2-14 Trunk Lid Tie Down
CAUTION:
Driving with the trunk lid open can allow
dangerous CO (carbon monoxide) gas to come
into your vehicle. You can't see or smell CO. It
can cause unconsciousness and even death. If you
ever need to drive with your trunk lid open, then:

Make sure all windows, the rear seat
pass
-through and sunroof are closed.

Turn the fan on your heating and cooling
system to its highest speed, with the setting
on VENT. This forces fresh outside air into
your vehicle.

Open all air ducts on the instrument panel.
Don't use the Trunk Lid Tie Down if you are
towing a trailer, or if you are carrying a pet in the
trunk, because of the danger of CO.
This feature is used to secure the trunk lid if it will not
close completely, such as when carrying large packages
in the trunk.
1. Attach the end loop of the tie down to the retainer
located at the center of the trunk sill (see view B).
2. Attach the clip end of the tie down to the D
-ring on
the trunk lid (see view A).
3. Tighten the tie down by pulling the free end of the
cord until secure.
4. To remove the tie down, press the clip end to release
and loosen the cord.

NOTICE:
If your key seems stuck in OFF and you can't
turn it, be sure you are using the correct key; if
so, is it all the way in? Turn the key only with
your hand. Using a tool to force it could break
the key or the ignition switch. If none of this
works, then your vehicle needs service.
ACC: This position lets you use things like the radio
and the windshield wipers when the engine is off. Use
ACC if you must have your vehicle in motion while
the engine is off (for example, if your vehicle is
being pushed).
ON: This is the position for driving.
START: This position starts the engine.
Retained Accessory Power (RAP)
The following accessories on your vehicle may be used
for up to 10 minutes after the ignition key is turned from
ON to OFF:

Cellular Phone (If Equipped)

Radio

Power Windows

Steering Wheel Controls (If Equipped)

Sunroof (Option)
Power to these accessories stops after 10 minutes or if
any door is opened. If you want power for another
10 minutes, close all the doors and turn the ignition key
to ON and then back to OFF. If the cellular phone is
being used while Retained Accessory Power is in effect,
the timer is suspended (to avoid interruption of the call).
The timer resets to 10 minutes at the end of the call.

With the control at AUTO and the front door opened,
the overhead console light, front hush panel lamps and
rear footwell lamps in the door will automatically come
on. When the rear door is opened, all the front door
lighting and rear overhead lamps will come on.
When the control is at ON, the courtesy lamps are
turned on. At OFF, the lamps are turned off. (All
automatic interior lighting functions are terminated.)
When the interior lamp control is at OFF, only the
driver's door controls and ignition switch backlighting
functions will operate.
Illuminated Entry
The illuminated entry system turns on the courtesy
lamps and the backlighting to the driver's door switches
and to the ignition key when a door is opened or if you
press the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter
unlock button. The illuminated entry system works with
the light sensor and it must be dark outside in order for
the courtesy lamps or backlighting to turn on. The
courtesy lamps turn off approximately 25 seconds after
the last door is closed or after the ignition key is turned
to RUN or if the RKE transmitter lock button is pressed.
The courtesy lamps turn off approximately 40 seconds
after the doors are unlocked with the RKE transmitter if
no door is opened.
Parade Dimming
This feature prohibits the dimming of the instrument
panel lights during daylight while the parking lamps are
on. This feature works with the light sensor and is fully
automatic. When the light sensor reads darkness outside,
the instrument panel lights can be adjusted by following
the steps under ªInstrument Panel Intensity/Brightness
Control.º Backlighting to the instrument panel will also
turn on.
Reading Lamps
The reading lamps are located in the roof. These lamps
and the interior courtesy lamps come on when any door
is opened and it is dark outside. The rear lamps come on
when a rear door is opened. Press the button near the
lamps to turn them on and off.
If the reading lamps are left on, they automatically shut
off 10 minutes after the ignition has been turned off.

Garment Hooks
For your convenience, a garment hook is attached to
each rear assist handle.
Umbrella Holder (If Equipped)
The driver's front seat cushion may come equipped with
an umbrella holder. Gently slide the umbrella into the
slot located under the front portion of the driver's
seat cushion.
Floor Mats
Your vehicle is equipped with rubber-backed front and
rear floor mats. Keep them clean by vacuuming and
using a spot cleaner, if necessary. Do not machine wash.
Sunroof (Option)
There are two control switches to operate the
sunroof
-- one to open/close or express-open the
sunroof and the other to vent the sunroof. The control
switches work only when the ignition is on or when the
ignition is off and the Retained Accessory Power (RAP)
is active.
Press and hold the ROOF
switch rearward to the first
position to open the glass
panel and sunshade. The
sunshade can also be
opened or closed by hand.
To close the glass panel,
press and hold the ROOF
switch forward.
Press and release the ROOF switch rearward to the
second position to express
-open the glass panel. If you
want to stop the glass panel in a partially
-open position,
press either the ROOF or VENT switch in any direction.
Note: If you press and hold the ROOF switch in the
express
-open position for more than one second, the
sunroof will operate manually.
