1-27 Servicing Your Air Bag-Equipped Vehicle
Air bags affect how your vehicle should be serviced.
There are parts of the air bag system in several places
around your vehicle. You don't want the system to
inflate while someone is working on your vehicle. Your
dealer and the service manual have information about
servicing your vehicle and the air bag system. To
purchase a service manual, see ªService and Owner
Publicationsº in the Index.
CAUTION:
For up to 10 seconds after the ignition key is
turned off and the battery is disconnected, an air
bag can still inflate during improper service. You
can be injured if you are close to an air bag when
it inflates. Avoid yellow connectors. They are
probably part of the air bag system. Be sure to
follow proper service procedures, and make sure
the person performing work for you is qualified
to do so.
The air bag system does not need regular maintenance.
Rear Seat Passengers
It's very important for rear seat passengers to buckle up!
Accident statistics show that unbelted people in the rear
seat are hurt more often in crashes than those who are
wearing safety belts.
Rear passengers who aren't safety belted can be thrown
out of the vehicle in a crash. And they can strike others
in the vehicle who are wearing safety belts.

Lap-Shoulder Belt
The positions next to the windows have lap
-shoulder
belts. Here's how to wear one properly.

If the driver wishes to let the last door closed locking
feature complete the locking of the vehicle, no
additional action is required. The last door closed
locking feature will lock the doors automatically after
all the doors have been closed for a period of five
seconds. During this five second period, any door may
be reopened, at which time the three possible actions
described previously are again available.
You can customize the vehicle to activate the last door
closed locking feature as described previously or to
completely disable the last door closed locking feature at
all times. If disabled, the doors will lock immediately
when a power door lock switch is pressed. The last door
closed locking feature is customized when the driver
performs the following sequence with the doors closed
and the ignition key in ON.
1. Press and hold the power door lock switch in the
unlock position.
2. While holding the door unlock switch, cycle the
transaxle out of and back into PARK (P).3. After an initial transaxle cycle, each additional cycle
will turn the last door closed locking feature on
or off.
4. During this customization procedure, the chime will
sound, providing the driver feedback. A single chime
will be heard if the last door closed locking feature is
off, and two chimes will be heard if the last door
closed locking feature is on.
5. When the door unlock switch is released, the vehicle
will remain in the most recent operating mode.
The last door closed locking feature is enabled when the
vehicle is shipped from the factory.
Disconnecting the battery for up to a year will not
change or delete the last door closed locking feature.

2-7 Programmable Automatic Door Locks
Programmable automatic door locks is a standard
feature intended to provide enhanced security and
convenience by automatically locking and unlocking
vehicle doors. The automatic locking and unlocking of
the vehicle will occur if the ignition key is in ON and
the driver's door is closed when the vehicle is shifted
out of PARK (P). One of four operating modes may be
selected and programmed by the driver:
Mode 1: No automatic door lock or unlock.
Mode 2: Automatic all door lock when transaxle is
shifted out of PARK (P). No automatic door unlock.
Mode 3: Automatic all door lock when transaxle is
shifted out of PARK (P). Automatic all door unlock
when transaxle is shifted into PARK (P).
Mode 4: Automatic all door lock when transaxle is
shifted out of PARK (P). Automatic driver's door only
unlock when transaxle is shifted into PARK (P).The operating mode of the programmable automatic
door locks will be changed when the driver performs the
following sequence with the doors closed and the
ignition key in ON.
1. Press and hold the power door lock switch in the
lock position.
2. While holding the door lock switch, cycle the
transaxle out of and back into PARK (P).
3. After an initial transaxle cycle, each additional cycle
will advance to the operating mode by one, starting
from the current operating mode.
4. During this customization procedure, the automatic
door lock and unlock functions will operate as
defined by each mode listed, providing the customer
with feedback of the current operating mode.
5. If cycled beyond Mode 4, the vehicle will enter
operating Mode 1. When the door lock switch is
released, the vehicle will remain in the most recent
operating mode.
The programmable automatic door locks are in operating
Mode 3 when the vehicle is shipped from the factory.
Disconnecting the battery for up to a year will not
change or delete any previously programmed modes.

Keyless Entry System (If Equipped)
If your vehicle has this feature, you can lock and unlock
your doors or unlock your trunk from about 3 feet (1 m)
up to 30 feet (9 m) away using the remote keyless entry
transmitter supplied with your vehicle.
Your keyless entry system operates on a radio frequency
subject to Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
Rules and with Industry Canada.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) this device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired operation.
This device complies with RSS
-210 of Industry Canada.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this
device must accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired operation of
the device.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 is
necessary. See the instructions that follow.

If you're still having trouble, see your dealer or a
qualified technician for service.

The operating mode of the remote activation verification
lock (RAV) feature will be changed when the driver
performs the following sequence with the doors closed
and the ignition key in ON:
1. Press and hold down the power door lock switch in
the lock position.
2. While holding the door lock switch, press and
release the remote keyless entry transmitter
LOCK button. This button press will initialize the
customization mode. Upon initiation of this mode,
the chime will sound the number of chimes
corresponding to the current RAV lock mode.
3. Each additional press of the remote keyless entry
transmitter LOCK button will cause the vehicle to
advance to the RAV lock mode by one, starting from
the current RAV lock mode.
4. If cycled beyond RAV lock Mode 4, the vehicle will
enter RAV lock Mode 1. When the door lock switch
is released, the vehicle will remain in the most recent
RAV lock mode.
Disconnecting the battery for up to a year will not
change or delete any previously programmed modes.Illumination on Remote Activation
This feature is included on vehicles with the remote
keyless entry system. The interior illumination will be
activated when an remote keyless entry door unlock
command is received. The ignition must be off for the
remote activation illumination to work. The interior
lamps will illuminate until the ignition is turned to
ON or until the illumination period of 40 seconds
has elapsed.
If during the illumination period, a door is opened, the
timed illumination period will be cancelled, though the
interior lamps will remain on until all doors are closed.
Matching Transmitter(s) To Your Vehicle
Each remote keyless entry transmitter is coded to
prevent another transmitter from unlocking your vehicle.
If a transmitter is lost or stolen, a replacement can be
purchased through your dealer. Remember to bring any
remaining transmitters with you when you go to your
dealer. When the dealer matches the replacement
transmitter to your vehicle, any remaining transmitters
must also be matched. Once your dealer has coded the
new transmitter, the lost transmitter will not unlock your
vehicle. Each vehicle can have only four transmitters
matched to it.

2-12 Battery Replacement
Under normal use, the battery in your remote keyless
entry transmitter should last about three years.
You can tell the battery is weak if the transmitter won't
work at the normal range in any location. If you have to
get close to your vehicle before the transmitter works,
it's probably time to change the battery.
NOTICE:
When replacing the battery, use care not to touch
any of the circuitry. Static from your body
transferred to these surfaces may damage
the transmitter.
To replace your battery:
1. Insert a flat object like a dime into the slot on the
back of the transmitter. Gently pry apart the front
and back.
2. Gently pry the battery out of the transmitter.
(Do not use a metal object.)
3. Put the new battery into the transmitter as shown on
the transmitter (use a type CR2032 battery).
4. Put the two halves back together. Make sure the
halves are together tightly so water won't get in.
5. Resynchronize and then test the transmitter.

2-13 Resynchronization
After you have changed the battery in your remote keyless
entry transmitter, you will need to resynchronize the
transmitter. To do this, press the LOCK and UNLOCK
buttons at the same time and hold for approximately seven
seconds (or until the horn chirps three times). You will
need to use this procedure if your vehicle has lost battery
power for an extended period of time.
Trunk Lid
CAUTION:
It can be dangerous to drive with the trunk lid
open because carbon monoxide (CO) gas can
come into your vehicle. You can't see or smell
CO. It can cause unconsciousness and even death.
CAUTION: (Continued)
CAUTION: (Continued)
If you must drive with the trunk lid open or if
electrical wiring or other cable connections must
pass through the seal between the body and
the trunk:

Make sure all other windows are shut.

Turn the fan on your heating or cooling
system to its highest speed with the setting
on VENT. That will force outside air into
your vehicle. See ªComfort Controlsº in
the Index.

If you have air outlets on or under the
instrument panel, open them all the way.
See ªEngine Exhaustº in the Index.
Trunk Lock
To unlock the trunk from the outside, insert the key and
turn it clockwise.
You can also use the remote keyless entry transmitter, if
your vehicle is equipped.

2-17
Starting Your Engine
Move your shift lever to PARK (P) or NEUTRAL (N).
Your engine won't start in any other position
-- that's a
safety feature. To restart when you're already moving,
use NEUTRAL (N) only.
NOTICE:
Don't try to shift to PARK (P) if your vehicle is
moving. If you do, you could damage the
transaxle. Shift to PARK (P) only when your
vehicle is stopped.
1. Without pushing the accelerator pedal, turn your
ignition key to START. When the engine starts, let
go of the key. The idle speed will go down as your
engine gets warm.
NOTICE:
Holding your key in START for longer than
15 seconds at a time will cause your battery to be
drained much sooner. And the excessive heat
can damage your starter motor. Wait about
15 seconds between each try to help avoid
draining your battery or damaging your starter.
2. If it doesn't start right away, hold your key in
START for about ten seconds at a time until your
engine starts. Wait about 15 seconds between each
try to help avoid draining your battery or damaging
your starter.

2-57 Charging System Light
The charging system light
will come on briefly when
you turn the ignition key to
ON as a check to show you
it's working. Then it should
go out.
If it stays on, or comes on while you're driving, you
may have a problem with the charging system. It could
indicate that you have a loose drive belt or another
electrical problem. Have it checked right away. Driving
while this light is on could drain your battery.
If you must drive a short distance with the light on, be
certain to turn off all your accessories, such as the radio
and air conditioner.
Brake System Warning Light
Your vehicle's hydraulic brake system is divided into
two parts. If one part isn't working, the other part can
still work and stop you. For good braking, though, you
need both parts working well.If the warning light comes on, there is a brake problem.
Have your brake system inspected right away.
United States Canada
This light should come on briefly when you turn the
ignition key to ON. If it doesn't come on then, have it
fixed so it will be ready to warn you if there's a problem.
If the light comes on while you are driving, pull off the
road and stop carefully. You may notice that the pedal is
harder to push. Or, the pedal may go closer to the floor.
It may take longer to stop. If the light is still on, have the
vehicle towed for service. (See ªTowing Your Vehicleº
in the Index.)
