Door Locks (CONI)
From the Inside:
To lock the door, slide the locking lever
rearward.
To unlock the door, slide the locking lever
forward.
Power Door Locks
With power door locks, you can lock or
unlock all
the doors of your vehicle from
the driver or front passenger door lock
switch.
On four-door models, the lever 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.
All of your doors will lock when
you move your shift lever out of PARK (P)
or NEUTRAL (N). Each time you close
your doors and
turn on the ignition, the
doors
will lock automatically. If someone
needs to get out while the vehicle is
running, have
that person use the manual
or power lock. If the shift lever is NOT
in PARK (P) or NEUTRAL (N) when the
opened door
is closed, all doors will be
locked
when the door is closed.
If the shift lever is in PARK (P) or
NEUTRAL
(N) when the opened door is
closed,
all doors will be locked when you
shift out of PARK (P).
Automatic Door Unlock
When you turn the ignition off, all doors
will automatically unlock. If you want to
disable the automatic unlock feature,
remove the Automatic Door Unlock fuse
from the fuseblock (See Index under “Fuses
& Circuit Breakers”).
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.

drivers won’t see your turn signal.
If a bulb is burned out, replace it to help
avoid an accident. If the green arrows

go on at all when you signal a turn,
check the fuse (see “Fuses

I Headlight Wiring
The headlight wiring is protected by a
circuit breaker in the fuse block. An

in some cases, to remain
off. If this happens, have your headlight
system checked right away.
I

The windshield wiper motor is protected
~y a circuit breaker and a fuse. If the

:lectrical problem, have
it fixed.
Power Windows and Other
Power Options

leavy, the circuit breaker opens and
:loses, protecting
the circuit until the
