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.

Programmable Modes
Mode 1: Cancel the last door closed locking by
pressing the unlock switch or by fully inserting the
key in the ignition.
Mode 2: Override the last door closed locking feature
and lock the doors immediately by pressing the lock
switch a second time.
Mode 3: Let the last door closed locking feature
complete the locking of the vehicle.
When your vehicle was shipped from the factory,
it was programmed to Mode 3. The mode to which
your vehicle was programmed may have been changed
since it left the factory. To determine the mode to which
your vehicle is programmed or to program your vehicle
to a different mode, do the following:
1. Close all doors and turn the ignition switch to ON.
2. Press and hold the power door lock switch in the
unlock position.3. While holding the door unlock switch, cycle the
transaxle out of and back into PARK (P). Count the
number of chimes you hear. The number of chimes
tells you which mode your vehicle is set for. (If you
do not wish to change the current mode, you can
either exit the programming mode by following the
instructions listed here or program the next feature
available on your vehicle).
4. A single chime will be heard if the last door closed
locking feature is disabled, and two chimes will be
heard if the feature is enabled. After the initial
transaxle cycle, each additional cycle will turn
the last door closed locking feature on or off.
5. When the door unlock switch is released, the vehicle
will remain in the most recent operating mode.
The mode you selected is now set. You can either exit
the programming mode by following the instructions
above or program the next feature available on
your vehicle.
Disconnecting the battery for up to a year will not
change any previously programmed modes.

2-9 Programmable Automatic Door Locks

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 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.Operation
Press UNLOCK once to
unlock the driver's door
and to turn the interior
lamps on (see ªIllumination
on Remote Activationº in
the Index for more details).
Press UNLOCK again within five seconds to unlock all
doors. To lock all doors, press LOCK. To unlock the
trunk, press the trunk symbol on the remote keyless
entry transmitter. The trunk will only unlock when the
vehicle is in PARK (P).

Illumination on Remote Activation
This feature is included on vehicles with the remote
keyless entry system. The interior illumination will be
activated when a 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.
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.

2-21 Retained Accessory Power (RAP)
With retained accessory power, the power windows,
audio system and sunroof (option) will continue to work
up to 10 minutes after the ignition key is turned to
OFF and none of the doors is opened.
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. With your foot off 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 within 10 seconds, hold your
key in START for about 10 seconds at a time until
your engine starts. Wait about 15 seconds between
each try.

2-65 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.
