Lockout Protection

Your vehicle’s Lockout Protection feature

reduces the chances of locking the car

with the keys in the ignition. Whenever

any door is open and the Power Door

Lock switch is pressed to LOCK with the

key in the ignition, the doors WILL NOT

LOCK. If the driver’s door is open and

the ignition is OFF, the chime will sound,

reminding you that the key is in the igni-

tion. Notice, in this situation, the

absence of the three chimes associated

with the Delayed Locking. To intentional-

ly lock the keys in the car:

• Depress and hold either Power Door

Lock switch in the LOCK position for

three seconds, or

• Depress the LOCK button on the

Remote Keyless Entry transmitter.  

See Section 2 of your Owner Manual.

Window Defogging

For faster side window defogging on

very humid, cool days, use these tips:

• Turn the climate control mode knob to   

(Floor).

• Turn the temperature knob all the way

into the red (Hot) area and the fan

knob to top speed (5).

• Press and hold the A/C button until

the activation light comes on.

See Section 3 of your Owner Manual.

Air Conditioning

For faster interior cooling on very hot,

sunny days, follow these tips:

• Open the windows long enough to let

the hot inside air escape.

• Set the temperature knob all the way

into the blue (Cold) area and press

the A/C button until the activation light

comes on.

• For maximum cooling, wait until 

the interior temperature has cooled 

to a comfortable level. Select 

MAX (Maximum) to recirculate

the cool air inside your vehicle.

See Section 3 of your Owner Manual.
