Door Locks
{CAUTION:
Unlocked doors can be dangerous.
Passengers, especially children, can
easily open the doors and fall out of a
moving vehicle. When a door is
locked, the handle will not open it.
You increase the chance of being
thrown out of the vehicle in a crash if
the doors are not locked. So, wear
safety belts properly and lock the
doors whenever you drive.
CAUTION: (Continued)
CAUTION: (Continued)

Young children who get into unlocked
vehicles may be unable to get out. A
child can be overcome by extreme heat
and can suffer permanent injuries or
even death from heat stroke. Always
lock your vehicle whenever you
leave it.
Outsiders can easily enter through an
unlocked door when you slow down or
stop your vehicle. Locking your doors
can help prevent this from happening.
There are several ways to lock and unlock your
vehicle.
From the outside, use your key or, if your vehicle
has one, the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
transmitter. Turn the key counterclockwise to
unlock the door. Turn the key clockwise to lock
the door.
From the inside, use the manual lock knobs or the
power lock switches.

The exterior lamp switch has the following four
positions:
2(Headlamps):This position turns on the
headlamps, parking lamps, and taillamps.
;(Parking Lamps):This position turns on the
parking lamps and taillamps only.
AUTO (Automatic Headlamp System):This
position automatically turns on the Daytime
Running Lamps during daytime, and the
headlamps, parking lamps, and taillamps at night.
P(Off/On):This position turns on the Automatic
Headlamp System. In Canada, this only works
when a vehicle with an automatic transaxle
is in PARK (P).
To turn on the Automatic Headlamp System, turn
the switch to off/on. To turn them off, turn the
switch to off/on again. This is a momentary control
switch that will spring back when released. The
Automatic Headlamp System is always turned on
at the beginning of an ignition cycle.
Headlamps on Reminder
A reminder tone will sound when your headlamps
or parking lamps are manually turned on, if the
driver’s door is open and your ignition is in
the OFF or ACC position. To turn the tone off, turn
the knob all the way counterclockwise. In the
automatic mode, the headlamps turn off once the
ignition key is in the OFF position.
Headlamps Off in PARK (P)
This feature works when the ignition is ON and it
is dark outside. To turn the headlamps off
when it is dark outside but keep other exterior
lights on, turn the exterior lamp control to
the parking lamp position. In this position, the
parking lamps, sidemarker lamps, taillamps,
license plate lamps and instrument panel lights will
be on, but the headlamps will be off.
To turn on the headlamps along with the other
lamps when it is dark outside, turn the exterior
lamp control to the AUTO or headlamp position.
This feature will not work for Canadian vehicles.
