Programmable Automatic Unlocking
All the doors will automatically unlock when the
shift lever is moved into PARK (P).
The unlocking feature can be programmed on or off by
turning the ignition to ON/RUN, engine not running,
and pressing the unlock part of the power door
lock switch for eight seconds. The horn will chirp once
when this feature is on and twice when it is off.
Rear Door Security Locks
Your vehicle has rear door security locks to prevent
passengers from opening the rear doors from the inside.
Open the rear doors to
access the security locks
on the inside edge of
each door.
To set the locks, insert a key into the slot and turn it to
the horizontal position. The door can only be opened
from the outside with the door unlocked. To return
the door to normal operation, turn the slot to the
vertical position.
Lockout Protection
If you press the power door lock switch when the key is
in the ignition and any door is open, all the doors will
lock and then the driver’s door will unlock. Be sure
to remove the key from the ignition when locking
your vehicle.
If the remote keyless entry transmitter is used to lock
the doors while the key is in the ignition, a chime
will sound three times. All doors will then lock.
