Features and Controls

1-4 Memory Seat, Mirrors and Steering
Wheel (Option)
The controls for these
features are located on the
driver's door panel, and are
used to program and recall
memory settings.
Adjust the driver's seat (including the recliner, lumbar,
and head restraint adjustments), both the outside mirrors
and steering wheel to a comfortable position and then
press the MEMORY SET button. Within five seconds,
press button 1 (for driver 1).
A second mirror, seating and steering wheel position
can be programmed by repeating the above steps and
pressing button 2 (for driver 2). Each time a memory
button is pressed, a single beep will sound. Each time
button 1 or 2 is pressed, the memory positions will be
recalled. Two personalized exit positions can be set by first recalling the driving position (1 or 2), positioning
the wheel and seat (except the lumbar and head
restraints) in the desired exit positions and then pressing
the MEMORY SET button and, within five seconds,
pressing the EXIT button. The exit position for either
previously set driver can be recalled by pressing the
EXIT button.
If you use the remote keyless entry transmitter to enter
your vehicle, automatic seat and mirror movement will
occur. The numbers on the back of the transmitters,
1 and 2, correspond directly to the numbers on the
buttons on the door panel and each seat and mirror
can be programmed to suit driver 1 or 2.
When the key is placed in the ignition in the OFF
position or when the unlock button is pressed on the
transmitter, the seats and mirrors will automatically
adjust to the programmed position.
Programming for automatic mirror and/or seat
movement is done through the Driver Information
Center (DIC). You can choose to either select or not
select automatic seat and/or mirror movement using the
transmitter or by placing your key in the ignition. For
programming information, see ªVehicle Programming
and Personalization Featuresº in the Index.

Door Locks
CAUTION:
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.
There are several ways to lock and unlock your vehicle.
From 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.
The manual lock is located
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.

2-6 Rear Door Security Lock
Your vehicle is equipped
with rear door security
locks that help prevent
passengers from opening
the rear doors of your
vehicle from the inside.
The locks are located on
the inside edge of each
rear door.
To Use One of These Locks
1. Move the lever on the door all the way up to the
ENGAGED position.
2. Close the door.
3. Do the same thing to the other rear door lock.
The rear doors of your vehicle cannot be opened from
the inside when this feature is in use.
To Open a Rear Door with the Security Lock
1. You may unlock the door by using the Remote Keyless
Entry (RKE) transmitter, the front door power lock
switch or by lifting the rear door manual lock.
2. Then open the door from the outside.To Cancel the Rear Door Lock
1. You may unlock the rear door by using the RKE
transmitter, the front door power lock switch or by
lifting the rear door manual lock. Open the door
from the outside.
2. Move the lever all the way down.
3. Do the same for the other rear door.
The rear door locks will now work normally.
Anti-Lockout Feature
Leaving your key in any ignition position with any door
open will disable the use of the power door locks and
the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) lock function. If you
close the doors, you can lock them using the power door
locks 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
If you are leaving the vehicle, open the door, set the
locks from the inside, get out and close the door.

2-7
Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) System
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 3 feet (1 m)
up to 30 feet (9 m) away
using the RKE transmitter
supplied with your vehicle.
Your Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) system is intended
to be used as an added vehicle entry device. It is not
intended to replace a door 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 from about 3 feet (1 m)
up to 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 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.

Check to determine if battery replacement is
necessary. See the instructions that follow.

If you're still having trouble, see your dealer or a
qualified technician for service.

2-8 Operation
When you press this button to unlock the driver's
door, the parking lamps on your vehicle will flash twice.
(You can program your vehicle so the parking lamps
will not flash. For more information, see ªVehicle
Programming and Personalization Featuresº in the
Index.) Pressing this button again within one to five
seconds will unlock the other doors. Pressing this button
will also disarm the theft
-deterrent system and turn on
the interior lamps at night.
When you press this button to lock the doors, the
parking lamps will flash once and the horn will sound
once. (You can program your vehicle so the parking
lamps will not flash and/or the horn will not sound.
For more information, see ªVehicle Programming and
Personalization Featuresº in the Index.) This also arms
the theft
-deterrent system when the ignition is turned off.
Press this button to open the trunk. (The valet lock
switch must be in the OFF position.)
Press this button to open the fuel door. (The valet
lock switch must be in the OFF position.)
The numbers on the back of the RKE transmitter
correspond to Driver 1 and Driver 2. See ªVehicle
Programming and Personalization Features º in the Index.Remote confirmation is not operational if any door
is open.
The RKE transmitter can also be used to recall the
memory seats for up to two drivers. For more
information, seeªMemory Seat, Mirrors and Steering
Wheelº in the Index.
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.
Battery Replacement
Under normal use, the battery in your transmitter should
last about two 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.

2-11 Trunk Lock Release
The trunk lock release
button is located on the left
side of the instrument panel
below the lamp controls.
To use this feature, your vehicle must be in PARK (P) or
NEUTRAL (N) (if the ignition is on) and the VALET
lockout button must be in the OFF position.
To open the trunk, press the trunk lock release
button upward.
You can also press the trunk release button on the
Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter to access the
trunk compartment.
Rear Seat Pass-Through Door (If Equipped)
The rear seat pass-through release button is located in
the trunk. To release the pass
-through door, press the
PUSH button located in the center of the trunk panel.
The rear
-seat armrest must be down for the
pass
-through door to open. You may close the door
from inside the vehicle.

2-13
Theft
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 steering wheel will be locked, and so will your
ignition and transaxle. 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.
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?

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.

Move the trunk release lockout switch to ON.

Lock the glove box.

Lock all the doors except the driver's.

Then take the door key and remote keyless entry
transmitter with you.

Lock all doors except the driver's.

Give the valet key to the valet. Then take the master
key with you.

2-14
Theft-Deterrent System
If the ignition is off and
any door is open, the
SECURITY light will
flash, reminding you to
arm the system.
To arm the system, do the following:
1. Open the door.
2. Lock the door using the power door lock switch with
the door open or the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
system. The SECURITY light should come on and
stay on.
3. Close all the doors. The SECURITY light should
go off within approximately 30 seconds.
When the theft system activates, the horn will sound and
the lamps will flash for about 30 seconds when the door
or trunk is opened without the key or RKE system.Remember, the theft
-deterrent system won't arm if you
lock the doors with a key or use the manual door lock.
It activates only if you use a power door lock with the
door open or the RKE system.
To avoid activating the alarm by accident:

The vehicle should be locked with the door key or
the manual door lock after the doors are closed if
you don't want to arm the theft
-deterrent system.

Always unlock a door with a key or use the RKE
system. (Pressing the unlock button on the RKE
transmitter disables the theft
-deterrent system.)
Unlocking a door any other way will activate the
alarm when a door or the trunk is opened.
If you activate the alarm by accident, unlock the driver's
door with your key. You can also turn off the alarm by
using the unlock button on the RKE system, or by
starting the car with a valid key.
Changes or modifications made to this system by
other than an authorized service facility could void
authorization to use the theft system.
