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.
Your vehicle
may be equipped with Remote Keyless
Entry. For more information, see “Remote Keyless
Entry” later in this section.
To unlock your door from the outside, use your key.
To lock the front doors and
sliding side door from the
inside, slide the lock levers
down. To unlock the front
doors and the sliding side
door from the inside, slide
the lock levers up.
Power Door Locks (If Equipped)
If your vehicle has power
door locks, press the power
door lock switch to lock
or
unlock all the doors at once.
2-6
Page 91 of 414
Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine The power door lock switch will lock or unlock the rear
hatch and Dutch doors. See “Hatch 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 inside door handle will not work the
latch. This will help stop a door from being
accidentally opened.
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.
Keyless Entry System (Option)
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 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.
2-7
Page 92 of 414
Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 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 devict .
Changes or modifications to this system by other than an
authorized service facility could void authorization to
use this equipment.
This system has a range of 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 remote keyless entry
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
or
transmitter resynchronization 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.
Operation
When you press UNLOCK, the driver’s door will
unlock automatically. If you press
UNLOCK again
within five seconds, all doors will unlock. All doors
will lock when
LOCK is pressed. The interior lamps
will come on whenever you lock or unlock the doors.
Pressing the REAR
2X button twice within three
seconds will unlock the rear cargo doors.
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 only two transmitters
matched to it.

Under normal use, the battery in your remote keyless
entry 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.
NOTICE:
When replacing the battery, use care not to touch
any of the circuitry. Static from your body
transferred to these surfaces may damage
I the transmitter. I
To replace the battery:
L.
Use one PanasonicB three-volt, type CR2032, or
equivalent battery.
Your transmitter housing snaps apart for ease in
battery replacement. 2.
3.
4.
Insert a small coin, or flathead screwdriver, to
separate the bottom
of the transmitter from the top.
Remove the battery and replace it with a new one,
making sure the positive
(+) side of the battery is
facing down.
Snap the top and bottom together.
Test the operation of the transmitter with your
vehicle. If the transmitter does not work, try
synchronizing the transmitter with the receiver.

It can be dangerous to drive with the rear
swing-out windows, rear hatch or rear doors
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 rear swing-out windows,
rear hatch or rear doors open or if electrical wiring
or other cable connections must pass through the
seal between the body and the rear swing-out
windows, rear hatch or rear doors:
Make sure all windows are shut.
Turn the fan on your heating or cooling
system to its highest speed with the setting
on anything but MAX A/C. That will force
outside air into your vehicle. See “Comfort
Controls” in the Index.

See “Engine Exhaust’’ in the Index.
Hatch Release (Option)
You can use your key to unlock the hatch and all the
other doors from the outside. Insert the key into the
hatch release button and turn it to the left. All doors
will unlock.
You may also use the Keyless Entry System
described earlier.
The hatch can be opened or closed without a key
if the
door lock system is unlocked.
To open the hatch, unlock it, press the button and lift the
handle located in the center of the door.
