With the power door locks,
you can unlock or lock all
the doors on your vehicle
using either the driver’s
or front passenger’s door
lock switch.
Pull up on the switch to unlock all the doors. Push down

Door Ajar Reminder
If one of the doors on your vehicle is not closed
properly, the ignition is on and you shift from PARK (P)
or NEUTRAL (N), you will hear a chime. Also, the door
ajar light on the instrument panel will come on and stay
on until the doors are closed.
Programmable Automatic Door Locks
With this feature, when you close all the doors, turn on
the ignition and shift out of PARK (P), all of the doors
will lock. If someone needs to get out while the vehicle
is running, have that person use either the lock lever or
the power door lock switch. When the door is closed
again, it will lock automatically when the vehicle
reaches about 5 mph (8 km/h). All doors will
automatically unlock when the shift lever is moved to
PARK (P) and the key is turned to OFF.
Customizing the Automatic Door Locks
One of four operating modes may be selected and
programmed by the driver:

transaxle is shifted out of PARK (P). The doors will
remain locked unless manually unlocked or the lock
button is pressed. All doors will unlock when the
transaxle is shifted into PARK (P) and the key is
turned to OFF.
D Mode 2: All doors automatically lock when the
transaxle is shifted out of PARK (P). Automatic
