position, you won’t be able to set the door locks with the
power door lock switch or the remote transmitter.
This
feature is designed to help keep you from locking your
keys in your vehicle.
If the sliding door is open wheq you press the power
door locks switch, it will lock automatically within five
seconds after you close it.
If you have the optional Remote Lock Control system,
this feature will be replaced by a different lock delay
system. See “Remote Lock Control” later in this section.
With power locks, when the doors
are locked, the inside as
well as the outside door latch release 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, slide the locking lever to
the unlock position on 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 turn the
lock clockwise until the latch releases. This is also true if
you use the optional Remote Lock Control transmitter.
See “Remote Lock Control” later in this section.
To lock the liftgate, use either the power door lock switch or
the optional Remote Lock Control transmitter.
You may
also lock it manually by turning the lock counterclockwise.
Automatic Door Locks (Option)
With this feature you can unlock all of the doors from
the outside by holding the key
in the unlock position for
one second.
To unlock only the driver’s or passenger’s
door, turn the key to the unlock position and release.
From the inside, when the ignition is on and the driver’s
door
is closed, all doors will lock each time you move
the shift lever out of PARK (P). If the passenger’s door
or the liftgate are open when you move the shift lever
out of PARK
(P), they will lock when closed.
If the sliding door is open when you move the shift lever
out of PARK (P) or manually lock the doors using the
power door lock switches, a lock delay feature allows
the sliding door
to lock five seconds after it is closed.
All other doors will lock again, too.
With the automatic door locks feature, you can still lock
or unlock the doors at any time, either manually or with
the power
door lock switches.
Overriding Lock Delay
To override the lock delay feature, press the front of the
power door locks switch (the unlock position) while the
shift lever is in PARK
(P).
