1) Move the lock upward to the lock posi-
tion.
2) Close the door.
3) Do the same thing to the other rear
door lock.
The rear doors on your vehicle cannot be
opened from the inside when this feature is
in use.Opening a Rear Door When the Security
Lock is On
1) Unlock the door from the inside.
2) Then open the door from the outside.
If you don’t 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 to cancel the locks.
Canceling the Rear Door Security Lock
1) Unlock the door from the inside and
open the door from the outside.
2) Move the lock downward to the unlock
position.
3) Do the same for the other rear door.
The rear door lock will now work normally.
Lockout ProtectionIf your vehicle is equipped with remote key-
less entry, you have lockout protection.
This feature stops the driver’s door from
locking when the power door lock switch is
pressed with the driver’s door open.
Leaving Your VehicleIf you are leaving the vehicle, take your
keys. All of the doors, except for the
driver’s door, can be locked from the out-
side by pushing down the door lock and
then closing the door. The driver’s door
can be locked from the outside only with
the key or by using the optional keyless
entry transmitter.Trunk (Sedan)To open the trunk from the outside, insert
the key and turn it clockwise in the trunk
lock cylinder or use the remote keyless
entry transmitter if your vehicle has one. When closing the trunk, close from the
center to ensure it fully latches. Although
you may use one hand to unlock the trunk,
it is recommend that two hands on the
upper surface be used to close the trunk.

Liftgate (Wagon)
To open the liftgate, pull up the handle
above the license plate.
When closing the liftgate, close from the
center to ensure it fully latches. Although
you may use one hand to unlock the lift-
gate, it is recommended that two hands on
the upper surface be used to close the lift-
gate.
To lock the liftgate, insert the key into the
lock cylinder and turn it counterclockwise.
The liftgate can also be locked or unlocked
using the central door locking system. See
“Central Door Locking System” in this sec-
tion.
WindowsManual WindowsOn a vehicle with manual windows, use the
window crank to open and close each win-
dow.
The rear windows do not open fully.
WARNING
It can be dangerous to drive with the
liftgate open because carbon monox-
ide (CO) gas can come into your vehi-
cle. You can’t see or smell CO. It can
cause unconsciousness and even
death. If you must drive with the lift-
gate open or if electrical wiring or
other cable connections must pass
through the seal between the body
and the liftgate:
 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 vehi-
cle. 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.

WARNING
Leaving children in a vehicle with the
windows closed is dangerous. A
child can be overcome by the
extreme heat and can suffer perma-
nent injuries or even death from heat
stroke. Never leave a child alone in a
vehicle, especially with the windows
closed in warm or hot weather.

Steering in Emergencies
There are times when steering can be
more effective than braking. For example,
you come over a hill and find a truck
stopped in your lane, or a car suddenly
pulls out from nowhere, or a child darts out
from between parked cars and stops right
in front of you. You can avoid these prob-
lems by braking – if you can stop in time.
But sometimes you can’t; there isn’t room.
That’s the time for evasive action – steer-
ing around the problem.
Your vehicle can perform very well in emer-
gencies like these. First apply your brakes
but, unless you have anti-lock, not enough
to lock your wheels.
See “Braking” in this section. It is better to
remove as much speed as you can from a
possible collision. Then steer around the
problem, to the left or right depending on
the space available.An emergency like this requires close
attention and a quick decision. If you are
holding the steering wheel at the recom-
mended 9 and 3 o’clock positions, you can
turn it a full 180 degrees very quickly with-
out removing either hand. But you have to
act fast, steer quickly, and just as quickly
straighten the wheel once you have
avoided the object.
The fact that such emergency situations
are always possible is a good reason to
practice defensive driving at all times and
wear safety belts properly.
Off-Road RecoveryYou may find that your right wheels have
dropped off the edge of a road onto the
shoulder while you’re driving.If the level of the shoulder is only slightly
below the pavement, recovery should be
fairly easy. Ease off the accelerator and
then, if there is nothing in the way, steer so
that your vehicle straddles the edge of the
pavement. You can turn the steering wheel
up to one-quarter turn until the right front
tire contacts the pavement edge. Then turn
your steering wheel to go straight down the
roadway.
Passing
The driver of a vehicle about to pass
another on a two-lane highway waits for
just the right moment, accelerates, moves
around the vehicle ahead, then goes back
into the right lane again. A simple maneu-
ver?
Not necessarily! Passing another vehicle
on a two-lane highway is a potentially dan-
