child restraint. Secure the child in the child restraint
when and as the instructions say.

portions of the vehicle's safety belt through or
around the restraint. The child restraint instructions
will show you how.
If the shoulder belt goes in front of the child's face

positioned so you would be able to unbuckle the
safety belt quickly if you ever had to.

the retractor to set the lock.5. To tighten the belt, feed the shoulder belt back into the

directions to be sure it is secure.
To remove the child restraint, just unbuckle the vehicle's

1-51 Securing a Child Restraint in the Right
Front Seat Position
Your vehicle has a right front passenger air bag. Never
put a rear
-facing child restraint in this seat. Here's why:
CAUTION:
A child in a rear-facing child restraint can be
seriously injured or killed if the right front
passenger's air bag inflates. This is because the
back of the rear
-facing child restraint would be
very close to the inflating air bag. Always secure
a rear
-facing child restraint in the rear seat.
Although a rear seat is a safer place, you can secure a
forward
-facing child restraint in the right front seat.
You'll be using the lap
-shoulder belt. See the earlier
part about the top strap if the child restraint has one.
Be sure to follow the instructions that came with the
child restraint. Secure the child in the child restraint
when and as the instructions say.
1. Because your vehicle has a right front passenger
air bag, always move the seat as far back as it will
go before securing a forward
-facing child restraint.
See ªSeatsº in the Index.
2. Put the restraint on the seat.
3. Pick up the latch plate, and run the lap and shoulder
portions of the vehicle's safety belt through or
around the restraint. The child restraint instructions
will show you how.
If the shoulder belt goes in front of the child's face
or neck, put it behind the child restraint.

1-53
6. To tighten the belt, feed the shoulder belt back into
the retractor while you push down on the child
restraint. You may find it helpful to use your
knee to push down on the child restraint as you
tighten the belt.
7. Push and pull the child restraint in different
directions to be sure it is secure.
To remove the child restraint, just unbuckle the vehicle's
safety belt and let it go back all the way. The safety belt
will move freely again and be ready to work for an adult
or larger child passenger.

2-9 Rear Door Security Locks (Four-Door Models)
Your vehicle is equipped with rear door security locks
that help prevent passengers from opening the rear doors
of your vehicle from the inside.
The rear security door locks
are located on the inside of
the rear doors.
To Use One of These Locks
1. Move the lever down to engage the lock.
2. Close the door.
3. Do the same to the other rear door lock.
The rear doors of your vehicle cannot be opened from
the inside when this feature is in use.To Open a Rear Door With the Security Lock
If you want to open a rear door when the security lock is
on, unlock the door from the inside, then open the door
from the outside.
If you don't cancel the security lock feature, adults or
older children who ride in the rear won't be able to open
the rear door from the inside. You should let adults and
older children know how these security locks work, and
how to cancel the locks.
To Cancel a Rear Door Lock
1. Unlock the door from the inside and open the door
from the outside.
2. Move the lever up to disengage the lock.
3. Do the same for the other rear door.
The rear door locks will now work normally.
Leaving Your Vehicle
If you are leaving the vehicle, take your key, open your
door and set the locks from inside. Then get out and
close the door.

2-13
To replace the battery in the transmitter do the following:
1. Use a coin or similar object to separate the bottom
half from the top half of the transmitter.
2. Remove the battery and replace it with the new one.
Make sure the positive side of the battery faces
down. For battery replacement, use a 3
-volt battery,
type CR2032 or equivalent.
3. Read the instructions inside the case.
4. Put the two halves back together. Make sure the
cover is on tight so water won't get in.
5. Check the operation of the transmitter with your
vehicle. If the transmitter does not work, try
resynchronizing the transmitter with the receiver.
See ªResynchronizationº following.
Resynchronization
Your remote keyless entry system is equipped with a
security system that prevents anyone from recording and
playing back your signal. The transmitter does not send
the same signal twice to the receiver. The receiver will
not respond to a signal that has been sent to it more
than once.
To resynchronize your transmitter and receiver, follow
these directions:
1. Stand close to your vehicle.
2. Press and hold the LOCK and UNLOCK buttons
on the transmitter at the same time.
3. Hold the buttons for at least seven seconds.
During this time, the doors should lock and
unlock once. This confirms the resynchronization.
If the doors do not lock and unlock, see your dealer
for service.

2-50 Luggage Compartment Cover (If Equipped)
Luggage or other cargo placed in the luggage
compartment can be hidden from view by a luggage
compartment cover. However, the luggage compartment
covers are not designed to support items loaded on top
of them, and should not be used as a shelf.
See ªLoading Your Vehicleº in the Index for
more information.
Lockable Storage Compartment and
Cargo Cover (Option)
If you have a two-door vehicle and it has the optional
lockable storage compartment, you can use it to cover
and secure items in the cargo area of your vehicle.
The closeout panel can be removed to allow for extra
cargo space.
To remove the close
-out panel, do the following:
1. Turn the two knobs
and remove them from
each lower corner of the
cargo area.
2. Release the tension bows on both sides of the
convertible top. See ªConvertible Topº later in
this section for more information.

2-51
3. Loosen the lower rear corners of the convertible top.
4. Remove the rear window. See ªRemoving and
Installing Your Rear Windowº later in this section.5. Carefully lift the panel out of the cargo area.
6. Put the knobs back into the mounting holes for
storage while the panel is out of the vehicle.
CAUTION:
An improperly stored cargo cover could be thrown
about the vehicle during a collision or sudden
maneuver. You or others could be injured. If you
remove the cover, always store it outside of the
vehicle. When you put it back, always be sure that
it is securely reattached.
