{Warning
Unlocked doors can be dangerous.
.Passengers, especially children, can
easily open the doors and fall out of a
moving vehicle. The doors can be
unlocked and opened while the vehicle
is moving. The chance of being thrown
out of the vehicle in a crash is
increased if the doors are not locked.
So, all passengers should wear seat
belts properly and the doors should be
locked whenever the vehicle is driven.
.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 the vehicle whenever
leaving it.
.Outsiders can easily enter through an
unlocked door when you slow down
or stop the vehicle. Locking the doors
can help prevent this from happening.To open the rear doors from the outside,
pull the handle toward you to open the
passenger side rear door first.

theft-deterrent system.
If the engine does not start and the security
light comes on, the key may have a
damaged transponder. Turn the ignition off
and try again.
If the engine still does not start, and the
key appears to be undamaged, try another
ignition key. If the engine still does not
start with the other key, the vehicle needs
service. If the vehicle does start, the first
key may be faulty. See your dealer or a
locksmith who can service the PASS-Key III+
to have a new key made.
