Using the Power Door Locks
Your vehicle has power door locks. The controls
to lock the doors are on the trim panel of the front
door. When you close the doors after you set the
door locks, the doors remain locked. If the power
mechanism ever fails, the manual door lock will
override the power controls.

Smart Locks
The Smart Locks feature helps prevent you from
locking the keys in your vehicle. With the key in
the ignition (in any switch position) and either
the driver's or passenger's door open, the doors
cannot be locked using the front door lock
switches.
NOTE: Your vehicle can still be locked, while
the key is in the ignition, by manually pressing
down the lock button or with remote/keyless
entry.

/!\WARNINGDo not let children play with the powerwindows. They may seriously hurtthemselves. Make sure occupants areclear of the window(s) before closing.NOTE: Your vehicle is also equipped with a
delayed accessory timer. This allows some of your
accessories to remain on for up to 10 minutes after
the key is turned to the OFF position. The
accessory timer is cancelled if any door is opened
or the key is turned to the ON position.
112The master controls on the driver's door
To lock our all window switches except the
master controls, press the window lock switch
once. To restore control to the individual
windows, press the switch again.
There is also an Express Down feature on the
driver's power window. This feature can be
activated through the menu functions of your
Message Center.

immediately replace it with a new one. If a bulb is
removed for an extended period of time,
contaminants may enter the headlamp housing and
affect its performance.
