Pull the passenger door release
handle.
From Outside the Vehicle
There are two back up key cylinders
outside, one to open the left hand
door and one to open the trunk:
In the air inlet located on the body,
rearward of the left door handle.
Remove the license plate to access
the second backup key lock cylinder
for the trunk.
Free-Turning Locks
The door key lock cylinder turns
freely when either the wrong
mechanical key is used or the
correct mechanical key is not fully
inserted. The free-turning door lock
feature prevents the lock from being
forced open. To reset the lock, turn
it to the vertical position with the
correct mechanical key fully
inserted. Remove the mechanical
key and insert it again. If this does
not reset the lock, turn the
mechanical key halfway around in
the cylinder and repeat the reset
procedure.
Delayed Locking
This feature delays the actual
locking of the doors until
five seconds after all doors are
closed.
When
Q
is pressed on the power
door lock switch with the door open,
a chime will sound three times
indicating that delayed locking is
active.
The doors will then lock
automatically five seconds after all
doors are closed. If a door is
reopened before five seconds have
elapsed, the five-second timer will
reset once all the doors are closed
again.
Press
Q
on the door lock switch
again, or press
Q
on the remote
key, to override this feature and lock
the doors immediately.
