NOTICE

If you have the optional Remote Keyless Entry system,
your vehicle has a special security feature. If the driver’s
door is open and your key is in the ignition in the OFF
position, you won’t be able to set the door locks with the
power door lock switch or the remote transmitter. This
feature is designed to help keep you from locking your
keys in your vehicle.
If the sliding door is open when you press the power
door lock switch, it will lock automatically within five
seconds after you close it.
If you have the optional Remote Keyless Entry system,
this feature will be replaced by a different lock delay
system. See “Remote Keyless Entry” later in this
section.
With power locks, when the doors are locked, the inside
as well as the outside door latch release cannot open the
doors. This safety feature prevents a door from being
accidentally opened from the inside by moving the
handle.
To override this safety feature, slide the locking lever to
the unlock position on the door you want to open.
When the liftgate has been unlocked with the power
door locks, you won’t need the key to open it. Simply
turn the lock clockwise until the latch releases. This is
also true if you use the optional Remote Keyless Entry
transmitter. See “Remote Keyless Entry” later in this
section.
To lock the liftgate, use the power door lock switch, the
optional Remote Keyless Entry transmitter, or lock it
manually by turning the lock counterclockwise.
Automatic Door Locks (Option)
With this feature you can unlock all of the doors from
the outside by holding the key in the unlock position for
one second. To unlock only the driver’s or passenger’s
door, turn the key to the unlock position and release.
From the inside, when the ignition is on and the driver’s
door is closed, all doors will lock each time you move
the shift lever out of PARK (P). If the passenger door or
the liftgate are open when you move the shift lever out
of PARK (P), they will lock when closed.
If the sliding door is open when you move the shift lever
out of PARK (P) or manually lock the doors using the
power door lock switches, a lock delay feature allows
the sliding door to lock five seconds after it is closed.
All other doors will lock again, too.
With the automatic door locks feature, you can still lock
or unlock the doors at any time, either manuaIIy or with
the power door lock switches.
