If your vehicle has power
door locks, press 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 REAR
HATCH button. See “Rear Hatch and Dutch Doors

this section.
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 press 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.

door and set the locks from inside. Then get
out and
close the door.
