Remote Trunk Release
Press the TRUNK release
button located to the right of
the steering column to
release the trunk lid. The
trunk release override
switch must be
in the ON
position.
The trunk release button
will work in any transaxle
position. The system also works with the Remote Lock
Control.
Trunk Security Override
Inside the glove box is an
override switch that is
useful if you want to leave
valuables
in the trunk when
using a commercial parking
lot.
Move the switch to
OFF to disable the remote trunk
release button. Then lock your glove box
with the door
key.
If you have your door key with you, this will help
keep someone from getting into your trunk. Move the
switch to
ON to again make the remote trunk release
button usable.
The Remote Lock Control transmitter
will open the
trunk even if the override switch is in the OFF position.

Glove Box Parking at Night
Park in a lighted spot, close all windows and lock your
vehicle. Remember to keep your valuables out
of sight.
Put them
in a storage area, or take them with you.
Use the door
key to
lock and unlock the glove box. To
open, pull the latch release on the left side of the glove
box door.
Theft
Vehicle theft is big business, especially in some cities.
Although your Aurora has a number
of theft deterrent
features, we
know that nothing we put on it can make it
impossible to steal. However, there are ways you can
help.
Key in the Ignition
If you walk away from your vehicle with the keys
inside, it’s an easy target for joy riders or professional
thieves
-- so don’t do it.
When you park your Aurora and open the driver’s door,
you’ll hear a chime reminding
you to remove your key
from the ignition and take it with you. Always do this.
Your steering wheel will be locked, and
so will your
ignition and transaxle. And remember to lock the doors.
Parking Lots
If you park in a lot where someone will be watching
your vehicle, it’s best to lock
it up and take your keys.
But what if you have to leave your ignition key? What if
you have to leave something valuable
in your vehicle?
0 Put your valuables in a storage areai, like your trunk
or glove box.
0 Move the trunk security override switch to OFF.
0 Lock the glove box.
0 Lock all the doors except the driver‘s.
0 Take the door key with you.
Take the Remote Lock Control key chain with you.

Ignition Switch
RUN
ACCESSORY
W
I NOTICE:
If your key seems stuck in LOCK and you can’t
turn it, be sure it
is 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. With
the ignition key
in the ignition switch, you can turn
the switch to five positions:
ACC (Accessory): An ON position in which you can
operate your electrical power accessories. Press
in the
ignition switch as you turn the top of
it toward you.
LOCK: The only position in which you can remove the
key. This locks your steering wheel, ignition and
transaxle.
OFF: Unlocks the steering wheel, ignition, and
transaxle, but does not send electrical power to any
accessories. Use this position
if your vehicle must be
pushed or towed, but never
try to push-start your
vehicle.
A warning chime will sound if you open the
driver’s door when
the ignition is off and the key is in
the ignition.
RUN: An ON position to which the switch returns after
you start your engine and release the switch. The switch
stays
in the RUN position when the engine is running.
But even when the engine is not running, you can use
RUN to operate your electrical power accessories, and
to display some instrument panel warning lights.
START: Starts the engine. When the engine starts,
release the key. The ignition switch will return to
RUN
for norlnal driving.

Shifting Out of PARK (P)
Your Aurora has a brake-transaxle shift interlock. You
have to fully
apply your regular brake before you can
shift from PARK (P) when the ignition is in the
ON
position. See “Shifting the Automatic Transaxle” in the
Index.
If you cannot shift out of PARK (P), ease pressure
on
the shift lever--push the shift lever all the way into
PARK (P) as you maintain brake application. Then
move the shift lever into the gear you wish. Press the
shift lever button before moving the shift lever.
If you ever hold the brake pedal down but still can’t
shift out of PARK (P), try this:
1. Turn the key to OFF. Open and close the driver’s
door to turn off the Retained Accessory Power
feature.
2. Apply and hold the brake until the end of step 4.
3. Shift to NEUTRAL (N).
4. Start the vehicle and then shift to the drive gear you
want.
5. Have the vehicle fixed as soon as you can.

Theftlock@ Anti-Theft Feature
Your radio may have the Theftlock@ feature.
Theftlock@is designed to discourage theft
of your radio.
It works by using a secret code to disable the radio
functions whenever battery power is removed.
The Theftlock@ feature for the radio may be used or
ignored.
If ignored, the system plays normally and the
radio is not protected by the feature.
If Theftlock IS @ ..
activated, your radio will not operate if stolen.
When Theftlock@ is activated, the radio
