Programmable Automatic Door Locks
Your vehicle is equipped with an automatic lock/unlock
feature which enables you to program your vehicle's
power door locks. You can program this feature
through the Driver Information Center (DIC), or by
the following method.Programmable Locking Feature
The following is the list of available programming options:

Mode 1: All doors lock when the transmission is
shifted into gear.

Mode 2: All doors lock when the vehicle speed is
greater than 8 mph (13 km/h).

Mode 3: No automatic door locking.
The automatic door locks were pre
-programmed at the
factory to lock all the doors when the transmission is
shifted into gear. The following instructions detail how
to program your door locks differently than the factory
setting. Choose one of the three programming options
listed above before entering the program mode.
To enter the program mode you need to do
the following:
1. Begin with the ignition off. Then pull the turn
signal/multifunction lever toward you and hold it
there while you perform the next step.
2. Turn the key to RUN and LOCK twice. Then, with
the key in LOCK, release the turn signal/multifunction
lever. Once you do this, you will hear the lock switch
lock and unlock, the horn will chirp twice, and a
30 second program timer will begin.

3. You are now ready to program the automatic door
locks. Select one of the three programming options
listed above, and press the lock side of the power
door lock switch to cycle through the lock options.
You will have 30 seconds to begin programming.
If you exceed the 30 second limit, the locks will
automatically lock and unlock and the horn will
chirp twice to indicate that you have left the program
mode. If this occurs, repeat the procedure beginning
with Step 1 to re
-enter the programming mode.
You can exit the program mode any time by turning the
ignition to RUN (the locks will automatically lock and
unlock and the horn will chirp twice to indicate that
you are leaving the program mode). If the lock/unlock
switches are not pressed while in the programming mode,
the current auto lock/unlock setting will not be modified.
See your dealer for more information.Programmable Unlocking Feature
The following is the list of available programming options:

Mode 1: Driver's door unlocks when the
transmission is shifted into PARK (P).

Mode 2: All doors unlock when the transmission is
shifted into PARK (P)

Mode 3: All doors unlock when the key is removed
from the ignition.

Mode 4: No automatic door unlock.
The automatic door locks were pre
-programmed at the
factory to unlock the driver's door once the transmission
is shifted to PARK (P). The following instructions detail
how to program your door locks differently than the
factory setting. Choose one of the four programming
options listed above before entering the program mode.
To enter the program mode you need to do
the following:
1. Begin with the ignition off. Then pull the turn
signal/multifunction lever toward you and hold it

3. You are now ready to program the automatic door
locks. Select one of the four programming options
listed above, and press the unlock side of the power
door lock switch to cycle through the unlocking
options. You will have 30 seconds to begin
programming. If you exceed the 30 second limit,
the locks will automatically lock and unlock and
the horn will chirp twice to indicate that you have
left the program mode. If this occurs, repeat the
procedure beginning with Step 1 to re
-enter the
programming mode.
You can exit the program mode any time by turning the
ignition to RUN (the locks will automatically lock and
unlock and the horn will chirp twice to indicate that
you are leaving the program mode). If the lock/unlock
switches are not pressed while in the programming mode,
the current auto lock/unlock setting will not be modified.
See your dealer for more information.
Rear Door Security Locks
With this feature, you can lock the rear doors so they
can't be opened from the inside by passengers.
To use one of these locks do the following:
1. Open one of the rear doors.
2. You will find a security
lock lever located on the
inside edge of each rear
door. Move the lever
down to engage the
safety lock. Move the
lever up to disengage
the safety lock.
3. Close the door.
4. Do the same thing to the other rear door.
The rear doors of your vehicle cannot be opened from
the inside when this feature is in use. If you want to
open the rear door when the security lock is on, unlock
the door and open the door from the outside.

2-11
Changes or modifications to this system by other than
an authorized service facility could void authorization to
use this equipment.
At times you may notice a decrease in range. This is
normal for any remote keyless entry system. If the
transmitter does not work or if you have to stand closer
to your vehicle for the transmitter to work, try this:

Check the distance. You may be too far from your
vehicle. You may need to stand closer during rainy
or snowy weather.

Check the location. Other vehicles or objects may be
blocking the signal. Take a few steps to the left or
right, hold the transmitter higher, and try again.

Check to determine if battery replacement or
resynchronization is necessary. See the instructions
that follow.

If you're still having trouble, see your dealer or a
qualified technician for service.Operation
(Unlock): When you
press unlock, the driver's
door will unlock
automatically, the parking
lamps may flash and the
interior lights will go on.
You can program different feedback settings through the
Driver Information Center (DIC). For more information
see ªDriver Information Center (DIC)º in the Index.
(Lock): Press lock to lock all the doors. Press lock
again within three seconds and the horn may chirp.
(Panic): When the button with the horn symbol
on the key transmitter is pressed, the horn will sound
and the headlamps and taillamps will flash for up to
30 seconds. This can be turned off by pressing the horn
button again, or by waiting for 30 seconds, or by starting
the vehicle.

Tilt Wheel
You should adjust the
steering wheel before
you drive. The tilt lever
is located on the driver's
side of the steering column,
under the turn signal lever.
You can raise it to the highest level to give your legs
more room when you enter and exit the vehicle.
To tilt the wheel, hold the steering wheel and pull
the lever toward you. Move the steering wheel to a
comfortable level, then release the lever to lock the
wheel in place.
Do not adjust the steering wheel while driving.
Turn Signal/Multifunction Lever
The lever on the left side of the steering column
includes the following:


: Turn and Lane Change Signals


: Headlamp High/Low-Beam Changer

Flash
-to-Pass Feature


: Windshield Wipers


: Windshield Washer


: Cruise Control

2-32 Turn and Lane Change Signals
The turn signal has two upward (for right) and two
downward (for left) positions. These positions allow
you to signal a turn or a lane change.
To signal a turn, move the lever all the way up
or down. When the turn is finished, the lever will
return automatically.
An arrow on the instrument
panel cluster will flash in
the direction of the turn or
lane change.
To signal a lane change, just raise or lower the lever
until the arrow starts to flash. Hold it there until you
complete your lane change. The lever will return by
itself when you release it. When signaling a lane
change a light will flash on the bottom of the driver's
or passenger's outside rearview mirror.As you signal a turn or a lane change, if the arrows flash
more quickly than normal, a signal bulb may be burned
out and other drivers won't see your turn signal.
If a bulb is burned out, replace it to help avoid an
accident. If the arrows don't go on at all when you
signal a turn, check the fuse (see ªFuses and Circuit
Breakersº in the Index) and for burned
-out bulbs.
If you have a trailer towing option with added wiring for
the trailer lamps, a different turn signal flasher is used.
With this flasher installed, the signal indicator will flash
even if a turn signal bulb is burned out. Check the front
and rear turn signal lamps regularly to make sure they
are working.
Turn Signal On Chime
If your turn signal is left on for more than 3/4 of a mile
(1.2 km), a chime will sound at each flash of the turn
signal. To turn off the chime, move the turn signal lever
to the center.

2-33 Headlamp High/Low-Beam Changer
To change the headlamps from low to high beam,
push the lever toward the instrument panel. To return
to low
-beam headlamps pull the multifunction lever
toward you. Then release it.
When the high beams
are on, this indicator light
on the instrument panel
cluster will also be on.
Flash-to-Pass Feature
This feature lets you use your high-beam headlamps to
signal a driver in front of you that you want to pass. It works
even if your headlamps are in the automatic position.
To use it, pull the turn signal lever toward you,
then release it.
If your headlamps are in the automatic position or on
low beam, your high
-beam headlamps will turn on.
They'll stay on as long as you hold the lever toward
you. The high
-beam indicator on the instrument panel
cluster will come on. Release the lever to return to
normal operation.
