Rear Door Security Locks (4-Door Models)
Your vehicle is equipped with rear door security locks that
help prevent passengers from opening the rear doors of
your vehicle from the inside. To use one of these locks:
1. Open one of the rear doors.
2. On the inside of the rear
door will be a lock.
Insert your master key
into this lock and turn it
counterclockwise. This
will engage the
safety lock.
3. Close the door.
4. Do the same thing to the other rear door lock.
The rear doors of your vehicle cannot be opened from
inside the vehicle when this feature is in use. If you want
to open a rear door when the security lock is on, unlock
the door from the inside and then open the door from
the outside.
Lockout Prevention
The Lockout Deterrent feature makes it difficult for you
to lock your keys in your vehicle. If the driver’s door is
open while the keys are in the ignition, you will not be
able to use your power door lock switch.
This feature cannot guarantee that you’ll never be
locked out of your vehicle. If you don’t leave the keys in
the ignition, or if you use the manual door lock, you
could still lock your keys inside your vehicle. Always
remember to take your keys with you.
To turn this feature on or off, see “Locks and Lighting
Choices” in the Index.
Leaving Your Vehicle
If you are leaving the vehicle, take your keys, open your
door and set the locks from inside. Then get out and
close the door.
