Power Door Locks
From the inside, press the front of the power door lock
switch (on either front door) to unlock all doors and the
liftgate. With the content theft
-
deterrent system, the
power door lock switch will not unlock the doors until
the system is disarmed. See “Content Theft
-
Deterrent”
in the Index for more details.
You can lock all doors and the liftgate from the inside by
pressing the rear of the power lock switch on either front
door. With the content theft
-
deterrent system, the power
door lock switch may cause the system to arm. See
“Content Theft
-
Deterrent” in the Index for more details.
To unlock any door or the liftgate from the outside with
your key, turn the key toward the front of the vehicle
and release it. This will only unlock that door or the
liftgate. To unlock all the doors and the liftgate at once,
insert the key into the key cylinder, then turn it toward
the front of the vehicle and hold it for one second.
With power door locks, you can lock all the doors from
the outside by inserting the key and turning the key
toward the rear of the vehicle.
Also, when the doors are locked with the power door
locks, the inside as well as the outside door handle
cannot open the doors. This safety feature prevents
a door from being accidentally opened from the inside
by moving the handle.
To override this safety feature, unlock the door you want
to open.
When the liftgate has been unlocked with the power
door locks, you won’t need the key to open it. Simply
squeeze the handle located above the license plate.
This is also true if you use the remote keyless entry
transmitter. See “Remote Keyless Entry System” later in
this section.
