Lockout Prevention
(if equipped)
If your VUE is equipped with the Power
Package, the lockout prevention feature
makes it difficult for you to lock your key
in the vehicle. If you leave the key in the
ignition with either of the front doors
open and a power door lock switch is
depressed, all the doors will lock.
However, because the key is in the igni-
tion, the driver’s door will unlock auto-
matically within one second.
See Section 2 of your Owner Manual.
Rear Door Security Locks
Each of the rear passenger doors on
your VUE is equipped with a security
lock that makes it impossible to open
the doors from the inside. This is espe-
cially important if you have young chil-
dren in the back. The locks are located
on the rear-inside edge of each door.
To activate the lock, insert a flat screw-
driver or key into the slot and turn it so
that the line is in a horizontal position.
When activated, the doors can only be
opened from the outside. To deactivate
this feature, turn the lock so that the line
is in a vertical position.
See Section 2 of your Owner Manual.
Towing Your Vehicle
The following are the recommended tow-
ing methods for your VUE. Note that
alternate towing methods can be used on
models equipped with the manual, 4-
speed automatic or 5-speed automatic
transaxle.
VTi Auto Variable Transaxle Models
This VUE model should not be towed
with all four wheels on the ground. To
properly tow this model, place the entire
vehicle on a platform trailer.
Manual, 4-Speed Automatic or
5-Speed Automatic Models
These models can be towed from the
front with the front wheels placed on a
dolly or from the front with all four
wheels on the ground.
For 5-speed automatic transaxle mod-
els, the towing method with all four
wheels on the ground is limited to 520
miles (837km) at speeds below 65 mph
(105km/h).
Important: Towing your vehicle from the
rear could cause damage. Repairs
would not be covered by the warranty.
Never have your vehicle towed from the
rear.
See Section 4 of your Owner Manual.
Automatic Door Locking
and Unlocking (if equipped)
If your VUE is equipped with power door
locks, the doors will lock and unlock
automatically during certain conditions.
Automatic Door Locking
Automatic Transmission-Equipped
Vehicles:
All of the doors will automatically lock
when the shift lever is moved out of “P”
(Park), the ignition key is in the RUN
position and all the doors are closed.
In the following two situations, when a
door is opened, all doors will lock again:
• The brake pedal is applied, a door is
opened and closed, and the brake
pedal is released.
