works in
all of the lock
cylinders (driver’s door, glove box,
trunk and

embedded into the key for security and theft deterrence.
The keys also come with a bar code tag. Keep the bar
code tag in a safe place. If you lose your key you will be
able to have a new one made using the bar code tag.
The replacement key must have a transponder embedded
in it.

Your vehicle has a number of new features that
can help prevent theft. You can have a lot of
trouble getting into your vehicle
if you ever lock
your key inside and you may have to damage
your vehicle to get in. Be sure you have an extra key.

If you park in a lot where someone will be watching
your vehicle, it’s best to lock it up and take your keys.
But what
if you have to leave your ignition key?
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. However, there
are ways you
can help.
Key in the Ignition
If you leave your vehicle with the keys inside, it’s an
easy target for joy riders or professional thieves -- so
don’t do it.
When you park your vehicle and open the driver’s door,
you’ll hear a chime reminding you to remove your key from the ignition and take
it with you. Always do this.
Your ignition and transaxle will be locked. And
remember to lock the doors.
Parking at Night
Park in a lighted spot, close all windows and lock your
vehicle. Remember to keep your valuables out of sight.
Put them in a storage area, or take them with you.

storage area.
Close all windows.
Lock the glove box.
Lock all the doors except the driver’s.
Then take the door key and remote keyless entry
transmitter with you.

flash, reminding you to
arm the system.

the glovebox on the left-hand side. Pressing this switch to
ON will disable the use of
the trunk, fuel door and
garage door opener.
Pressing this switch to OFF will make these features
reusable. Locking the glove
box with your key will also
help to secure your vehicle. Note that the RKE
transmitter can't open the
trunk or fuel door if the valet
lock switch is on.
PASS-Key' 111
Your vehicle is equipped with the PASS-Key I11
(Personalized Automotive Security System)
theft-deterrent system. PASS-Key
111 is a passive
theft-deterrent system. This means you don't have to do
anything different to arm or disarm the system. It works
when you insert
or remove the key from the ignition. Your PASS-Key
I11 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,
and
(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, and (2) this device
must accept any interference received, including interference
that may cause undesired operation
of the device.
Changes or modifications to this system by other than an authorized service facility could void authorization to
use this equipment.
PASS-Key
111 uses a radio frequency transponder in the
key that matches a decoder in your vehicle.
When the PASS-Key
111 system senses that someone is
using
the wrong key, it shuts down the vehicle's starter
and fuel systems. 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.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine If the battery continues to discharge, even with the
engine idling at a higher
RPM setting, some electrical
loads will automatically
be reduced. When this occurs,
the
rear window defogger may take slightly longer to
clear the glass, the heated seats may not get as warm as
they usually do and the fan blower may cut back to a
lower speed. For more battery saving information, see “Battery Saver Active Message” in the Index.
Inadvertent Power Battery Saver
This feature is designed to protect your vehicle’s battery against drainage from the interior lamps, trunk lamp,
glove box lamp, cigarette lighters or the garage door
opener. When the ignition is turned
off, the power to
these features will automatically
turn off after
10 minutes. Power will be restored for an additional
10 minutes if any door is opened, the trunk is opened or
the courtesy lamp switch is turned on.
Mirrors
Electrochromic Daymight Rearview Mirror
I
Your vehicle has an automatic electrochromic dayhight
rearview mirror.
When this feature is turned on, the mirror automatically
changes to reduce glare from headlamps behind you.
A
photocell on the mirror senses when it is becoming dark
outside. Another photocell built into the mirror face
senses when headlamps are behind you.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Curbview Assist Mirror (If Equipped)
If your vehicle is equipped with memory mirrors, it will
also be equipped with the curbview assist
mirror feature.
This feature
will cause the passenger mirror to tip when
the vehicle is in REVERSE (R). This feature is
especially useful in allowing you to view the curb when
you are parallel parking. If further adjustment is needed
after the mirror
is tipped, the mirror switch may be used
to adjust the mirror. If the mirror switch
is pressed while
the passenger mirror is tipped, the mirror will move in
that direction, but will return to its original position once
the vehicle is shifted out of
REVERSE (R).
Once the shift lever is shifted out of REVERSE (R) and
a five second delay has occurred, the passenger side
mirror will return to its original position.
To program the feature, see “Curbview Assist Mirror” in
the Index.
Storage Compartments
Glove Box
The glove box is located in front of the passenger’s seat.
To lock the glove box door, insert the master key into
the lock cylinder and
turn it to the right. Turn the key to
the left
to unlock the door.
Map Pocket
The mapktorage pockets are located on each front door as
well as on the passenger’s and driver’s front seatbacks.
