Footwell Light Switches

(if equipped)
A special feature available only on Red
Line models is ambient footwell lighting.
This feature displays a subdued amber
or blue light from the footwell area.
(Footwell Light): Press this three-
position light switch, located on each
side of the center console near the gear-
shift lever, to turn the footwell light on or
off. Switch position 1 is amber lighting
and switch position 2 is blue lighting.
The center position on the switch is Off.
See Section 3 of your Owner Manual.

Lockout Prevention

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
towing 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
