KEY PLATE
Type AÐ
Your vehicle is supplied with two
kinds of key.
1. Master keyÐThis key works in every
lock.
2. SubkeyÐThis key will not work in the trunk.
To protect things locked in the trunk when
you have your vehicle parked, leave the subkey with the attendant. Since the doors and trunk lid can be
locked without a key, you should always
carry a spare master key in case you acci-
dentally lock your keys inside the vehicle.
Type BÐ This key works in every lock. Since the doors and trunk lid can be
locked without a key, you should always
carry a spare key in case you accidentally
lock your key inside the vehicle.

REAR DOOR CHILD-PROTECTORS
Move the lock lever to the LOCKº

This
feature allows you to lock a rear door
so it can be opened from the outside only,
not from inside. We recommend using this feature whenever small children are in thevehicle.

CAUTION!
Before driving, be sure that the
doors are closed and locked, espe-
cially when small children are in the
vehicle. A long with the proper use of
seat belts, locking the doors helps
prevent the driver and passengers
from being thrown out from the ve-
hicle during an accident. It also
helps prevent the doors from being
opened unintentionally.
The windows can be operated with the
switch on each door.
The ignition key must be in the ONº posi- tion.
OPERATING THE DRIVER'S WINDOW
Use the switch on the driver's door.
Normal operation: The window moves
as long as you hold the switch.
To open: Lightly push down the switch.
To close: Pull up the switch.Automatic operation (to open only):
Push the switch completely down and
then rel ease it. The window will fully open.
To stop the window partway, lightly pull the
switch up and then release it.
Power windows

OPERATING THE PASSENGERS' WIN-
DOWS
Use the switch on each passengers'
door or the switches on the dirver's
door that control each passengers'
window.
The window move as long as you hold the switch.
To open: Push down the switch.
To close: Pull up the switch.
If you push in the window lock button on
the driver's door, the passenger's win-
dows cannot be operated.
CAUTION!
To avoid serious personal injury, you
must do the following. Always make sure the head, hands
and other parts of the body of all oc-
cupants are kept completely inside
the vehicle before you close the
power windows. If someone's
neck, head or hands gets caught in
a closing window, it could result in
a serious injury. When anyone
closes the power windows, be sure
that they operate the windows safe-
ly.
When small children are in the ve-
hicle, never let them use the power
window switches without supervi-
sion. Use the window lock button
to prevent them from making unex-
pected use of the switches.
Never leave small children alone in
the vehicle, especially with the igni-
tion key still inserted. They could
use the power window switches
and get trapped in a window. Unat-
tended children can become in-
volved in serious accidents.

2. In front of the vehicle, pull up on theauxiliary catch lever and lift the hood.3. Hold the hood open by insertingthe support rod into the slot.
Before closing the hood, check to see that
you have not forgotten any tools, rags,
etc. and return the support rod to its clip-
this prevents rattles. Then lower the hood
and make sure it locks into place. If neces-
sary, press down gently on the front edge
to lock it.
CAUTION!
After inserting the support rod into
the slot, make sure the rod supports
the hood securely.
To deter the vehicle theft, the system is
designed to give an alarm and keep the
engine from being started if any of the
doors, trunk or hood is forcibly un-
locked or the battery terminal is dis-
connected and then reconnected
when the vehicle is locked.
The alarm blows the horn intermittently
and flashes the headlights, tail lights, andother exterior lights. The engine cannot
be started because the starter circuit will be cut.

3. Close and lock all the side doors, trunk
and hood.

As all the doors are locked, the system will
give you a preparation time of 30 secondsbefore the setting, during which the doors,
trunk and hood may be opened to prepare
for the setting. Be careful not to use the key when open-
ing either front door. This will cancel the system.
4. After making sure the indicator light
starts flashing, you may leave the ve- hicle.
The system will automatically be set after the preparation time passes. The indica-
tor light will flash to show the system is
set. If any of the doors, trunk or hood is
open at that time, the setting is interrupted
until it is closed and locked. Never leave anyone in the vehicle when you set the system, because unlocking
from the inside will activate the system. WHEN THE SYSTEM IS SET Activating the system
