The key can be used for the ignition, as well as the door lock and storage compartments. When a new key is delivered, it will come with a bar coded tag attached to the key ring. Keep the bar code tag that came with the original keys. Give this tag to your dealer if you need a new key made.

2-3

Your vehicle has the PASS-Key@ Ill vehicle theft system. The key has a transponder in the key head that matches a decoder in the vehicle’s steering column. If a replacement key or an additional key is needed, it must be purchased from your dealer. The key will have PK3 stamped on it. Any new PASS-Key@ I l l key must be programmed before it will start your vehicle. See PASS-Key 111 on page 2-16 for more information on programming your new key. In an emergency, contact Pontiac Roadside Assistance. See Roadside Assistance Program on page 7-5 for more information. Notice: Your vehicle has a number of features that can help prevent theft. You can have a lot of trouble getting into your vehicle if you ever lock your keys inside. You may even have to damage your vehicle to get in. So be sure you have spare keys. If your vehicle is equipped with the OnStar system with an active subscription and you lock your keys inside the vehicle, OnStar may be able to send a command to unlock your vehicle. See OnStap System on page 2-38 for more information.

Remote Keyless Entry System Your keyless entry system operates on a radio frequency subject to Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Rules and with Industry Canada. This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: 1. This device may not cause interference, and 2. This device must accept any interference received,

including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.

This device complies with RSS-210 of Industry Canada. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: 1. This device may not cause interference, and 2. This device must accept any interference received,

including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.

Changes or modifications to this system by other than an authorized service facility could void authorization to use this equipment.

2-4

At times you may notice a decrease in range. This is normal for any remote keyless entry system. If the transmitter does not work or if you have to stand closer to your vehicle for the transmitter to work, try this:

Check the distance. You may be too far from your vehicle. You may need to stand closer during rainy or snowy weather. Check the location. Other vehicles or objects may be blocking the signal. Take a few steps to the left or right, hold the transmitter higher, and try again. Check to determine if battery replacement is necessary. See “Battery Replacement” under Remote Keyless Entry System Operation on page 2-5. If you are still having trouble, see your dealer or a qualified technician for service.

Remote Keyless Entry System Operation You can lock and unlock your doors or unlock your trunk from about 3 feet (1 m) up to 30 feet (9 m) away using the remote keyless entry transmitter supplied with your vehicle.

LOCK: To lock all the doors, press the LOCK button. See Power Door Locks on page 2-9 for more details on power door lock features.

If your vehicle is equipped with the content theft-deterrent system, the LOCK button may arm the system. See Content Theft-Deterrent on page 2- 15 for more information.

2-5

UNLOCK: When you press the UNLOCK button, only the driver’s door will unlock. If you press UNLOCK again within five seconds, all the doors will unlock. If you would like all the doors to unlock the first time you press UNLOCK, see Power Door Locks on page 2-9 The UNLOCK button on the remote keyless entry transmitter will disarm the content theft deterrent system. See Content Theft-Deterrent on page 2-75 for more details.

(Open Trunk): Press the button with the trunk

symbol to open your trunk. The transaxle must be in PARK (P) for this feature to operate. .& (Remote Alarm): When you press the button with the horn symbol, the headlamps will flash and the horn will sound. This will allow you to attract attention if needed. Your vehicle may have Remote Lock/Unlock Confirmation. This feature provides feedback to the holder of the remote keyless entry transmitter that a command has been received by the keyless entry receiver. To signal that a command has been received, the headlamps will flash and the horn may sound briefly. See Vehicle Personalization on page 2-43 for programming information.

Matching Transmitter(s) to Your Vehicle Each remote keyless entry transmitter is coded to prevent another transmitter from unlocking your vehicle. If a transmitter is lost or stolen, a replacement can be purchased through your dealer. Remember to bring any remaining transmitters with you when you go to your dealer. When the dealer matches the replacement transmitter to your vehicle, any remaining transmitters must also be matched. Once your dealer has coded the new transmitter, the lost transmitter will not unlock your vehicle. Each vehicle can have a maximum of four transmitters matched to it. Battery Replacement Under normal use, the battery in your remote keyless entry transmitter should last about three years. You can tell the battery is weak if the transmitter won’t work at the normal range in any location. If you have to get close to your vehicle before the transmitter works, it’s probably time to change the battery.

Notice: When replacing the battery, use care not to touch any of the circuitry. Static from your body transferred to these surfaces may damage the transmitter.

To replace the battery do the following: 1.

insert a flat object like a coin into the slot on the side of the transmitter and twist to separate the halves. Gently pry the battery out of the transmitter. Do not use the metal flanges to remove the battery. Put the new battery into the transmitter as shown on the transmitter. Use a type CR2032 battery, or equivalent type. Reassemble the transmitter. Make sure the halves are snapped together tightly so water will not get in Check the transmitter operation.

Doors and Locks

Door Locks

There are several ways to lock and unlock your vehicle. To lock or unlock your vehicle from the outside, use your key or remote keyless entry transmitter.

Unlocked doors can be dangerous.

Passengers - especially children - can easily open the doors and fall out of a moving vehicle. When a door is locked, the handle won’t open it. You increase the chance of being thrown out of the vehicle in a crash if the doors aren’t locked. So, wear safety belts properly and lock the doors whenever you drive. Young children who get into unlocked vehicles may be unable to get out. A child can be overcome by extreme heat and can suffer permanent injuries or even death from heat stroke. Always lock your vehicle whenever you leave it. Outsiders can easily enter through an unlocked door when you slow down or stop your vehicle. Locking your doors can help prevent this from happening.

2-8

To unlock or lock your doors from inside the vehicle, push the manual lever forward or rearward.

Power Door Locks To unlock all doors from inside the vehicle, press the front of the power door lock switch on either front door. If the content theft-deterrent system is armed, the power door lock switch will not unlock the doors until the system is disarmed. See Content Theft-Deterrent on page 2-15 for more information on disarming the system. You can lock all doors from inside the vehicle by pressing the rear of the power lock switch on either front door. The content theft-deterrent system, may be programmed to arm the system when the rear of the power lock switch is pressed. See Content Theft-Deterrent System on page 2-51 for more details.

Last Door Closed Locking The last door closed locking feature makes it more convenient for you to use your power door locks to lock all the doors when leaving your vehicle. When a door is open, three chimes will sound the first time you attempt to lock the doors using the power door lock switch or the keyless entry transmitter. The chimes indicate that the last door closed locking is being used. All doors can be opened for five seconds from the time the last door has been closed. Five seconds after the last door is closed, all doors will lock. You can lock the doors immediately by using the power door lock switch or the remote keyless entry transmitter. The last door closed locking feature will not activate when the ignition is in RUN or ACCESSORY. To turn the last door closed locking feature on or off, see Vehicle Personalization on page 2-43.

2-9

Programmable Automatic Door Locks All of the doors will lock automatically when you move your shift lever out of PARK (P). All doors will unlock automatically when the ignition is turned off while the shift lever is in PARK (P). If you prefer to have your doors unlocked automatically at any time, see Vehicle Personalization on page 2-43. If someone needs to get in or out of the vehicle after the doors have been automatically locked, place the shift lever into PARK (P). Unlock all doors using the power door lock switch or unlock the door you want using the inside manual lever. If you have programmed the Automatic Door Locks to unlock the doors when the shift lever is shifted into PARK (P), then the doors will automatically unlock for you. See Vehicle Personalization on page 2-43 for programming information.

If you don’t want the doors to unlock automatically when you turn the ignition off, see Vehicle Personalization on page 2-43. Lockout Protection The lockout deterrent feature makes it difficult for you to lock your keys in the vehicle. If the driver’s door is open while the keys are in the ignition, you will not be able to use your power door lock switch. This feature cannot guarantee that you’ll never be locked out of your vehicle. If you don’t leave the keys in the ignition, or if you use the manual door lock, you could still lock your keys inside your vehicle. Always remember to take your keys with you. To turn this feature on or off, see Vehicle Personalization on page 2-43.

To stop the window while it is lowering, press the front of the switch. To raise the window, press and hold the front of the switch. Window Lock-Out The driver’s window switch includes a lock-out feature. Push LOCK OUT to stop front and rear passengers from using their window switches. The driver can still control all the windows with the lock on. Push LOCK OUT again to return to normal window operation. When the colored band on the switch is showing, the passengers can operate their windows. Sun Visors To block out glare, you can swing down the visors. You can also swing them from front to side. The visors also have extenders that you can pull out for added coverage. Visor Vanity Mirror Open the cover on the sun visor to expose the vanity mirror. If the vehicle has the optional lighted vanity mirrors, the lamps come on when you open the cover.

Theft-Deterrent Systems Vehicle theft is big business, especially in some cities. Although your vehicle has a number of theft-deterrent features, we know that nothing we put on it can make it impossible to steal. Content Theft-Deterrent Your vehicle has a theft-deterrent alarm system.

A red light located on top of the instrument panel, toward the center of the vehicle and near the windshield, will flash slowly when the system is armed. While armed, the doors will not unlock with the power door lock switch. The alarm will souad if someone tampers with the trunk lock, enters the vehicle without using the remote keyless entry transmitter or key to unlock the doors, or turns the ignition on. The horn will sound and the headlamps will flash for up to two minutes. The system will also cut off the fuel supply, preventing the vehicle from being driven. Arming with the Power Lock Switch Your alarm system can be programmed to arm when you use either power lock switch to lock the doors while any door is open and the key is removed from the ignition. If you would like to arm the system with the power lock switch, see Vehicle Personalization on page 2-43. When programmed, the red light will flash quickly to let you know that the system is ready to arm with the power lock switches. When you press the rear of a power door lock switch, the red light will stop flashing and stay on to let you know that the system is arming. After all the doors are closed and locked, the red light will begin flashing at a very slow rate to let you know the system is armed.

2-1 5

Arming with the Remote Keyless Entry Transmitter The alarm system will arm when you use the remote keyless entry transmitter to lock the doors after the key is removed from the ignition. The red light will turn on to let you know the system is arming. After all doors are closed and locked, the red light will begin flashing at a very slow rate to let you know the system is armed. Arming Confirmation If the remote unlock confirmation is on, the headlamps will flash briefly to let you know when the alarm system has armed. See Vehicle Personalization on page 2-43 for programming information. Disarming with the Remote Keyless Entry Transmitter The alarm system will disarm when you use your remote keyless entry transmitter to unlock the doors. The red light will go off to let you know the system is disarmed.

Disarming with Your Key The alarm system will disarm when you use the key to unlock the doors. The red light will stop flashing when the system is disarmed. If you would like the key to disarm the alarm system, see Vehicle Personalization on page 2-43. PASS-Key@ 111 Your PASS-Key@ Ill system operates on a radio frequency subject to Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Rules and with Industry Canada. This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. This device complies with RSS-210 of Industry Canada. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.

2-1 6

Changes or modifications to this system by other than an authorized service facility could void authorization to use this equipment. PASS-Key@ Ill uses a radio frequency transponder in the key that matches a decoder in your vehicle. PASS-Key@ 111 Operation Your vehicle is equipped with PASS-Key@ Ill (Personalized Automotive Security System) theft-deterrent system. PASS-Key@ Ill is a passive theft-deterrent system. This means you don’t have to do anything special to arm or disarm the system. It works when you insert or remove the key from the ignition. When the PASS-Key@ Ill system senses that someone is using the wrong key, it shuts down the vehicle’s starter and fuel systems. The starter will not work and fuel will stop being delivered to the engine. Anyone using a trial-and-error method to start the vehicle will be discouraged because of the high number of electrical key codes. When trying to start the vehicle if the engine does not start and the SECURITY light comes on, the key may have a damaged transponder. Turn the ignition off and try again.

If the engine still does not start, and the key appears to be undamaged, try another ignition key. At this time, you may also want to check the fuse, see Fuses and Circuit Breakers on page 5-97. If the engine still does not start with the other key, your vehicle needs service. If your vehicle does start, the first key may be faulty. See your dealer who can service the PASS-Key@ Ill to have a new key made. In an emergency, contact Pontiac Roadside Assistance. See Roadside Assistance Program on page 7-5 for more information. It is possible for the PASS-Key@ Ill decoder to learn the transponder value of a new or replacement key. Up to 10 additional keys may be programmed for the vehicle. This procedure is for learning additional keys only. If all the currently programmed keys are lost or do not operate, you must see your dealer or a locksmith who can service PASS-Key@ Ill to have keys made and programmed to the system. See your dealer or a locksmith who can service PASS-Key@ Ill to get a new key blank that is cut exactly as the ignition key that operates the system.

2-1 7

Canadian Owners: If you lose or damage your keys, only a GM dealer can service PASS-Key@ Ill to have new keys made. To program additional keys, you will need two current driver’s keys (black in color). You must add a step to the following procedure. After Step 2, repeat Steps 1 and 2 with the second current driver’s key (black in color). Then continue with Step 3. To program the new key do the following:

1. Verify that the new key has PK3 stamped on it. 2. Insert the master key in the ignition and start

the engine. If the engine will not start, see your dealer for service.

3. After the engine has started, turn the key to OFF,

and remove the key.

4. Insert the key to be programmed and turn it to RUN

within five seconds of removing the original key.

5. The SECURITY light will turn off once the key has been programmed. It may not be apparent that the SECURITY light went on due to how quickly the key is programmed.

6. Repeat Steps 1 through 5 if additional keys are to

be programmed.

If you are ever driving and the SECURITY light comes on and stays on, you will be able to restart your engine if you turn it off. Your PASS-Key@ Ill system, however, is not working properly and must be serviced by your dealer. Your vehicle is not protected by the PASS-Key@ Ill system at this time. If you lose or damage your PASS-Key@ Ill key, see your dealer or a locksmith who can service PASS-Key@ Ill to have a new key made.

Starting and Operating Your Vehicle

New Vehicle Break-In

Ignition Positions With the key in the ignition switch, you can turn it to five different positions. The ignition switch is located on the right side of the steering column.

Notice: Your vehicle doesn’t need an elaborate “break-in.” But it will perform better in the long run if you follow these guidelines:

Don’t drive at any one speed - fast or slow - for the first 500 miles (805 km). Don’t make full-throttle starts. Avoid making hard stops for the first 200 miles (322 km) or so. During this time your new brake linings aren’t yet broken in. Hard stops with new linings can mean premature wear and earlier replacement. Follow this breaking-in guideline every time you get new brake linings. Don’t tow a trailer during break-in. See “Towing a Trailer” in the Index for more information.

A (ACCESSORY): This position lets you use things like the radio and windshield wipers while the engine is off. To use accessory, push in the key and turn it toward you. The steering wheel will stay locked.

3-1 9

Starting Your Engine Move your shift lever to PARK (P) or NEUTRAL (N). Your engine won’t start in any other position - that’s a safety feature. To restart while you’re already moving, use NEUTRAL (N) only. Nofice: Don’t try to shift to PARK (P) if your vehicle is moving. If you do, you could damage the transaxle. Shift to PARK (P) only when your vehicle is stopped. Shift Lock Release This vehicle is equipped with an electric shift lock release system. The shift lock release is designed to do the following:

Prevent ignition key removal unless the shift lever is in PARK (P) with the shift lever button fully released. Prevent movement of the shift lever out of PARK (P) unless the ignition is in a position other than OFF or LOCK. The shift lock release is always functional except in the case of a dead or low voltage (less than 9 V) battery.

Notice: If your key seems stuck in LOCK and you can’t turn it, be sure you are using the correct key; if so, is it all the way in? Turn the key only with your hand. Using a tool to force it could break the key or the ignition switch. If none of these works, then your vehicle needs service. B (LOCK): This position locks the ignition, steering wheel and transaxle. It’s a theft-deterrent feature. It’s also the only position from which you can remove the key. C (OFF): This position lets you turn off the engine but still turn the steering wheel. It doesn’t lock the steering wheel like LOCK. Use OFF if you must have the vehicle pushed or towed. D (RUN): This position is where the key returns to after you start the vehicle. With the engine off, you can use RUN to display some of the warning and indicator lights. E (START): This position starts the engine. A warning chime will sound if you open the driver’s door while the ignition is in OFF, LOCK or ACCESSORY and the key is in the ignition. Retained Accessory Power (RAP) With Retained Accessory Power, (RAP), the power windows, audio system and sunroof will continue to work up to 10 minutes after the ignition key is turned to OFF and none of the doors are opened.

2-20

If your vehicle has a dead battery or a battery with low voltage, there is an override access slot that will allow you to override the shift lock release.

. ":

The override access slot is located on the upper right side of the console shift panel.

To use the slot, do the following:

1. Verify that the shift lever is in PARK (P) and that

the shift lever button is fully released.

2. Locate the override access slot on the upper right

side of the shift panel.

3. Remove the override access slot cap. 4. insert a key into the access slot, press in and hold. 5. Press the shift lever button in and hold. 6. Remove the key from the slot. 7. Pull the shift lever into the desired gear position. 8. Reinstall the override access slot cap. You will not be able to remove the key from the ignition unless the shift lever is in the PARK (P) position with the shift lever button fully released. Starting Your 3100 V6 Engine 1. With your foot off the accelerator pedal, turn your ignition key to START. When the engine starts, let go of the key. The idle speed will go down as your engine gets warm.

Notice: Holding your key in START for longer than 15 seconds at a time will cause your battery to be drained much sooner. And the excessive heat can damage your starter motor. Wait about 15 seconds between each try to help avoid draining your battery or damaging your starter.

2-21

2. If your engine won’t start (or starts but then stops),

it could be flooded with too much gasoline. Try pushing your accelerator pedal all the way to the floor and holding it there as you hold the key in START for not more than 15 seconds at a time. This clears the extra gasoline from the engine.

Notice: Your engine is designed to work with the electronics in your vehicle. If you add electrical parts or accessories, you could change the way the engine operates. Before adding electrical equipment, check with your dealer. If you don’t, your engine might not perform properly. Starting Your 3800 Series II V6 Engine 1. With your foot off the accelerator pedal, turn

your ignition key to START. When the engine starts, let go of the key. The idle speed will go down as your engine gets warm.

Notice: Holding your key in START for longer than 15 seconds at a time will cause your battery to be drained much sooner. And the excessive heat can damage your starter motor. Wait about 15 seconds between each try to help avoid draining your battery or damaging your starter.

2. If it doesn’t start within 10 seconds, hold your key in

START for about 10 seconds at a time until your engine starts. Wait about 15 seconds between each try.

3. If your engine still won’t start (or starts but then

stops), it could be flooded with too much gasoline. Try pushing your accelerator pedal all the way to the floor and holding it there as you hold the key in START for about three seconds. If the vehicle starts briefly but then stops again, do the same thing. This time keep the pedal down for five or six seconds to clear the extra gasoline from the engine. After waiting about 15 seconds, repeat the normal starting procedure.

Notice: Your engine is designed to work with the electronics in your vehicle. If you add electrical parts or accessories, you could change the way the engine operates. Before adding electrical equipment, check with your dealer. If you don’t, your engine might not perform properly.

2-22

Engine Coolant Heater

To Use the Engine Coolant Heater 1. Turn off the engine. 2. Open the hood and unwrap the electrical cord.

The cord is located below the engine air cleaner/filter near the coolant reservoir bottle. See Engine Comparfment Overview on page 5-12 for more information on location.

3. Plug it into a normal, grounded 1 IO-volt AC outlet.

Your vehicle may be equipped with an engine coolant heater. In very cold weather, 0°F (-18°C) or colder, the engine coolant heater can help. You’ll get easier starting and better fuel economy during engine warm-up. Usually, the coolant heater should be plugged in a minimum of four hours prior to starting your vehicle. At temperatures above 32°F (OOC), use of the coolant heater is not required.

Plugging the cord into an ungrounded outlet could cause an electrical shock. Also, the wrong kind of extension cord could overheat and cause a fire. You could be seriously injured. Plug the cord into a properly grounded three-prong 110-volt AC outlet. If the cord won’t reach, use a heavy-duty three-prong extension cord rated for at least 15 amps.

4. Before starting the engine, be sure to unplug and

store the cord as it was before to keep it away from moving engine parts. If you don’t, it could be damaged.

2-23

How long should you keep the coolant heater plugged in? The answer depends on the outside temperature, the kind of oil you have, and some other things. Instead of trying to list everything here, we ask that you contact your dealer in the area where you’ll be parking your vehicle. The dealer can give you the best advice for that particular area.

Automatic Transaxle Operation

Maximum engine speed is limited when your vehicle is in PARK (P) or NEUTRAL (N) to protect driveline components from improper operation. There are several different positions for the shift lever.

PARK (P): This position locks the front wheels. It’s the best position to use when you start the engine because the vehicle can’t move easily.

It is dangerous to get out of your vehicle if the shift lever is not fully in PARK (P) with the parking brake firmly set. Your vehicle can roll. Don’t leave your vehicle when the engine is running unless you have to. If you have left the engine running, the vehicle can move suddenly. You or others could be injured. To be sure your vehicle won’t move, even when you’re on fairly level ground, always set your parking brake and move the shift lever to PARK (P). See “Shifting Into Park (P)” in the Index. If you’re pulling a trailer, see “Towing a Trailer” in the Index.

The automatic transaxle has a shift lever on the console between the seats. There is also a display of the gear positions on the instrument panel cluster near the speedometer and tachometer.

2-24

Make sure the shift lever is fully in PARK (P) before starting the engine. The vehicle has an automatic transaxle shift lock control system. You must fully apply the regular brakes and press the shift control button located on the front of the shift lever, before you can shift from PARK (P) when the ignition is in RUN. If you cannot shift out of PARK (P), ease pressure on the shift lever by pushing it all the way into PARK (P) while keeping the brake pedal pushed down. Release the shift lever button. Then move the shift lever out of PARK (P), being sure to press the shift lever button. See Shifting Out of Park (P) on page 2-30. REVERSE (R): Use this gear Notice: Shifting to REVERSE (R) while your vehicle is moving forward could damage your transaxle. Shift to REVERSE (R) only after your vehicle is stopped. To rock the vehicle back and forth to get out of snow, ice or sand without damaging the transaxle, see If You Are Stuck: In Sand, Mud, ice or Snow on page 4-32.

your enc_ e is “racing” (running at high speed) is dangerous. Unless your foot is firmly on the brake pedal, your vehicle could move very rapidly. You could lose control and hit people or objects. Don’t shift into a drive gear while your engine is racing.

Notice: Damage to your transaxle caused by shifting into a drive gear with the engine racing isn’t covered by your warranty.

(a):

AUTOMATIC OVERDRIVE normal driving. If you need more power for passing, and you’re:

This position is for

Going less than 35 mph (55 km/h), push your accelerator pedal about halfway down. Going about 35 mph (55 km/h) or more, push the accelerator pedal all the way down.

2-25

You’ll shift down to the next gear and have more power. Notice: If your vehicle seems to start up rather slowly, or if it seems not to shift gears as you go faster, something may be wrong with a transaxle system sensor. If you drive very far that way, your vehicle can be damaged. So, if this happens, have your vehicle serviced right away. Until then, you can use SECOND (2) when you are driving less than 35 mph (55 km/h) and AUTOMATIC OVERDRIVE (D) for higher speeds. THIRD (3): This position is also used for normal driving, but it offers more power and lower fuel economy than AUTOMATIC OVERDRIVE (@ ). Here are some times you might choose THIRD (3) instead of AUTOMATIC OVERDRIVE

(a):

When driving on hilly, winding roads.

When towing a trailer, so there is less shifting between gears. When going down a steep hill.

When driving in non-highway scenarios (i.e. city streets, etc.).

SECOND (2): This position gives you more power but lower fuel economy than THIRD (3). You can use SECOND (2) on hills. It can help control your speed as you go down steep mountain roads, but then you would also want to use your brakes off and on. Notice: Don’t drive in SECOND (2) for more than 25 miles (40 km), or at speeds over 55 mph (90 km/h), or you can damage your transaxle. Use THIRD (3) or AUTOMATIC OVERDRIVE (D) as much as possible. Don’t shift into SECOND (2) unless you are going slower than 65 mph (105 km/h) or you can damage your engine.

FIRST (1): This position gives you even more power but lower fuel economy than SECOND (2). You can use it on very steep hills, or in deep snow or mud. If the shift lever is in FIRST (I), the transaxle won’t shift into first gear until the vehicle is going slowly enough. Notice: If your front wheels won’t turn, don’t try to drive. This might happen if you were stuck in very deep sand or mud or were up against a solid object. You could damage your transaxle. Also, if you stop when going uphill, don’t hold your vehicle there with only the accelerator pedal. This could overheat and damage the transaxle. Use your brakes to hold your vehicle in position on a hill.

2-26

Parking Brake

A warning chime will sound if the parking brake is set, the ignition is on and the shift lever is not in PARK (P) or NEUTRAL (N). Notice: Driving with the parking brake on can cause your rear brakes to overheat. You may have to replace them, and you could also damage other parts of your vehicle. If you are towing a trailer and parking on a hill, see Towing a Trailer on page 4-37. That section shows what to do first to keep the trailer from moving.

The parking brake is located to the left of the brake pedai near the driver’s door. To set the parking brake, hold the regular brake pedal down with the right foot. Push down on the parking brake pedal, with the left foot.

To release the parking brake, hold the regular brake pedal down with the right foot and push the parking brake pedal with the left foot. When you lift the left foot, the parking brake pedal will follow it to the released position.

Shifting Into Park (P)

2. Move the shift lever into PARK (P) like this:

It can be dangerous to get out of your vehicle if the shift lever is not fully in PARK (P) with the parking brake firmly set. Your vehicle can roll. If you have left the engine running, the vehicle can move suddenly. You or others could be injured. To be sure your vehicle won’t move, even when you’re on fairly level ground, use the steps that follow. If you’re pulling a trailer, see “Towing a Trailer” in the Index.

1. Hold the brake pedal down with your right foot and

set the parking brake.

2-28

Press in and hold the shift lever button, located on the front of the shift lever. Push the lever all the way toward the front of the vehicle.

3. Turn the ignition key to LOCK. 4. Remove the key and take it with you. If you can leave your vehicle with the ignition key in your hand, your vehicle is in PARK (P).

Torque Lock If you are parking on a hill and you don’t shift your transaxle into PARK (P) properly, the weight of the vehicle may put too much force on the parking pawl in the transaxle. You may find it difficult to pull the shift lever out of PARK (P). This is called “torque lock”. To prevent torque lock, set the parking brake and then shift into PARK (P) properly before you leave the driver’s seat. To find out how, see Shifting Into Park (P) on page 2-28. When you are ready to drive, move the shift lever out of PARK (P) before you release the parking brake. If torque lock does occur, you may need to have another vehicle push yours a little uphill to take some of the pressure from the parking pawl in the transaxle, so you can pull the shift lever out of PARK (P).

Leaving Your Vehicle With the Engine Runqing

It can be dangerous to leave your vehicle with the engine running. Your vehicle could move suddenly if the shift lever is not fully in PARK (P) with the parking brake firmly set. And, if you leave the vehicle with the engine running, it could overheat and even catch fire. You or others could be injured. Don’t leave your vehicle with the engine running.

If you have to leave your vehicle with the engine running, be sure the vehicle is in PARK (P) and the parking brake is firmly set before you leave it. After you’ve moved the shift lever regular brake pedal down. Then, see if you can move the shift lever away from PARK (P) (without first pushing the shift lever button). If you can, it means that the shift lever wasn’t fully locked into PARK (P).

Parking Over Things That Burn

Shifting Out of Park (P) Your vehicle has an automatic transaxle shift lock control system. You must fully apply your regular brakes before you can shift from PARK (P) while the ignition is in RUN. See Automatic Transaxle Operation on page 2-24. If you cannot shift out of PARK (P), ease pressure on the shift lever by pushing it all the way into PARK (P) while keeping the brake pedal down. Release the shift lever button. Then move the shift lever out of PARK (P), being sure to press the shift lever button.

Engine Exhaust

Engine exhaust can A . It contains the gas carbon monoxide (CO), which you can’t see or smell. It can cause unconsciousness and death. You might have exhaust coming in if:

Your exhaust system sounds strange or different. Your vehicle gets rusty underneath.

0 Your vehicle was damaged in a collision. e Your vehicle was damaged when driving

over high points on the road or over road debris.

CAUTION:

(Continued)

Repairs weren’t done correctly. Your vehicle or exhaust system had been modified improperly.

If you ever suspect exhaust is coming into your vehicle:

Drive it only with all the windows down to blow out any CO; and

* Have your vehicle fixed immediately.

2-31

Running Your Engine While You Are Parked It’s better not to park with the engine running. But if you ever ha.-- to, here are som- ‘hings to know.

Idling the engine with the climate control system off could allow dangerous exhaust into your vehicle. See the earlier Caution under “Engine Exhaust.” Also, idling in a closed-in place can let deadly carbon monoxide (CO) into your vehicle even if the fan is at the highest setting. One place this can happen is a garage. Exhaust - with CO - can come in easily. NEVER park in a garage with the engine running. Another closed-in place can be a blizzard. See “Winter Driving” in the Index.

2-32

It can be dangerous to get out of your vehicle if the shift lever is not fully in PARK (P) with the parking brake firmly set. Your vehicle can roll. Don’t leave your vehicle when the engine is running unless you have to. If you’ve left the engine running, the vehicle can move suddenly. You or others could be injured. To be sure your vehicle won’t move, even when you’re on fairly level ground, always set your parking brake and move the shift lever to PARK (P).

Follow the proper steps to be sure your vehicle won’t move. See Shifting Into Park (P) on page 2-28. If you are parking on a hill and if you’re pulling a trailer, also see Towing a Trailer on page 4-37.
