Doors and Locks

You can use the power door lock control or the remote control to lock and unlock your doors and tailgate. See Tailgate Lock (page 213).

Note: Always take your keys and lock all doors when leaving your vehicle.

The power door lock control is on the driver and front passenger door panels.

 

An LED on the power door lock control illuminates when you lock the door.

With the ignition off, press and hold both the lock and unlock buttons on the remote control for three seconds to change between driver door or all door unlock mode. The direction indicators will flash twice to indicate a change to the unlocking mode. Driver door mode only unlocks the driver door when you press the unlock button once. All door mode unlocks all doors when you press the unlock button once. The unlocking mode applies to the remote control and Intelligent Access Key.

Press the button to lock all doors. The direction indicators will flash.

Press the button again within three seconds to confirm that all the doors are closed. The doors will lock again, the horn will sound and the direction indicators will flash if all the doors are closed.

Turn the top of the key toward the front of your vehicle once to lock all doors. Turn the top of the key toward the rear of your vehicle once to unlock the driver door only.

If the central locking function does not operate, lock the doors individually using the key in the position shown.

Press the button to unlock the driver door.

Press the button again within three seconds to unlock all doors. The direction indicators will flash.

 

Pull the interior door handle twice to unlock and open a rear door. The first pull unlocks the door and the second pull opens the door.

This helps to prevent you from locking yourself out of your vehicle if the key is still in the ignition.

When you open one of the front doors and lock your vehicle with the power door lock control, all the doors will lock then unlock and the horn will sound twice if the key is still in the ignition.

You can still lock your vehicle with the key in the ignition by:

Pressing the lock button on the transmitter even if the doors are not closed.

If both front doors are closed, you can lock your vehicle by any method, regardless of whether the key is in the ignition or not.

Autounlock unlocks all the doors when:

The ignition is on, all the doors are closed, and your vehicle has been moving at a speed greater than 4 mph (7 km/h).
Your vehicle comes to a stop and you switch the ignition off or to the accessory position.
You open the driver door within 10 minutes of switching the ignition off or to accessory.
