If your vehicle has power
door locks, press the power
door lock switch to lock or
unlock all the doors at once.
The power door lock switch will
not lock or unlock the
rear hatch and Dutch doors.
You must use the REAR
HATCH button. See “Rear Hatch and Dutch Doors
Release” in
this section.
Every vehicle with power door locks has
a pulse lock
system.
A pulse lock system works like this:
If the sliding door is open and you press the power door
lock switch, the sliding door will
not lock immediately.
After you close the door, the system comes
on and, in
about five seconds, locks the sliding door. All
models have overriding door locks. When a door is
locked,
the door handle will not work the latch. This
will help stop a door from being accidentally opened.
However, power door locks
do not affect the operation
of the hatch.
Leaving Your Vehicle
If you are leaving the vehicle, take your keys, open your
door and set the locks from inside. Then get
out and
close the door.

If your vehicle has this option, you can lock and
unlock your doors or unlock your rear hatch from about
3 feet (1 m) up to 30 feet (9 m) away using the remote
keyless entry transmitter supplied with your vehicle.
Your Keyless Entry System operates on a radio
frequency subject to Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) Rules and with Industry and Science
Canada.

NOTICE:
Your
modern vehicle doesn’t need an elaborate
“break-in.” But it will perform better in the long
run if you follow these guidelines:
0
0
0
0
Keep your speed at 55 mph (SS km/h) or
less for the
first 500 miles (SO5 km).

at any one speed -- fast or
slow
-- for the first 500 miles (SO5 km).
Don’t make full-throttle starts.
Avoid making hard stops for the first
200 miles (322 km) or so. During this time
your new brake linings aren’t yet broken in. Hard stops with new linings can mean
premature wear and earlier replacement.

a trailer during break-in. See
“Towing
a Trailer’’ in the Index for more
information. Use your ignition
key to
stan your vehicle. The

system may not work properly. Have your vehicle
serviced right away.
The air bag readiness light should flash for a few
seconds when
you turn the ignition key to RUN. If the light doesn’t
come
on then, have it fixed so it will be

the engine is
not running, as
a check
to show you the

on while you are driving, you may
have a problem with the electrical charging system.
It could indicate that
you have a loose accessory drive
belt, or another electrical problem. Have it checked
right away. Driving while this light
is on could drain
your battery.
If you must drive a short distance with the light on, be
certain to turn off all your accessories, such as the radio
