KEY PLATE
Ty p e A Ð
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
accidentally lock your keys inside the ve-
hicle.

REAR DOOR CHILD- PROTECTORS
Move the lock lever to the ºLOCKº
position as shown on the label.
This feature allows you to lock a rear
door so it can be opened from the outside
only, not from inside. We recommend us-
ing this feature whenever small children
are in the vehicle.

10
CAUTION
Before driving, be sure that the doors
are closed and locked, especially
when small children are in the ve-
hicle. Along 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.
Power windows
The windows can be operated with the
switch on each door.
The ignition key must be in the ºONº 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
release it. The window will fully open. To
stop the window partway, lightly pull the
switch up and then release it.

Window lock
button
OPERATING THE PASSENGERS'
WINDOWS
Use the switch on each passengers'
door or the switches on the driver 's
door that control each passengers' win-
dow.
The window moves 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 passengers' windows
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
occupants are kept completely in-
side 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 onthe auxiliary catch l ever and lift the
hood.3. Hold the hood open by inserting the 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 nec-
essary, 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 from falling down
on to your head or body.
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 discon-
nected and then reconnected when the
vehicle is locked.
The alarm blows the horn intermittently
and flashes the headlights, tail lights and
other exterior lights. The engine cannot be
started because the starter circuit will be
cut. Theft deterrent system
(for Puerto Rico)

SETTING THE SYSTEM1. Turn the ignition key to the ºLOCKº position and remove it.
2. Have all passengers get out of the vehicle.
3. Close and lock all the doors, trunk and hood.
The indicator light will come on when all
the doors, trunk and hood are closed and
locked.
As the doors are locked, the system will
give you a preparation time of 30 seconds
before the setting, during which the doors,
trunk and hood may be opened. 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 indicator
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

The system will give the alarm and cut
the starter circuit under the following
conditions: If any of the doors, trunk or hood is
unlocked without using the key
If the battery terminal is disconnected
and then reconnected
After one minute, the alarm will automati-
cally stop with the starter circuit cut kept on. Reactivating the alarm
Once set, the system automatically resets
the alarm each time all the doors, trunk
and hood are closed after the alarm
stops.
The alarm will be activated again under
the following conditions:
If any of the doors, trunk or hood is opened
If the battery terminal is disconnected
and then reconnected
Stopping the alarm
Turn the ignition key from the ºLOCKº to
ºACCº position. The alarm will be stopped
with the starter circuit cut kept on. Stop-
ping the alarm in this manner will keep
the alarm from being reactivated when any
of the doors, trunk or hood is opened.
Interrupting the setting
With the system set, the trunk can be
opened with the key without activating or
cancelling the system. While it is o pen, it
the doors and hood may be opened in
addition. However, when the battery termi-
nal is disconnected and then reconnected,
the system is activated.
To resume the setting, close and lock all
the doors, trunk and hood. The trunk must
be closed with the key removed.
