like the radio and windshield wipers when the engine is
off. To use ACC, push in the key and turn it toward you.
Your steering wheel will stay locked.
LOCK (B): Before you put the key into the ignition
switch, the switch is in LOCK. It's also the only position
in which you can remove your key. This position locks
your ignition, steering wheel and transaxle. It's a
theft
-deterrent feature.OFF (C): This position lets you turn off the engine but
still turn the steering wheel. It doesn't lock the steering
wheel. Use OFF if you must have your vehicle pushed
or towed.
RUN (D): This position is where the key returns after you
start your vehicle. With the engine off, you can use RUN
to display some of your warning and indicator lights.
START (E): This position starts your engine.
A warning chime will sound if you open the driver's
door when the ignition is in OFF, LOCK or ACC and
the key is in the ignition.
NOTICE:
If your key seems stuck in LOCK and you can't
turn it, be sure you are using the correct key; if
so, is it all the way in? If it is, then turn the
steering wheel left and right while you turn the
key hard. But turn the key only with your hand.
Using a tool to force it could break the key or the
ignition switch. If none of this works, then your
vehicle needs service.

When the DRL are on, only your reduced intensity
high
-beam headlamps will be on. The taillamps,
sidemarker and other lamps won't be on. Your
instrument panel won't be lit up either.
When it's dark enough outside, your DRL will turn off
and your low
-beam headlamps will illuminate. The
other lamps that come on with your headlamps will also
come on.
When it's bright enough outside, the low
-beam
headlamps will go out and DRL illuminates your
high
-beam headlamps at reduced intensity.
To idle your vehicle with the DRL off, set the parking
brake while the ignition is in OFF or LOCK. Then start
your vehicle. The DRL will stay off until you release the
parking brake.
As with any vehicle, you should turn on the regular
headlamp system when you need it.
Interior Lamps
Instrument Panel Brightness Control
You can brighten or dim the instrument panel lamps by
moving the dial (A), located next to the exterior lamps
controls. If you turn the dial all the way up, your
courtesy or interior lamps will come on.
Courtesy Lamps
When any door is opened, several lamps will come on.
These lamps are courtesy lamps. They make it easy for
you to enter and leave your vehicle. You can also turn
these lamps on by moving the dial near the headlamp
knob all the way up.
Some of the lamps have switches so you can turn them
on even when the doors are closed. These lamps are
reading lamps. To avoid draining your battery, be sure to
turn off all the reading lamps when leaving your vehicle.

If you open a door, the lamps will stay on while it's open
and then turn off automatically about 18 seconds after
you close it. If you don't open a door, the lamps will
turn off after about 18 seconds, unless you press
UNLOCK or the trunk symbol on the remote keyless
entry transmitter. If you press UNLOCK or the trunk
symbol and don't open a door, the lamps will turn off
after about 55 seconds. If you press LOCK on the
remote keyless entry transmitter, the lamps will turn off
about 17 seconds after all doors are closed.
Sustained Interior Illumination includes a feature called
Theater Dimming. With Theater Dimming, the lamps
don't just turn off at the end of the delay time. Instead,
they slowly dim during the delay time until they go out.
The delay time is canceled if you turn the ignition key to
RUN or START, so the lamps will go out right away.
When the ignition is on, Sustained Interior Illumination
is inactive, which means the courtesy lamps won't
come on.Rearview Mirror Reading Lamps
These lamps go on when you open the doors. When
the doors are closed, turn the lamps on and off with
the switches.

Your vehicle has a feature to help prevent you from
draining the battery, in case you accidentally leave the
courtesy lamps on. If you leave the dial turned all the
way up, or if you leave a door open, the lamps will
automatically turn off after 10 minutes if the ignition
is off.
This feature will not turn off the reading lamps, only the
lamps controlled by the dial. Be sure to turn off any

Your passenger's side mirror is convex. A convex
mirror's surface is curved so you can see more from the
driver's seat.

quick starts and stops.
The net isn't for larger, heavier loads. Store them in the
trunk as far forward as you can.
You can unhook the net so that it will lie flat when

rotate to the right for usage. You can only access the
ashtray by pushing on the door's right side. To remove
the rear ashtray, push down on the snuffer located in the
middle of the ashtray and lift it out.
NOTICE:
Don't put papers and other things that burn into
your ashtrays. If you do, cigarettes or other
smoking materials could set them on fire,
causing damage.
To use the lighter, just push it in all the way and let go.
When it's ready, it will pop back by itself.
NOTICE:
Don't hold a cigarette lighter in with your hand
while it is heating. If you do, it won't be able to
back away from the heating element when it's
ready. That can make it overheat, damaging the
lighter and the heating element.

The tethered cap is behind a hinged door on the driver's
side of your vehicle.
While refueling, let the cap hang by the tether below the
fuel fill opening.
To remove the cap, turn it slowly to the left
(counterclockwise). The cap has a spring in it; if you let
go of the cap too soon, it will spring back to the right.
CAUTION:
If you get gasoline on yourself and then
something ignites it, you could be badly burned.
Gasoline can spray out on you if you open the
fuel filler cap too quickly. This spray can happen
if your tank is nearly full, and is more likely in
hot weather. Open the fuel filler cap slowly and
wait for any ªhissº noise to stop. Then unscrew
the cap all the way.
Be careful not to spill gasoline. Clean gasoline from
painted surfaces as soon as possible. See ªCleaning the
Outside of Your Vehicleº in the Index.
