Vehicle Damage Warnings
Also, in this manual you will find these notices:
Notice:These mean there is something
that could damage your vehicle.
A notice tells about something that can damage
the vehicle. Many times, this damage would not be
covered by your vehicle’s warranty, and it could
be costly. But the notice will tell what to do to help
avoid the damage.
When you read other manuals, you might see
CAUTION and NOTICE warnings in different colors
or in different words.
There are also warning labels on the vehicle.
They use the same words, CAUTION or NOTICE.
Vehicle Symbols
The vehicle has components and labels that use
symbols instead of text. Symbols are shown along
with the text describing the operation or information
relating to a specific component, control, message,
gage, or indicator.
If you need help figuring out a specific name of a
component, gage, or indicator, reference the
following topics:
•Seats and Restraint Systems in Section 1
•Features and Controls in Section 2
•Instrument Panel Overview in Section 3
•Climate Controls in Section 3
•Warning Lights, Gages, and Indicators in
Section 3
•Audio System(s) in Section 3
•Engine Compartment Overview in Section 5

S(Panic):If your vehicle has this feature, press
this button to turn on the hazard warning
flashers. The hazard warning lamps will flash for
about 28 seconds. Press this button again to
turn off the hazard warning lamps.
The lock, unlock, and panic buttons, on the
remote keyless entry transmitter, will not operate
while the key is in the ignition. The theft-deterrent
system will not activate while the key is in the
ignition.
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.
Battery Replacement
Under normal use, the battery in the remote
keyless entry transmitter should last about
two years.
The battery is weak if the LED light fails to
illuminate or if the transmitter will not work at the
normal operating range. If you have to get
close to your vehicle before the transmitter works,
it is 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 the transmitter.

Theft-Deterrent Systems
Vehicle theft is 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.
Theft-Deterrent System
Your vehicle may have a theft-deterrent system.
The theft-deterrent system will not arm when
you lock the doors using the key or the manual
door lock. It activates only when you use the
optional remote keyless entry transmitter.
Arming the System
To arm the system, do the following:
1. Turn the ignition to LOCK and remove the key
from the ignition.
If the key is inserted in the ignition, the
transmitter will not operate the theft-deterrent
system.2. Close the doors, the windows, the hood, and
the trunk or liftgate.
Make sure the windows are closed, as the
system can be activated even if the windows
are open.
3. Lock the door using the remote keyless entry
transmitter. The transmitter must be used to
activate the theft-deterrent system.
•The LED light on the transmitter will
flash once.
•All of the doors will lock.
•The hazard warning lamps will flash once
and the horn will chirp.
•The theft-deterrent mode will activate.
•The security light will flash once every
second to indicate that the theft-deterrent
system is armed. The security light is located
on the base of the driver’s door lock.
103

To avoid activating the alarm by accident, use
one of the following methods:
•Unlock the driver’s or passenger’s door using
the key.
•Press the unlock button on the remote keyless
entry transmitter.
Unlocking a door any other way will activate the
alarm when a door, the trunk or liftgate is opened.
If you do not want to arm the theft-deterrent
system, lock the vehicle using the key or the
manual door locks.
Disarming the System
To disarm the system, use one of the following
methods:
•Unlock the driver’s or passenger’s door using
the key.
•Press the unlock button on the transmitter.
- The LED light on the transmitter will
flash once.
- All of the doors will unlock.
- The hazard warning lamps will flash
twice.
- The theft-deterrent mode will deactivate.
If the door is not opened or if the engine is not
started within 30 seconds after disarming the
system with the transmitter, all of the doors will
automatically lock and the theft-deterrent mode
will reactivate.
104

LOCK:This position locks the steering wheel,
ignition, shift lever and transaxle. This is the only
position in which you can insert or remove the
key. If the steering wheel is locked, move it from
right to left and turn the key to ACC (Accessory).
ACC (Accessory):This position operates
some of the electrical accessories, such as the
radio, but not the climate control system.
ON:This is the position the switch returns after you
start the engine and release the key. The switch
stays in ON when the engine is running. But even
when the engine is not running, you can use ON to
operate the electrical accessories, and to display
some instrument panel warning lights.
START:This position starts the engine. When
the engine starts, release the key. The switch
returns to ON for normal driving. Do not turn
the key to START if the engine is running.
Even if the engine is not running, ACC and ON
allow you to operate electrical accessories,
such as the radio.Starting the Engine
Automatic Transaxle
Move the shift lever to PARK (P) or NEUTRAL (N).
Your engine does not start in any other
position — that is a safety feature. To restart
when the vehicle is already moving, use
NEUTRAL (N) only.
Notice:Shifting into PARK (P) with the vehicle
moving could damage the transaxle. Shift
into PARK (P) only when your vehicle is
stopped.
Manual Transaxle
The gear selector should be in NEUTRAL and the
parking brake engaged. Hold the clutch pedal
to the floor and start the engine. Your vehicle will
not start if the clutch pedal is not all the way
down — that is a safety feature.
107

Parking Brake
The parking brake lever is located between the
bucket seats.To set the parking brake, hold the brake pedal
down and pull up on the parking brake lever. If the
ignition is on, the brake system warning light will
come on. SeeBrake System Warning Light
on page 168.
To release the parking brake, hold the brake pedal
down. Pull the parking brake lever up until you can
press the release button. Hold the release button in
as you move the brake lever all the way down.
Notice:Driving with the parking brake on can
overheat the brake system and cause
premature wear or damage to brake system
parts. Verify that the parking brake is fully
released and the brake warning light is
off before driving.
