Power Door Locks
The power door lock
switches are located on
the driver’s and the
front passenger’s doors.
Press L (lock) to lock all the doors at once.
To unlock all the doors, press U (unlock).
Programmable Automatic
Door Locks
If your vehicle has an automatic transmission, it is
programmed from the factory to lock the doors
automatically when the shift lever is moved out of
PARK (P). All the doors will unlock when the shift lever
is moved back into PARK (P).
If your vehicle has a manual transmission, it is
programmed from the factory to lock the doors
automatically when the vehicle speed is greater than
15 mph (24 km/h). The doors will unlock when the key is
removed from the ignition.
To personalize the automatic door locks, see “Automatic
Door Locks” underDIC Operation and Displays on
page 3-40. Driver’s side shown
2-8

If you have an automatic transmission, the ignition
switch cannot be turned to LOCK/OFF unless the shift
lever is in PARK (P).
If the steering wheel is locked, move it from right to
left and turn the key to ACC/ACCESSORY. If none of
this works, then your vehicle needs service.
(B) ACC/ACCESSORY:This is the position in which
you can operate your electrical accessories or items
plugged into the accessory power outlets. On automatic
transmission vehicles, this position unlocks the
ignition. On manual transmission vehicles, it unlocks the
ignition and steering wheel. Use this position if your
vehicle must be pushed or towed.
(C) ON/RUN:This is the position that the switch returns
to after you start your engine and release the switch.
The switch stays in ON when the engine is running.
But even when the engine is not running, you can use
ON/RUN to operate the electrical accessories and
to display some instrument panel cluster warning and
indicator lights. The transmission is also unlocked in
this position on automatic transmission vehicles.
The battery could be drained if you leave the key in
the ACC/ACCESSORY or ON/RUN 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.START (D):This is the position that starts the engine.
When the engine starts, release the key. The ignition
switch returns to ON/RUN for driving.
When the engine is not running, ACC/ACCESSORY
and ON/RUN allows you to operate the electrical
accessories, such as the radio or items plugged into
the accessory power outlets.
A warning tone will sound if you open the driver’s
door when the ignition is in ACC/ACCESSORY or
LOCK/OFF and the key is in the ignition.
Key In the Ignition
Never leave your vehicle with the keys inside, as it is an
easy target for joy riders or thieves. If you leave the
key in the ignition and park your vehicle, a chime
will sound, when you open the driver’s door. Always
remember to remove your key from the ignition and take
it with you. This will lock your ignition and transmission.
Also, always remember to lock the doors.
The battery could be drained if you leave the key in the
ignition while your vehicle is parked. You may not be
able to start your vehicle after it has been parked for an
extended period of time.
2-19

Automatic Transmission Operation
The automatic transmission has a shift lever on the
console.
It features an electronic shift position indicator within
the instrument cluster. This display must be powered
anytime the shift lever is capable of being moved out of
PARK (P). This means that if your key is turned off,
but not in LOCK, there will be a small current drain on
your battery which could discharge your battery over
a period of time. If you need to leave your key in
the ignition but not in LOCK for an extended period,
it is recommended that you disconnect the battery cable
from the battery to prevent discharging your battery.
There are several different positions for your shift lever.PARK (P):This position locks your rear wheels. It is
the best position to use when you start the 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) (Automatic
Transmission) on page 2-33. If you are pulling a
trailer, seeTowing a Trailer on page 4-50.
Make sure the shift lever is fully in PARK (P)
before starting the engine. Your vehicle has an
automatic transmission shift lock control system.
You must fully apply your regular brakes rst and
then press the shift lever button before you can
shift from PARK (P) when the ignition key is in ON.

Automatic Dimming Mirror Operation
The automatic dimming mirror comes on each time
the ignition is turned to start. To turn the automatic
dimming feature off or back on, press and hold
Yfor
nine seconds. The indicator light on the mirror is lit
when the automatic dimming feature is on.
Temperature Display
To adjust between Fahrenheit and Celsius:
PressYfor approximately four seconds to toggle
the display from F (Fahrenheit) to C (Celsius)
to OFF.
The temperature display will remain in its current
state each time the ignition goes through its cycle.
At start up, if the vehicle has been off for less
than two and a half hours, and the last stored
temperature was less than the current termperature,
the sensor will increase 1°F every two minutes
until the correct temperature is displayed.
If the vehicle has been off more than two and a
half hours, or the last stored temperature is
greater than the current temperature, the current
temperature immediately displays.
If the temperature is 37°F (3°C) or lower, ICE will
ash on the temperature display. This display will
ash every two seconds for a period of one minute.
If an abnormal temperature reading is displayed for
an extended period of time, see your dealer/retailer.
Under certain circumstances, a delay in updating
the temperature is normal.

Compass Variance
The mirror is set in zone eight upon leaving the
factory. It will be necessary to adjust the compass to
compensate for compass variance if the vehicle is
outside of zone eight. Under certain circumstances,
as during a long distance cross-country trip, it will
be necessary to adjust for compass variance. Compass
variance is the difference between earth’s magnetic
north and true geographic north. If not adjusted
to account for compass variance, the compass could
give false readings.
To adjust for compass variance:
1. Find your current location and variance zone
number on the following zone map.
2. Press and hold
Yfor 12 seconds until a zone
number appears in the display. The compass is
now in zone mode.
3. Keep pressing the
Yuntil the desired zone
number appears in the display. Release the button.
After approximately four seconds of inactivity,
the new zone number will be locked in and the
compass/temperature display will return.
