involved, it may be helpful to have another
person available to assist you in programming the
transmitter.
Be sure to keep the original remote control
transmitter for use in other vehicles, as well as, for
future programming. You only need the original
remote control transmitter for Fixed Code
programming. It is also recommended that upon
the sale or lease termination of the vehicle,
the programmed buttons should be erased for
security purposes. See “Erasing Universal Home
Remote Buttons” later in this section.
When programming a garage door, it is advised to
park outside of the garage. Be sure that people
and objects are clear of the garage door or
security device you are programming.
Programming Universal Home
Remote — Rolling Code
Most garage door openers sold after 1996 are
Rolling Code units.Programming a garage door opener involves
time-sensitive actions, so read the entire procedure
before you begin. If you do not follow these
actions, the device will time out and you will have
to repeat the procedure.
To program up to three devices:
1. From inside the vehicle, press the two
outside buttons at the same time for one to
two seconds, and immediately release them.

Inadvertent Power Battery Saver
This feature is designed to protect your vehicle’s
battery against drainage from the interior lamps,
trunk lamp, glove box lamp, or the garage door
opener. When the ignition is turned off, the power
to these features will automatically turn off after
10 minutes. Power will be restored for an additional
10 minutes if any door or trunk is opened, or the
courtesy lamp switch is turned on.
Battery Run-Down Protection
This vehicle has a feature to help prevent the
battery from being drained, if the interior courtesy
lamps, reading/map lamps, visor vanity lamps
or trunk lamp are accidentally left on. If any
of these lamps are left on, they will automatically
turn off after 10 minutes, if the ignition is off.
The lamps will not come back on again until
one of the following occurs:
The ignition is turned on.
The exterior lamps control is turned off, then
on again.
The headlamps will time out after 10 minutes,
if they are manually turned on before the ignition
is off.
Ultrasonic Front and Rear Parking
Assist (UFRPA)
If your vehicle is equipped, the Ultrasonic Front and
Rear Parking Assist (UFRPA) system is designed
to help you park. It operates only at speeds less
than 5 mph (8km/h). UFRPA helps make parking
easier and helps you avoid colliding with objects
such as parked vehicles. The UFRPA system
detects objects that are close to the vehicle which
are at least 10 inches (25.4 cm) off the ground and
below hood or trunk level. The system detects
objects up to 4 feet (1.2 m) in front of the vehicle
and up to 8 feet (2.5 m) behind your vehicle.
UFRPA determines how close these objects are
from your bumpers within this area. Four ultrasonic
sensors on the front and rear bumpers are used to
detect the distance to the object.
202

{CAUTION:
The Ultrasonic Front and Rear Park Assist
(UFRPA) system does not replace driver
vision. UFRPA does not:
Operate above speeds of
5 mph (8 km/h).
Detect objects more than 4 feet
(1.2 meters) in front of the vehicle and
more than 8 feet (2.5 meters) behind
the vehicle. This distance may be less
during warmer or humid weather.
Detect objects that are below the
bumper, underneath the vehicle,
or that are very close to the vehicle.
Detect children, pedestrians, bicyclists,
or pets.
So if you do not use proper care before
moving forward or backing up, you could
hit a vehicle, child, pedestrian, bicyclist,
or pet, resulting in vehicle damage, injury,
or death. Even though the vehicle has the
CAUTION: (Continued)
CAUTION: (Continued)
UFRPA system, always check carefully
before moving forward or backing up by
checking in front of and behind your
vehicle.
The front display is located on top of the
instrument panel to the right of the driver. The rear
display is located near the rear window and can
be seen by looking over your right shoulder.
