Infants and Young Children
Everyone in a vehicle needs protection! This
includes infants and all other children. Neither the
distance traveled nor the age and size of the
traveler changes the need, for everyone, to use
safety restraints. In fact, the law in every state
in the United States and in every Canadian
province says children up to some age must be
restrained while in a vehicle.{CAUTION:
Children can be seriously injured or
strangled if a shoulder belt is wrapped
around their neck and the safety belt
continues to tighten. Never leave children
unattended in a vehicle and never allow
children to play with the safety belts.
Every time infants and young children ride in
vehicles, they should have the protection provided
by appropriate restraints. Young children should
not use the vehicle’s adult safety belts alone,
unless there is no other choice. Instead, they need
to use a child restraint.

Your vehicle can be programmed so that the
parking lamps or Daytime Running Lamps (DRL)
will ash and/or the horn will sound when you
lock the doors with the remote keyless entry
transmitter. See your retailer for more information
on programming this feature.
"(Unlock):Press this button on the remote
keyless entry transmitter to unlock the driver’s
door. This also disarms the content theft-deterrent
system. SeeContent Theft-Deterrent on
page 107for information on disarming the content
theft-deterrent system. Press the button again
within 5 seconds to unlock the rest of the doors.
Your vehicle can be programmed so that the
parking lamps or DRL will ash and/or the horn will
sound when you unlock the doors with the remote
keyless entry transmitter. See your retailer for more
information on programming this feature.
L(Panic Alarm):Press the button with the horn
symbol when the ignition is turned off. The horn
will sound and the parking lamps or DRL and
dome lamp will ash for up to two minutes.
To stop the panic alarm, press this button again.
Matching Transmitter(s) to Your
Vehicle
Each remote keyless entry transmitter is coded to
prevent another transmitter from unlocking your
vehicle. If a transmitter is lost or stolen, a
replacement can be purchased through your
retailer. Remember to bring any remaining
transmitters with you when you go to your retailer.
When the retailer matches the replacement
transmitter to your vehicle, any remaining
transmitters must also be matched. Once your
retailer has coded the new transmitter, the lost
transmitter will not unlock your vehicle. Each
vehicle can have a maximum of four transmitters
matched to it.
Battery Replacement
Under normal use, the battery in your remote
keyless entry transmitter should last about
four years.
You can tell the battery is weak if the transmitter
will not work at the normal range in any location.
If you have to get close to your vehicle before
the transmitter works, it is probably time to change
the battery.

Theft-Deterrent Systems
Vehicle theft is big business, especially in some
cities. Although your vehicle has a number of
theft-deterrent features, we know that nothing
we put on it can make it impossible to steal.
Content Theft-Deterrent
The remote keyless entry transmitter is used to
arm/disarm the theft-deterrent system. Your
vehicle’s theft-deterrent system can be
programmed to three different modes.
Active Arming:The system will arm when the
lock button on the remote keyless entry transmitter
is pressed. The system will disarm when the
unlock button is pressed.
Passive Arming:The system will arm itself
one minute after the ignition is turned off and
the driver’s door has been opened and closed.
If the lock button on the transmitter is pressed
before the minute has passed, the system will
arm immediately. The system will disarm when
the unlock button is pressed.
Security System Disable:The system will
not arm.To change the mode that your vehicle is
programmed to, do the following:
1. Turn the ignition to RUN or ACC.
2. Press the panic alarm button on the
transmitter slowly four times within
ve seconds.
3. You must complete one of the following within
three seconds to change the mode.To select the active arming mode, press the
lock button on the transmitter.
To select the passive arming mode, press
the lock button on the transmitter twice
within 3 seconds.
To select the security system disable mode,
press the unlock button on the transmitter.
A chime will sound once the mode has been
selected.
If you accidentally set off the alarm when
entering/exiting the vehicle, you can shut it off
by pressing any button on the remote keyless entry
transmitter other than the panic alarm button.
If you hear three horn chirps when you press the
unlock button on the transmitter, that means the
vehicle’s alarm was triggered while you were away.

If the engine does not start and the key is held
in START for many seconds, cranking will be
stopped after 15 seconds to prevent cranking
motor damage. To prevent gear damage, this
system also prevents cranking if the engine is
already running. Engine cranking can be
stopped by turning the ignition switch to the
ACC or LOCK position.
Notice:Cranking the engine for long periods of
time, by returning the key to the START position
immediately after cranking has ended, can
overheat and damage the cranking motor,
and drain the battery. Wait at least 15 seconds
between each try, to allow the cranking motor
to cool down.
2. If the engine does not start after 5-10 seconds,
especially in very cold weather (below 0°F
or−18°C), it could be ooded with too much
gasoline. Try pushing the accelerator pedal all
the way to the oor and holding it there as youhold the key in START for up to a maximum of
15 seconds. Wait at least 15 seconds between
each try, to allow the cranking motor to cool
down. When the engine starts, let go of the key
and accelerator. If the vehicle starts briey but
then stops again, do the same thing. This
clears the extra gasoline from the engine.
Do not race the engine immediately after
starting it. Operate the engine and transaxle
gently until the oil warms up and lubricates all
moving parts.
Notice:Your engine is designed to work with
the electronics in your vehicle. If you add
electrical parts or accessories, you could
change the way the engine operates. Before
adding electrical equipment, check with
your retailer. If you do not, your engine might
not perform properly. Any resulting damage
would not be covered by your vehicle’s
warranty.

Shift Speeds
{CAUTION:
If you skip a gear when you downshift,
you could lose control of your vehicle.
You could injure yourself or others.
Do not shift down more than one gear
at a time when you downshift.
Up-Shift Light
If your vehicle has a
manual transaxle, you
may have an up-shift
light. This light will show
you when to shift to
the next higher gear for
the best fuel economy.When this light comes on, you can shift to the next
higher gear if weather, road and traffic conditions let
you. For the best fuel economy, accelerate slowly
and shift when the light comes on.
While you accelerate, it is normal for the light to
go on and off if you quickly change the position
of the accelerator. Ignore the light when you
downshift.
Notice:If you skip more than one gear when
you downshift, or if you race the engine
when you release the clutch pedal while
downshifting, you could damage the engine,
clutch, driveshaft, or the transaxle. Do not skip
gears or race the engine when downshifting.

To adjust between Fahrenheit and Celsius, do the
following:
1. Press and hold the on/off button until either a
ashing °F or °C appears.
2. Press the button again to change the display
to the desired unit of measurement. After
approximately four seconds of inactivity, the
new unit will be locked in and the display
will return.
Compass Calibration
The compass may need calibration from time
to time.
In order to calibrate, CAL must be displayed in the
mirror compass windows. If CAL is not displayed,
push in the on/off button for approximately
nine seconds or until CAL is displayed.
The compass can be calibrated by driving the
vehicle in circles at 5 mph (8 km/h) or less until
the display reads a direction, or the word CAL
disappears.
Compass Variance
The mirror is set in zone eight upon leaving the
factory. It will be necessary to adjust the compass
to compensate for compass variance if you live
outside of zone eight. Under certain circumstances,
as during a long distance cross-country trip, it will
be necessary to adjust for compass variance.
Compass variance is the difference between earth’s
magnetic north and true geographic north. If not
adjusted to account for compass variance, your
compass could give false readings.
To adjust for compass variance do the following:
1. Find your current location and variance
zone number on the following zone map.

Rear Window Wiper/Washer
The band on the wiper lever with the smaller
arrow operates the rear wiper/washer.
9(Off):Turn the band to this position to turn off
the rear wiper.
Z(Rear Wiper):Turn the band with the smaller
arrow to this position to turn on the rear wiper.
To set for a shorter or longer delay between wipes,
turn the other band with the larger arrow pointing
to the numbers (1, 2, or 3). Select 3 for the
most frequent movement; select 1 for the least
frequent. The band with the arrow pointing to
the numbers (1, 2, or 3) will affect both the front
and rear wipers if they are on at the same time.
Y(Wash):Turn and hold the band in this
position to spray washer uid on the rear window.
The rear wiper will also come on. Release the
band when enough uid has been sprayed on the
window. The rear wiper will run a few additional
times after you release it.
The rear window washer uses the same uid
bottle as the windshield washer. However, the
rear window washer will run out of uid before the
windshield washer. If you can wash your windshield
but not your rear window, check the uid level.
Cruise Control
With cruise control, you can maintain a speed
of about 25 mph (40 km/h) or more without
keeping your foot on the accelerator. This can
really help on long trips. Cruise control does not
work at speeds below 25 mph (40 km/h).
{CAUTION:
Cruise control can be dangerous where
you cannot drive safely at a steady speed.
So, do not use your cruise control on
winding roads or in heavy traffic.
Cruise control can be dangerous on
slippery roads. On such roads, fast
changes in tire traction can cause
excessive wheel slip, and you could
lose control. Do not use cruise control
on slippery roads.
