A WORD ABOUT YOUR KEYS
The authorized dealer that sold you your new vehicle has the key code numbers for your vehicle locks. These numbers can be used to order duplicate keys. Ask your authorized dealer for these numbers and keep them in a safe place.
Ignition Key Removal
1. Place the shift lever in PARK (if equipped with an automatic transmission). 2. Turn the ignition switch to the ACC (Accessory) position. 3. Push the key and cylinder inward and rotate the key to the LOCK position. 4. Remove the key from the ignition switch lock cylinder.
Vehicle Key
NOTE: If you try to remove the key before you place the shift lever in PARK, the key may become trapped tem- porarily in the ignition switch cylinder. If this occurs, place the shift lever in PARK, rotate the key to the right
slightly, then remove the key as described. If a malfunc- tion occurs, the system will trap the key in the ignition cylinder to warn you that this safety feature is inoperable. The engine can be started and stopped but the key cannot be removed until you obtain service.
WARNING!
• Before exiting a vehicle, always apply the parking
brake, shift the transmission into PARK, and re- move the key fob from the ignition. When leaving the vehicle, always lock your vehicle.
• Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or with access to an unlocked vehicle.
Ignition Switch Positions
1 — LOCK 3 — ON/RUN 2 — ACC (ACCESSORY) 4 — START
• Allowing children to be in a vehicle unattended is
dangerous for a number of reasons. A child or others could be seriously or fatally injured. Chil- dren should be warned not to touch the parking brake, brake pedal or the shift lever.
• Do not leave the key fob in or near the vehicle, and do not leave the ignition in the ACC or ON/RUN position. A child could operate power windows, other controls, or move the vehicle.
• Do not leave children or animals inside parked vehicles in hot weather. Interior heat build-up may cause serious injury or death.
CAUTION! An unlocked car is an invitation to thieves. Always remove the key from the ignition and lock all the doors when leaving the vehicle unattended.
Locking Doors With A Key
You can insert the key with either side up. To lock the door, turn the key to the right. To unlock the door, turn the key to the left. Refer to “Maintenance Procedures” in “Maintaining Your Vehicle” for further information.
Key-In-Ignition Reminder
Opening the driver’s door when the key is in the ignition and the ignition position is LOCK or ACC, sounds a signal to remind you to remove the key.
NOTE: With the driver’s door open and the key in the ignition, the power door locks will not lock and Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter will not function.
