doors without using a key by using
the drivers door keypad.

the keyless system is located on
your owners wallet card found in
the glove compartment.

door keypad is pressed the system
will:
²turn on the interior lights for
approximately 25 seconds and
²light up the keypad controls for
five seconds.
Do not push the control keypad
with any hard object that could
damage the controls.

necessary to first enter the keypad
code.
Unlocking the doors with the
keyless entry system
The driver door must be unlocked
before any other. If more than five
seconds pass between pressing
numbers, enter the code again.

SAFETY RESTRAINTS
Important safety restraints
precautions
The use of safety belts helps to
restrain both driver and passengers
in case of a collision. In most
states and Canada, the law
requires the use of safety belts.
Always drive and ride with
your seatback upright and
the lap belt snug and low across
the hips.
Lock the doors of your
vehicle before driving to
lessen the risk of the door
coming open in a collision.
Cargo should always be
secured to prevent it from
shifting and causing damage to
the vehicle or harm to
passengers.
To prevent the risk of
injury, make sure children
sit where they can be properly
restrained.

smell exhaust fumes.
Important ventilating
information
If the engine is idling while the
vehicle is stopped in an open area
for long periods of time, open the
windows at least 2.5 cm (one
inch).

conditioning to bring in fresh air.
