INTERIOR LUGGAGE COMPARTMENT RELEASE
Your vehicle is equipped with a mechanical interior luggage compartment
release handle that provides a means of escape for children and adults in
the event they become locked inside the luggage compartment.
Adults are advised to familiarize themselves with the operation and
location of the release handle.
To open the luggage compartment
door (lid) from the inside, pull the
illuminated ªTº shaped handle and
push up on the trunk lid. The
material that the handle is made of
will glow for hours in the darkness
of the luggage compartment
following brief exposure to ambient
light.
The ªTº shaped handle will be
located either on the luggage
compartment door (lid) or inside
the luggage compartment near the
tail lamps.
Keep vehicle doors and
luggage compartment
locked and keep keys out of a
child's reach. Unsupervised
children could lock themselves in
an open trunk and risk injury.
Children should be taught not to
play in vehicles.

On hot days, the temperature in the trunk or vehicle interior can
rise very quickly. Exposure of people or animals to these high
temperatures for even a short time can cause death or serious
heat-related injuries, including brain damage. Small children are
particularly at risk.
REMOTE ENTRY SYSTEM
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules and with RS-210 of
Industry Canada. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) This device
must accept any interference received, including interference that may
cause undesired operation.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to
operate the equipment.
Your vehicle may have an all-door remote entry system or a driver's door
only remote entry system.
The all-door remote entry system allows you to:
²lock or unlock all vehicle doors without a key.
²arm and disarm the anti-theft system. (For more information on the
anti-theft system, refer toAnti-theft systemin this chapter.)
²open the trunk.
²activate the panic alarm.

²lock the driver's door
²unlock the driver's door only without a key.
²activate the panic alarm.
²open the trunk
The remote entry features only operate with the ignition in the LOCK
position.
If there is any potential remote keyless entry problem with your vehicle,
ensureALL key fobs(remote entry transmitters) are brought to the

Programming remote transmitters
It is necessary to haveall(maximum of four Ð original and/or new) of
your remote transmitters available prior to beginning this procedure.
To program the transmitters yourself:
²Insert a key in the ignition and
turn from 1 (LOCK) to 2 (ACC)
and cycle between 2 (ACC) and 3
(ON) eight times in rapid
succession (within 10 seconds)
with the eighth turn ending in the
3 (ON) position. The doors will
lock/unlock to confirm that
programming mode has been
entered.
²Within 20 seconds, program a remote transmitter by pressing any
button on a transmitter. The doors will lock/unlock to confirm that the
remote transmitter has been programmed. (If more than 20 seconds
pass before pressing a remote transmitter button, the programming
mode will exit and the procedure will have to be repeated.)
²Repeat the previous step to program additional remote transmitters.
The doors will lock/unlock to confirm that each remote transmitter has
been programmed.
²When you have completed programming the remote transmitters, turn
the ignition to 2 (ACC) or wait 20 seconds. Again the doors will
lock/unlock to confirm programming has been completed.

STARTING
Positions of the ignition
1. LOCK, locks the steering wheel,
gearshift lever (automatic transaxle only)
and allows key removal. On vehicles with
a manual transaxle push the key in while
turning to lock.
2. ACCESSORY, allows the electrical
accessories such as the radio to operate
while the engine is not running.
3. ON, all electrical circuits operational.
Warning lights illuminated. Key position
when driving.
4.
START, cranks the engine. Release the key as soon as the engine starts.
Preparing to start your vehicle
Engine starting is controlled by the powertrain control system. This system
meets all Canadian Interference-Causing Equipment standard requirements
regulating the impulse electrical field strength of radio noise.
When starting a fuel-injected engine, avoid pressing the accelerator
before or during starting. Only use the accelerator when you have
difficulty starting the engine. For more information on starting the
vehicle, refer toStarting the enginein this chapter.
Extended idling at high engine speeds can produce very high
temperatures in the engine and exhaust system, creating the risk
of fire or other damage.
Do not park, idle, or drive your vehicle in dry grass or other dry
ground cover. The emission system heats up the engine
compartment and exhaust system, which can start a fire.
Do not start your vehicle in a closed garage or in other enclosed
areas. Exhaust fumes can be toxic. Always open the garage door
before you start the engine. SeeGuarding against exhaust fumesin
this chapter for more instructions.
