You can lock or unlock all doors of your
vehicle from the driver or passenger
door lock switch.
On 4-door models, the switch on each
rear door works only that door’s lock. It
won’t lock (or unlock) all of the
doors-that’s a safety feature.

Automatic Door Locks
Just close your doors and turn on the
ignition. If
you have an automatic
transaxle, all
of the doors will lock
when you move your shift lever out of
P
(Park) or N (Neutral). If you have a
manual transaxle, all of the doors will
lock when the vehicle goes about
8 mph
(13 ldh) . If someone needs to get out
while the vehicle is running, have that
person use the manual or power lock.
When the door is closed again,
it will
lock automatically when you move your
shift lever out
of P (Park) or N
(Neutral). If you have a manual
transaxle, the doors will lock when the
vehicle reaches about
8 mph (13 Mh).
All doors will automatically unlock
when the key is turned to the
OFF
position. If
you don’t want
the doors to
automatically unlock when the key
is
turned to the OFF position, you can
remove the Automatic Door Unlock
fuse. For fuse location, see the
Index
under Fuse Usage.
Leaving Your Vehicle
If you are leaving the vehicle, open your
door and set the locks from inside. Then
