SAFETY & SECURITY
Programmable Automatic Power
Door Locks
Your vehicle includes an automatic door
lock/unlock feature with a choice of four
modes, as well as automatic door lock-
out protection to prevent locking the
keys in the vehicle. In the event the
power door lock switch is activated
when a door is open and the key is in
the ignition, the driver door will unlock.
Locking Options: The default setting
for the programmable automatic power
door locks is to lock automatically when
the transmission is shifted into gear
(Mode 1).
Other locking options include:
Mode 2: All doors lock when vehicle
speed is over 8 mph (13 km/h)
Unlocking options: Choose one of the
following options before customizing
your unlocking preference:
Mode 1: Driver door unlocks when the
transmission is placed into Park
Mode 2: All doors unlock when the
transmission is shifted into Park
Mode 3: All doors unlock when the key
is removed from the ignition
Mode 4: No automatic door unlock
There are two methods for customizing
your vehicle locking/unlocking prefer-
ences. One method is to press the per-
sonalization button ( ) on the Driver
Information Center until AUTOMATIC
LOCKING (or AUTOMATIC UNLOCK-
ING) appears on the display. Press the
Select button ( ) until the desired set-
ting appears on the display and press
to select it.
Remote Keyless Entry System
The RKE system locks and unlocks the
doors and lift glass from a range of 3 to
30 feet (1–9 m). At times the range may
be shorter than usual, which is normal.
If the transmitter doesn’t seem to be
working properly:
• Ensure that you are within transmitter
range of the vehicle. Rainy and
snowy weather can reduce transmit-
ter range.
• Check to see whether other vehicles
or obstacles are blocking the trans-
mitter signal by stepping a few feet
to the left or right, and holding the
transmitter higher when pressing the
button(s).
• Consider the length of time that
the transmitter battery has been in
service and replace it if necessary
(the DIC will display RFA # BAT LOW
if the battery needs replacing). Use
CR 2032 battery or equivalent.
See Section 2 of your Owner Manual.
