Section 2 Features and Controls
2-1

Lockout Protection
If your vehicle is equipped with remote keyless entry,
you have lockout protection. This feature stops the
power door locks from locking when the keys are in the
ignition and the door is open.
If the power door lock switch is pressed when a door is
open and the key is in the ignition, all the doors will
lock and the driver's door will unlock.
Leaving Your Vehicle
If you are leaving the vehicle, open your door and set
the locks from the inside. Then get out and close
the door.
Trunk
To unlock the trunk from the outside, insert the key and
turn the trunk lock cylinder or use the remote keyless
entry transmitter if your vehicle has one.
When closing the trunk, close from the center to ensure
it fully latches. Although you may use one hand to
unlock the trunk, it is recommended that two hands on
the upper surface be used to close the 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.

reasons:

becomes smoother, the disc should play.
·It's very hot. When the temperature returns to
normal, the disc should play.
·The disc is dirty, scratched, wet or upside down.

entry transmitter for the identi®ed driver (1 or 2).
