WARNING!
Avoid trapping anyone in a vehicle in a colli-
sion. Remember that the rear doors can only
be opened from the outside when the Child-
Protection locks are engaged (locked).
NOTE:
For emergency exit from the rear seats when
the Child-Protection Door Lock System is
engaged, manually raise the door lock knob
to the unlocked position, roll down the win-
dow, and open the door using the outside
door handle.
KEYLESS ENTER-N-GOThe Passive Entry system is an enhancement to
the vehicle’s Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) sys-
tem and a feature of Keyless Enter-N-Go. This
feature allows you to lock and unlock the vehi-
cle’s door(s) without having to press the RKE
transmitter lock or unlock buttons.
NOTE:
• Passive Entry may be programmed ON/
OFF, refer to “Electronic Vehicle Informa-
tion Center (EVIC)/Personal Settings (Customer-Programmable Features)” in
“Understanding Your Instrument Panel”
for further information.
• If a passive entry door handle has not
been used for 72 hours, the passive entry
feature for the handle may time out. Pull-
ing the deactivated front door handle will
reactivate the door handle’s passive entry
feature.
• If wearing gloves on your hands, or if it
has been raining on the passive entry
door handle, the unlock sensitivity can be
affected, resulting in a slower response
time.
• If you unlock the doors using the passive
entry door handles, but do NOT pull the
handle, the doors will automatically lock
after 30 seconds.
To Unlock From The Driver’s Side:
With a valid Passive Entry RKE transmitter
within 5 ft (1.5 m) of the driver’s door handle,
grab the driver’s front door handle to unlock the
driver’s door automatically. The interior door
panel lock knob will raise when the door is
unlocked. NOTE:
If “Unlock All Doors 1st Press” is pro-
grammed all doors will unlock when you
grab hold of the driver’s front door handle.
To select between “Unlock Driver Door 1st
Press” and “Unlock All Doors 1st Press”,
refer to “Electronic Vehicle Information Cen-
ter (EVIC)/Personal Settings (Customer-
Programmable Features)” in “Understand-
ing Your Instrument Panel” for further
information.

WARNING!
Never leave children in a vehicle with the key
in the ignition switch or leave a vehicle with
Keyless Enter-N-Go in the ACC or ON/RUN
position. Occupants, particularly unattended
children, can become entrapped by the win-
dows while operating the power window
switches. Such entrapment may result in se-
rious injury or death.
Auto-Down
Both the driver and front passenger window
switches have an “Auto-Down” feature. Press
the window switch past the first detent, release,
and the window will go down automatically. To
cancel the “Auto-Down” movement, operate
the switch in either the up or down direction
and release the switch.
To open the window part way, press to the first
detent and release it when you want the win-
dow to stop. The power window switches remain active for
10 minutes after the ignition has been turned
OFF. Opening either front door will cancel this
feature.
Auto Up Feature with Anti-Pinch Protection —
Driver and Front Passenger Door Only
Lift the window switch to the second detent,
release, and the window will go up automati-
cally.
To stop the window from going all the way up
during the Auto Up operation, push down on
the switch briefly.
To close the window part way, lift the window
switch to the first detent and release when you
want the window to stop.
NOTE:
If the window runs into any obstacle during
Auto Up it will reverse direction and then go
back down. Remove the obstacle and use
the window switch again to close the win-
dow. Any impact due to rough road condi-
tions may trigger the auto reverse function
unexpectedly during Auto Up. If this hap-pens, pull the switch lightly to the first
detent and hold it to close the window manu-
ally.
WARNING!
There is no anti-pinch protection when the
window is almost closed. Be sure to clear all
objects from the window before closing.
Resetting the Auto Up Feature
Should the Auto Up feature stop working, the
window probably needs to be reset. To reset
Auto Up:
1. Pull the window switch up to close the
window completely and continue to hold the
switch up for an additional two seconds after
the window is closed.
2. Push the window switch down firmly to the
second detent to open the window completely
and continue to hold the switch down for an
additional two seconds after the window is fully
open.

be cancelled by either turning the headlight
switch on then off, or by turning the ignition ON.
The headlight delay time is programmable on
