If you have this option, your vehicle must be in either PARK (P) or
NEUTRAL
(N) to release the hatch and unlock the Dutch doors. If your
battery is dead, the hatch and doors will not open, even from the outside
with a key.
To release the hatch
and unlock the doors
from the inside of the
vehicle, press the
HATCH REL switch
on the instrument
panel. It is located on
the driver’s side of the
steering column. The
hatch will release with
or without the key in
the ignition.
Then, pull up on the hatch handle and open the doors.
To release the hatch using the optional Keyless Entry hand held transmitter,
see “Keyless Entry System” in the Index.
To release the hatch
and unlock the doors
from the outside of the
vehicle, put the key in
the lock and turn
clockwise. Then, pull
up on the hatch and
open the right rear
door first. Grasp the

If your vehicle has
power door locks,
push the power door
lock switch to lock or
unlock all the doors at
once.
The power door lock switch will not lock or unlock the rear hatch and Dutch
doors.
You must use the HATCH REL switch. See “Rear Hatch and Dutch

Every vehicle with power door locks has
a pulse lock system. A pulse lock
system works like this:
If the sliding door is open and you push the power door lock switch, the
sliding door will not lock immediately. After
you close the door, the system
comes on and, in about five seconds, locks the sliding door.
All models have overriding door locks. When
a door is locked, the door
handle will not work the latch. This will help stop a door from being
accidentally opened. However, power door locks do
not affect the operation
of the hatch.
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.
Keyless Entry System
If your vehicle has this option, you can lock and unlock your doors or hatch
from up to
30 feet (9 m) away using the key chain transmitter supplied with
your vehicle.
Your Keyless Entry System operates on a radio frequency subject to Federal
Communications Commission (FCC) Rules.
