Remote Power Sliding Door Operation
+
(Power Sliding Door):If your vehicle
has one power sliding door, the remote keyless
entry transmitter will have a button with a van
symbol on it. Press and hold this button to open or
close the power sliding door. SeePower Sliding
Door (PSD) on page 112.
*+(Dual Power Sliding Doors):If your
vehicle has dual power sliding doors, your remote
keyless entry transmitter will have two buttons
that have a van symbol on them. The van symbol
on the left is for the driver’s side sliding door
and the van symbol on the right is for the
passenger’s side sliding door. Press and hold the
passenger’s or driver’s side button, with the
van symbol on it, to open or close the selected
power sliding door. SeePower Sliding Door (PSD)
on page 112.You can operate the power sliding door(s) with the
remote keyless entry transmitter even if the
power sliding door override switch(es), on the
overhead console, are active or inactive.
SeePower Sliding Door (PSD) on page 112for
additional information.
If the sliding door is closed and the power sliding
door button on the transmitter is pressed and
held, the vehicle’s doors will be unlocked and then
the power sliding door will open. If the power
sliding door has been locked using the manual
door lock lever, you will need to unlock the power
sliding door before it can be opened with the
remote keyless entry transmitter sliding door
button.
If your vehicle’s fuel ller door is opened, the
driver’s side power sliding door will not open
completely. Do not try to force the door. Once the
fuel ller door is closed, the driver’s side sliding
door can be opened normally.
101

2. Gently pry the battery out of the transmitter.
Do not use the metal anges to pop out the
battery.
3. Replace the battery.
4. Reassemble the transmitter. Make sure the
halves are snapped together tightly so water
will not get in.
5. Press and hold the lock and unlock buttons
for seven seconds to synchronize the
transmitter.
6. Check the transmitter operation.
Remote Vehicle Start
This feature allows you to start the engine from
outside the vehicle. It may also turn the rear
window defogger if the outside temperature is
below 45°F (7°C).
Laws in some local communities may restrict the
use of remote starters. For example, some
laws may require a person using remote start to
have the vehicle in view when doing so. Check
local regulations for any requirements on remote
starting of vehicles.
/(Remote Vehicle Start):If your vehicle has
the remote vehicle start feature, the remote
keyless entry transmitter will have a button with
this symbol on it.
An increased range of operation is provided with
the remote keyless entry transmitter that has
the remote vehicle start button.
If your vehicle is low on fuel, do not use the
remote start feature. The vehicle may run out of
fuel. The vehicle may also run out of fuel if
the vehicle is running for a long period of time
when parked on an incline facing downward with a
low fuel condition.
103

Automatic Door Lock
All of the doors will lock automatically when you
move the shift lever out of PARK (P). This feature
cannot be disabled.
If someone needs to get out of the vehicle while it
is not in PARK (P), shift into PARK (P), or,
have that person use the manual lever or the
power door lock switch. When the door is closed
again, it will lock when the vehicle exceeds
5 mph (8 km/h).
With automatic door locks, you can lock or unlock
the doors at any time, either manually or by
using the power door lock switches.
Programmable Automatic Door
Unlock
Your vehicle was programmed so that all doors
will unlock automatically when the shift lever
is moved into PARK (P).
To change the way the automatic door unlocking
operates, seeDIC Vehicle Personalization
(Uplevel Only) on page 249.
Lockout Protection
The lockout protection feature makes it more
difficult to lock the key in the vehicle. If the driver’s
door is open while the key is in the ignition, the door
cannot be locked with the power door lock switch.
This feature cannot guarantee that you will never be
locked out of the vehicle. If the key is not left in the
ignition, or, if the manual door lock is used, the key
could still be locked inside the vehicle. Always
remember to take the key with you.
Dual Sliding Doors
To open either sliding door from outside the vehicle,
pull the handle out and then pull the door toward the
rear. If you slide the door all the way back, the door
will rest in a detent position.
To move the door forward, you must rst pull the
door past the open detent position.
The driver’s side sliding door is designed to open
only a little if the fuel door is open. If this ever
happens, do not try to force the sliding door. Just
close the driver’s side sliding door. Then when the
fuel ller door is closed, the driver’s side sliding
door can be opened normally.
109

If the power sliding door(s) is open or in the
process of closing when you shift out of PARK (P),
a chime will sound. This is a warning that the
sliding door(s) is not completely closed. Also, the
Driver Information Center (DIC) will indicate if
the door is open. SeeDIC Warnings and
Messages on page 230. Stop the vehicle and
close the door.
{CAUTION:
If you shift the transaxle out of PARK (P)
and accelerate before the power sliding
door latches closed, the door may reverse
to the open position. A child or others
could fall out of the vehicle and be
injured. Always make sure the power
sliding door is closed and latched before
you drive away.If an object obstructs the power sliding door(s) while
it is closing, the door will automatically reverse to
the open position, provided it meets sufficient
resistance. Resistance must be as strong as the
force of the closing door, or stronger. The force of
the closing door increases signicantly as the door
approaches the latched position.
The driver’s side sliding door is designed to open
only a little if the fuel door is open. If this ever
happens, do not try to force the sliding door. When
the fuel ller door is closed, the driver’s side
sliding door can be opened normally.
116

PASS-Key®III
Your PASS-Key®III system operates on a radio
frequency subject to Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) Rules and with Industry
Canada.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC
Rules. Operation is subject to the following
two conditions:
1. This device may not cause harmful
interference.
2. This device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may
cause undesired operation.
This device complies with RSS-210 of Industry
Canada. Operation is subject to the following two
conditions:
1. This device may not cause interference.
2. This device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may
cause undesired operation of the device.
Changes or modications to this system by other
than an authorized service facility could void
authorization to use this equipment.PASS-Key
®III uses a radio frequency transponder
in the key that matches a decoder in your
vehicle.
PASS-Key®III Operation
Your vehicle is equipped
with the PASS-Key®III
(Personalized
Automotive Security
System) theft-deterrent
system. PASS-Key
®III
is a passive theft
deterrent system.
This means you do not have to do anything
different to arm or disarm the system. It works
when you insert or remove the key from the
ignition.
When the PASS-Key
®III system senses that
someone is using the wrong key, it shuts down the
vehicle’s starter and fuel systems.
126

The starter will not work and fuel will stop being
delivered to the engine. Anyone using a
trial-and-error method to start the vehicle will be
discouraged because of the high number of
electrical key codes.
If the engine does not start and the security
message 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.
At this time, you may also want to check the
instrument panel PASS KEY fuse. If the engine still
does not start with the other key, your vehicle
needs service. If your vehicle does start, the rst
key may be faulty. See your dealer or a locksmith
who can service the PASS-Key
®III to have a new
key made. SeeFuses and Circuit Breakers on
page 497.
It is possible for the PASS-Key
®III decoder to learn
the transponder value of a new or replacement key.
Up to 10 keys may be programmed for the vehicle.
This procedure is for learning additional keys only.
If all the currently programmed keys are lost or do
not operate, you must see your dealer or a
locksmith who can service PASS-Key
®III to have
keys made and programmed to the system.See your dealer or a locksmith who can service
PASS-Key
®III to get a new key blank that is
cut exactly as the ignition key that operates the
system.
To program the new key, do the following:
1. Verify the new key has PK3 stamped on it.
2. Insert the original, already programmed
key into the ignition lock cylinder and start the
engine. If the engine will not start, see your
dealer for service.
3. After the engine has started, turn the key to
LOCK and remove the key.
4. Insert the key to be programmed and turn it to
RUN within 10 seconds of removing the
previous key.
5. The security message will turn off once the
key has been programmed. It may not be
apparent that the security message went on
due to how quickly the key is programmed.
6. Repeat Steps 1 through 4 if additional keys
are to be programmed.
127

Engine Coolant Heater
Your vehicle may have an engine coolant heater.
In very cold weather, 0°F (−18°C) or colder,
the engine coolant heater can help. You will get
easier starting and better fuel economy during
engine warm-up. Usually, the coolant heater
should be plugged in a minimum of four hours
prior to starting your vehicle. At temperatures
above 32°F (0°C), use of the coolant heater is not
required. Your vehicle may also have an internal
thermostat in the plug end of the cord. This
will prevent operation of the engine coolant heater
when the temperature is at or above 0°F (−18°C)
as noted on the cord.
To Use the Engine Coolant Heater
1. Turn off the engine.
2. Open the hood and unwrap the electrical
cord. The electrical cord is located on the
driver’s side of the engine compartment.
3. Plug it into a normal, grounded 110-volt AC
outlet.
{CAUTION:
Plugging the cord into an ungrounded
outlet could cause an electrical shock.
Also, the wrong kind of extension cord
could overheat and cause a re. You
could be seriously injured. Plug the cord
into a properly grounded three-prong
110-volt AC outlet. If the cord will not
reach, use a heavy-duty three-prong
extension cord rated for at least 15 amps.
4. Before starting the engine, be sure to unplug
and store the cord as it was before to keep it
away from moving engine parts. If you do
not, it could be damaged.
How long should you keep the coolant heater
plugged in? The answer depends on the outside
temperature, the kind of oil you have, and
some other things. Instead of trying to list
everything here, we ask that you contact your
dealer in the area where you will be parking your
vehicle. The dealer can give you the best
advice for that particular area.

DRIVE (D):This position is for normal driving. It
provides the best fuel economy for your vehicle. If
you need more power for passing, and you are:
Going less than 35 mph (55 km/h), push
your accelerator pedal about halfway down.
Going about 35 mph (55 km/h) or more, push
the accelerator all the way down.
The vehicle will shift down to the next gear
and have more power.
Downshifting the transaxle in slippery road
conditions could result in skidding, see Skidding
underLoss of Control on page 362
Notice:If your vehicle seems to start up
rather slowly or not shift gears when you go
faster, and you continue to drive your vehicle
that way, you could damage the transaxle.
Have your vehicle serviced right away. You can
drive in SECOND (2) when you are driving
less than 35 mph (55 km/h) and DRIVE (D) for
higher speeds until then.
Warm-Up Shift
Your vehicle has a computer controlled transaxle
designed to warm up the engine faster when
the outside temperature is 35°F (2°C) or colder.
You may notice that the transaxle will shift at
a higher vehicle speed until the engine is warmed
up. This is a normal condition designed to
provide heat to the passenger compartment and
defrost the windows more quickly. SeeClimate
Control System on page 193andDual Climate
Control System on page 197for more information.
THIRD (3):This position is also used for normal
driving. It reduces vehicle speed more than
DRIVE (D) without using your brakes. You might
choose THIRD (3) instead of DRIVE (D) when
driving on hilly, winding roads, when towing
a trailer, so there is less shifting between gears
and when going down a steep hill.
