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 will not open it.
You increase the chance of being
thrown out of the vehicle in a crash if
the doors are not locked. So, wear
safety belts properly and lock the
doors whenever you drive.
CAUTION: (Continued)
CAUTION: (Continued)

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.
There are several ways to lock and unlock your
vehicle.
From the outside, use your key or, if your vehicle
has one, the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
transmitter. Turn the key counterclockwise to
unlock the door. Turn the key clockwise to lock
the door.
From the inside, use the manual lock knobs or the
power lock switches.

9(OFF):This is the only position from which
you can remove the key. For a vehicle with an
automatic transaxle, the shift lever must be in
PARK (P) with the ignition in OFF to remove the
key. For a vehicle with a manual transaxle, the shift
lever must be in REVERSE (R) to remove the key.
A warning chime will sound if you open the driver’s
door while the ignition is off and the key is in the
ignition.
ACC (Accessory):This position unlocks the
transaxle. It also lets you use things like the radio
and windshield wipers while the engine is not
running. To use ACC, turn the key clockwise to the
rst position. Use this position if your vehicle must
be pushed or towed. SeeRecreational Vehicle
Towing on page 294.
Never try to push-start your vehicle, unless it has a
manual transaxle.R(ON):This position is where the key returns to
after you start the engine and release the key. The
ignition switch will stay in this position while the
engine is running. But even while the engine is not
running, you can use ON to operate your electrical
accessories and to display some instrument
panel warning lights. Use the ON position for
push-starting a vehicle with a manual transaxle.
The battery could be drained if you leave the key in
the ACC or ON position with the engine off. You
may not be able to start your vehicle if the battery
is allowed to drain for an extended period of time.

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 the accessory power
outlet.
Notice:Adding any electrical equipment to
your vehicle may damage it or keep other
components from working as they should.
The repairs would not be covered by your
warranty. Do not use equipment exceeding
maximum amperage rating of 20 amperes.
Check with your dealer before adding electrical
equipment.
When adding electrical equipment, be sure to
follow the proper installation instructions included
with the equipment.
Notice:Improper use of the power outlet can
cause damage not covered by your warranty.

(Fan):Turn the left knob clockwise or
counterclockwise to increase or decrease the fan
speed. The fan must be on to run the air
conditioning compressor.
182

Temperature Control:Turn the center knob
clockwise or counterclockwise to increase
or decrease the temperature inside your vehicle.
When it’s cold outside 0°F (−18°C) or lower,
use the engine coolant heater, if the vehicle has
one, to warm air faster in your vehicle. An
engine coolant heater warms the engine coolant
that is used to warm the inside of your vehicle. For
more information, seeEngine Coolant Heater on
page 128.
#(Air Conditioning):Press this button to turn
the air conditioning system on or off. When
the air conditioning button is pressed, an indicator
light comes on to indicate that the air conditioning
is activated.
The air conditioning system removes moisture from
the air, so sometimes a small amount of water drips
underneath the vehicle while it is idling or after the
engine is turned off. This is normal.
Maximum Air Conditioning
On hot days, open the windows to let hot inside
air escape; then close them. This helps to reduce
the time it takes for your vehicle to cool down.
It also helps the system to operate more efficiently.For quick cool down on hot days, do the following:
1. Select the
Cvent mode.
2. Select the highest fan speed.
3. Select
#air conditioning.
4. Select the
?recirculation mode.
5. Select the coolest temperature.
Using these settings together for long periods of
time can cause the air inside of your vehicle
to become too dry. To prevent this from
happening, after the air in your vehicle has cooled,
turn the recirculation mode off.
If your vehicle has the remote start feature, it will
turn on using the last settings selected on the
climate control before the vehicle was turned off.
The fan and air delivery knobs can be used during
remote start. The buttons will not work until the
ignition is turned on by the key.
The climate control system changes back to
manual operation when the vehicle key is
turned to ON.

Set up your audio system by presetting your
favorite radio stations, setting the tone, and
adjusting the speakers. Then, when driving
conditions permit, you can tune to your favorite
radio stations using the presets and steering
wheel controls if the vehicle has them.
Notice:Before adding any sound equipment
to your vehicle, such as an audio system,
CD player, CB radio, mobile telephone,
or two-way radio, make sure that it can be
added by checking with your dealer. Also,
check federal rules covering mobile radio and
telephone units. If sound equipment can be
added, it is very important to do it properly.
Added sound equipment may interfere with the
operation of your vehicle’s engine, radio, or
other systems, and even damage them.
Your vehicle’s systems may interfere with the
operation of sound equipment that has
been added.
