Lockout Deterrent
The lockout deterrent feature makes it difficult for you
to lock your keys in your vehicle. If the driver's door is
open while the keys are in the ignition, a chime will
sound and you will not be able to use your power door
lock switch to lock the vehicle.
If you don't leave the keys in the ignition or if you use
the manual door lock, you could still lock your keys in
your vehicle. Always remember to take your keys
with you.
To turn this feature off or on, see ªMultifunction Alarm
Locks and Lighting Choicesº in the Index.

door and set the locks from the inside. Then get out and

2. Get the vehicles close enough so the jumper cables
can reach, but be sure the vehicles aren't touching
each other. If they are, it could cause a ground
connection you don't want. You wouldn't be able to
start your vehicle, and the bad grounding could
damage the electrical systems.
To avoid the possibility of the vehicles rolling, set
the parking brake firmly on both vehicles involved in
the jump start procedure. Put an automatic transaxle
in PARK (P) or a manual transaxle in NEUTRAL
before setting the parking brake.
3. Turn off the ignition on both vehicles. Unplug
unnecessary accessories plugged into the cigarette
lighter or the accessory power outlet. Turn off all
lamps that aren't needed, as well as radios. This will
avoid sparks and help save both batteries. In
addition, it could save your radio!
NOTICE:
If you leave your radio on, it could be badly
damaged. The repairs wouldn't be covered by
your warranty.
4. Open the hoods and locate the batteries.
Find the positive (+) and negative (
-) terminals on
each battery.
CAUTION:
An electric fan can start up even when the engine
is not running and can injure you. Keep hands,
clothing and tools away from any underhood
electric fan.
