Unlocked doors can be dangerous.
Passengers
-- especially children -- can easily
open the doors and fall out. When a door is
locked, the inside handle won't open it.
Outsiders can easily enter through an unlocked
door when you slow down or stop your vehicle.
This may not be
so obvious: You increase the
chance
of being thrown out of the vehicle in a
crash
if the doors aren't locked. Wear safety belts
properly, lock your doors, and you will be far
better
off whenever you drive your vehicle.
rhere are several ways to lock and unlock your vehicle.
%om the outside, use either the key or the Remote
Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter. Because your vehicle has the theft-deterrent system, you
must unlock
the
doors with the key or RKE transmitter
to avoid setting off the alarm.
I The manual lock is on the
top
of the door panel near
the window.
Push the
manual lock lever down to
lock the door from the
inside.
To unlock the door,
raise the lock lever.
Central Door Unlocking System
When unlocking the driver's door, you can unlock the
other doors by holding the key in the turned position for
a few seconds or by quickly rotating the key twice in the
lock cylinder.

open will disable the use of the power door lock
switches and the remote keyless entry lock function. If
you close the doors,
you can lock them by using the
power door lock switches or the
RKE system. It is
always recommended that you remove the ignition key
when locking your vehicle.
The anti-lockout feature can be overridden by holding
the power door lock switch for three seconds or longer.
Leaving Your Vehicle

I
With this feature, you can
lock and unlock the doors,
unlock the trunk, open the
fuel door and turn on your
vehicle’s interior lamps
from about
30 feet (9 m)
away using the
RKE
transmitter supplied with
your vehicle.
Your
RKE system is intended to be used as a
supplementary vehicle entry device. It is not intended to
replace, but rather should be used in conjunction with, a
door lock key.
It 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.
The range of this system is about
30 feet (9 m). At times
you may notice
a decrease in range. This is normal for
any
RKE system. If the transmitter does not work or if
you have to stand closer to your vehicle for the
transmitter
to work, try this:
Check to determine if battery replacement is
necessary. See the instructions that follow.
Check the distance. You may be too far from your
vehicle. You may need to stand closer during rainy
or snowy weather.
Check the location. Other vehicles or objects may be
blocking the signal. Take a few steps to the left or
right, hold the transmitter higher, and
try again.
If you’re still having trouble, see your dealer or a
qualified technician for service.

The numbers on the back of the RKE transmitter
correspond
to Driver 1 and Driver 2. See “Memory
Seat and Personalization” in the Index. Remote
confirmation is not operational if any door
is open.
& When you press this symbol to unlock the driver’s
door, the parking lamps on your vehicle will blink twice.
(You can program your vehicle
so the parking lamps will
not flash. For more information on other program options,
see “Remote Confirmation” in the Index.) Pressing it agai\
n
within five seconds will unlock
the other doors. Pressing
this button will also disarm the optional theft-deterrent
system and
turn on the interior lamps at night.
9 When you press this symbol to lock the doors, the
parking lamps will blink once and the horn will chirp once. (You can program your vehicle
so the parking lamps
will not flash andor the horn will not sound. For more
information on other program options, see “Remote
Confirmation” in the Index.)
This also arrns the optional
theft-deterrent system when the ignition is turned
off.
a Press this symbol to open the trunk.
Press this button to open the fuel door.
The
RKE transmitter can also be used to recall the
memory seats for up to two drivers. For more information,
see “Memory Seat and Mirrors”
in the Index.
Resynchronization
Pressing the transmitter buttons numerous times
(approximately
250 times) out of the vehicle’s operating
range may cause the transmitter not
to work. Replacing
the battery and pressing the transmitter buttons out
of
range will also cause the transmitter not to work. If only
the fuel door button works, the transmitter needs to be
resynchronized to the receiver.
Do this by pressing and
holding both the
LOCK and UNLOCK buttons on the
transmitter for about eight seconds. You must be within
range of the vehicle.
Once the transmitter has been resynchronized, the horn
will chirp and the exterior lamps will flash once. The
system should now operate properly. See your dealer for
service if your transmitter still doesn’t work properly.
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 dealer. Once your dealer has coded the new transmitter, the lost transmitter will not
unlock your vehicle. Each vehicle can have only
up to
four transmitters matched to it.
All transmitters must be present when replacement or additional transmitters are being programmed.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 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 won’t
work at the normal range in any location.
If you have to
get close to your vehicle before the transmitter works,
it’s probably time to change the battery.
I NOTICE:
When replacing the battery, use care not to touch
any of the circuitry. Static from your body
transferred to these surfaces may damage
the transmitter.
1. Insert a coin into the notch near the key ring of the
transmitter.
Turn the coin to separate the two halves
of the transmitter.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Theft Parking Lots
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.

If possible, park in a busy, well lit area.
Put your valuables in
a storage area, like your
trunk or glove
box. Be sure to close and lock the
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.
SECURITY
If the ignition is off and
any door is open, the
SECURITY light will
flash, reminding you to
arm the system.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine CHECK FUEL GAGE - 50: This message will appear
when the fuel supply is less than
5 gallons (1 8.9 L) and
the display is turned off.
A single chime will also sound
when this message is displayed.
CHECK GAS CAP - 61: This message will appear if
the gas cap has not been fully tightened. You should
recheck your gas cap to ensure that it’s fully tightened.
CHECK OIL LEVEL - 36: For correct operation of
the low oil sensing system, your vehicle should be on a
level surface.
A false CHECK OIL LEVEL message
may appear if the vehicle is parked on grades. The oil
level sensing system does not check for actual oil level
if the engine has been
off for a short period of time, and
the oil
level is never sensed while the engine is running.
If the CHECK OIL LEVEL message appears, and your
vehicle has been parked
on level ground with the engine
off for at least 30 minutes, the oil level should be
checked by observing the oil dipstick. Prior to checking
the oil level, be sure the engine has been off for
a few
minutes and your vehicle is on a level surface. Then
check the dipstick and add oil if necessary. See “Engine
Oil” in the Index.
CHECK WASHER FLUID - 25: This message will
appear to indicate that you need washer solvent.
DRIVER DOOR A JAR - 140: This message will
display anytime the key is in
ON and your driver’s door
is open or ajar.
A chime will also sound when the
vehicle’s speed is greater than
3 mph (4.8 km/h).
DRIVER NO. X (1 OR 2) : This message will appear
when the remote keyless entry is used. The message will
show which driver is activating the personalization
feature. It will only stay on for five seconds.
This message will appear when the engine coolant temperature is over
262 OF ( 128 O C). Stop and allow your
vehicle to idle in
PARK (P) until it cools down and the
message is removed.
Do not increase engine speed
above a normal idle.
If it does not cool down, turn off
the engine and have it serviced before driving it again.
Severe engine damage can result from an overheated
engine. See “Engine Overheating” in the Index.
ENGINE HOT-A/C OFF - 16: This message displays
when the engine coolant becomes hotter than the normal
operating temperature. To avoid added strain on a hot
engine, the air conditioning compressor is automatically
turned off. When the coolant temperature returns to
normal, the
A/C operation will automatically resume.
You can continue to drive your vehicle.
If this message
continues to appear, have the system repaired as soon as
possible to avoid compressor damage.
