The doors and the trunk can be locked by
pressing the pressure-sensitive area on each
of the outside door handles or the rubber-cov-
ered button next to the trunk opening control.
The lock indicator on the dash will begin to

Keyless drive remote key and driver's
seat/door mirror memory
•When you leave the vehicle with a PCC in
your possession and lock any door, the
position of the driver's seat and door mir-
rors will be stored in the seat's memory.
•The next time a door is opened by a person
with the same PCC in his/her possession,
the driver's seat and door mirrors will auto-
matically move to the position that they
were in when the door was most recently
locked.
NOTE
If several people carrying PCCs approach
the vehicle at the same time, the driver's
seat and door mirrors will assume the posi-
tions they were in for the person who opens
the driver's door.
See also page 87 for information on adjusting
and storing the seat's position in the seat mem-
ory.
Keyless drive information messagesIf all of the PCCs are removed from the vehicle
while the engine is running or if the ignition is
in mode II (see page 84) and all of the doors
are closed, a message will appear in the instru-
ment panel display and an audible signal will
sound.
When at least one PCC has been returned to
the car, the message will be erased in the dis-
play and the audible signal will stop when:
•A door has been opened and closed
•The PCC has been inserted in the ignition
slot
•The OK button (see page 187 for the loca-
tion of this button) has been pressed.

Remote key memory and the power
driver's seat* and door mirrors2
Each remote key has a feature that enables it
to store (remember) the position of the power
driver's seat and door mirrors when the vehicle
is locked with that remote key.
This feature has to be activated for each of the
remote keys used in the vehicle as follows:
1. Insert a remote key in the ignition slot.2.
Go into the MY CAR menu and go to
Settings
Car settingsCar key
memory
3. To activate the remote key memory fea-
ture, press ENTER (check the box).
> The remote key is now ready to store the
position of the power driver's seat and
door mirrors.
Repeat this procedure for each of the vehicle's
remote keys.
See page 189 for a description of the menu
system.
Storing the positions of the power
driver's seat/mirrors in the remote key
1. Move the seat and door mirrors to the
desired position using the seat and mirror
adjustment controls.
2. Exit the vehicle and lock the doors with the
remote key (or close the driver's door and
press the lock button on the door handle
with the remote key in your possession on
vehicles with the optional keyless drive).
> The positions of the power driver's seat
and door mirrors are now stored in the
remote key's memory.
NOTE
The remote key's memory feature and the
power driver's seat memory function (the
settings made using the buttons on the side
of the seat, see the section "Power seat
memory function" on page 87) work inde-
pendently of each other.
Returning the seat/mirrors to the stored
positions
To move the seat and door mirrors to the posi-
tion stored in the remote key:
1.
Unlock the driver's door with the same
remote key (the one used to lock the
doors). For models equipped with the
optional keyless drive, you must have the
same remote key in your possession.
2. Open the driver's door within 2 minutes.
The driver's seat and door mirrors will auto-
matically move to the position in which you left
them (if the vehicle has been unlocked with one
of the other keys and new seat/mirror adjust-
ments have been made).
2This information also applies to vehicles with the optional keyless drive.

WARNING
•Always remove the remote key from the
ignition slot when leaving the vehicle
and ensure that the ignition in mode 0
(see page 85 for information about the
ignition modes), especially if there are
children in the vehicle.
•On vehicles with th optional keyless
drive, never remove the remote key
from the vehicle while it is being driven
or towed.
•Always place the gear selector in Park
and apply the parking brake before
leaving the vehicle. Never leave the
vehicle unattended with the engine run-
ning.
•Always open garage doors fully before
starting the engine inside a garage to
ensure adequate ventilation. The
exhaust gases contain carbon monox-
ide, which is invisible and odorless but
very poisonous.
NOTE
•After a cold start, idle speed may be
noticeably higher than normal for a
short period. This is done to help bring
components in the emission control
system to their normal operating tem-
perature as quickly as possible, which
enables them to control emissions and
help reduce the vehicle's impact on the
environment
3.
CAUTION
•When starting in cold weather, the auto-
matic transmission may shift up at
slightly higher engine speeds than nor-
mal until the automatic transmission
fluid reaches normal operating tem-
perature.
•Do not race a cold engine immediately
after starting. Oil flow may not reach
some lubrication points fast enough to
prevent engine damage.
•The engine should be idling when you
move the gear selector. Never acceler-
ate until after you feel the transmission
engage. Accelerating immediately after
selecting a gear will cause harsh
engagement and premature transmis-
sion wear.
•Selecting P or N when idling at a stand-
still for prolonged periods of time will
help prevent overheating of the auto-
matic transmission fluid.
3If the gear selector is in the D or R positions and the car is not moving, engine speed (rpm) will be lower and it will take longer for the engine to reach normal operating temperature.
