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. Remember to bring
any remaining transmitters with you when you go to
your dealer. When the dealer matches the replacement
transmitter to your vehicle, any remaining transmitters
must also be matched. Once your dealer 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.
Vehicles are delivered with two transmitters. See your
dealer for information on how to obtain additional
transmitters.

Trunk
{CAUTION:
It can be dangerous to drive with the trunk lid
open because carbon monoxide (CO) gas can
come into your vehicle. You can't see or smell
CO. It can cause unconsciousness and even
death. If you must drive with the trunk lid open
or if electrical wiring or other cable
connections must pass through the seal
between the body and the trunk lid:
·Make sure all other windows are shut.
·Turn the fan on your heating or cooling
system to its highest speed and select the
control setting that will force outside air
into your vehicle. See ªClimate Control
Systemº in the Index.
·If you have air outlets on or under the
instrument panel, open them all the way.
See ªEngine Exhaustº in the Index.
Trunk Lock Release

button is located on the left
side of the instrument
panel below the lamp
controls.

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 AUTO and temperature between
65ÉF (18ÉC) and 85ÉF (29ÉC). 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 because of the danger of CO.Your vehicle may be equipped with a trunk-lid tie down.
This feature is used to secure the trunk lid if it will
not close completely, such as when carrying large
packages in the trunk. Use the following steps to secure
the trunk lid:
1. Attach the clip end of the tie down to the D ring on
the trunk lid (A).
2. Attach the hook end of the tie down to the striker
located at the center of the trunk sill (B).
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 release
and loosen the cord.

as an anchor point when securing items in the trunk.
Improper use of the emergency trunk release
handle could damage it.

inside the trunk on the latch. This handle will glow
following exposure to light. Pull the release handle
upward to open the trunk from the inside.

Theft-Deterrent Systems
Vehicle theft is a 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.
The SECURITY light is
located on the instrument
panel cluster.
If the ignition is off and any door is open, the SECURITY
light will ¯ash, 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
transmitter. The SECURITY light should come on
and stay on.
3. Close all the doors. The SECURITY light should go
off within approximately 30 seconds.If a door or a trunk is opened without a key or a remote
keyless entry transmitter, the horn will sound and the
lamps will ¯ash for about 30 seconds.
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 remote keyless entry transmitter.
To avoid activating the alarm by accident do the
following:
·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 remote
keyless entry transmitter. Pressing the unlock
button on the remote keyless entry 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 remote keyless entry
transmitter, or by starting the car with a valid key.
Changes or modi®cations made to this system by other
than an authorized service facility could void
authorization to use the theft system.
2-19

Testing the Alarm
1. From inside the vehicle, roll down the window, then
get out of the vehicle, keeping the door open.
2. From outside of the vehicle, with the door open,
lock the vehicle using the power door lock or the
remote keyless entry transmitter and close the
door. Wait 30 seconds until the SECURITY lamp
goes off.
3. Reach in and unlock the door using the manual
lock and open the door. The horn will sound and
the hazard lights will ¯ash.
You can turn off the alarm by unlocking the driver's door
with your key, using the unlock button on the remote
keyless entry transmitter or by starting the car with
a valid key.
If the alarm does not sound when it should, check to
see if the horn works. The horn fuse may be blown. To
replace the fuse, see
Fuses and Circuit Breakers on
page 5-93. If the fuse does not need to be replaced, you
may need to have your vehicle serviced.
To reduce the possibility of theft, always arm the
theft-deterrent system when leaving your vehicle.
Valet Lockout Switch
The valet lockout switch
is located inside the
glove box.
Press the switch to ON to disable the use of the trunk,
fuel door, garage door opener and cellular telephone
(option). The remote keyless entry transmitter cannot
open the trunk if the valet lockout switch is in ON.
Press this switch to OFF to enable the use of the trunk,
fuel door, garage door opener and optional cellular
telephone.
Locking the glove box with your key will also help to
secure your vehicle.

Center Console Storage Area
The center console comes with a storage tray, a
storage compartment for CDs or tapes, a dual cupholder
that unfolds, a coinholder, an optional phone and an
armrest. The cupholder can be opened by pressing on
the surface panel located in front of the armrest and
unfolding it. Close the lid to secure it.
Map Pocket
The map/storage pockets are located on each front door
as well as on the passenger's and driver's seatbacks.
Assist Handles
A handle above each door can be used when getting
out of your vehicle.
Garment Hooks
For your convenience, a garment hook is attached to
each rear assist handle.
Umbrella Holder
The driver's and passenger's front seat cushion may be
equipped with an umbrella holder. Gently slide the
umbrella into the slot located under the front portion of
the driver's or passenger's seat cushion.
Floor Mats
Your vehicle is equipped with rubber-backed front and
rear ¯oor mats. Keep them clean by vacuuming and using
a spot cleaner, if necessary. Do not machine wash.
Convenience Net
Your vehicle may be equipped with a convenience net.
The net attaches to the ¯oor of the trunk. Put small
loads, like grocery bags, behind the net. It can help keep
them from falling over during sharp turns or quick
starts and stops.
The net is not for larger, heavier loads. Store them in the
trunk as far forward as you can. When not using the net,
hook the net to the tabs securing it to the sill plate.
