Power Door Locks — If Equipped

A door lock switch is on each front door panel. Press this
switch to lock or unlock the doors.

If the plunger is down when the door is closed, the door
will lock. Therefore, make sure the keys are not inside the
vehicle before closing the door.

If you press the door lock switch while the keys are in the
ignition switch, and the driver’s door is open, the doors
will not lock.

The rear doors cannot be opened from inside the vehicle
until you pull up the lock plungers.

Automatic Door Locks — If Equipped

The doors will lock automatically if:

1. all doors are closed,

2. vehicle speed is above 15 mph (24 km/h),

3. and the accelerator pedal is depressed.

This will occur only once, will not reoccur until a door is
opened.
