Door Locks
CAUTION:
Unlocked doors can be dangerous.
Passengers -- especially children -- can easily
open the doors and fall out. When a door is
locked, the inside handle won't open it.
Outsiders can easily enter through an unlocked
door when you slow down or stop your vehicle.
This may not be so obvious: You increase the
chance of being thrown out of the vehicle in a
crash if the doors aren't locked. Wear safety belts
properly, lock your doors, and you will be far
better off whenever you drive your vehicle.
There are several ways to lock and unlock your vehicle.You can use the key, manual door locks, power door
locks or keyless entry system.
To lock the door from the
inside, slide the lever down.
To unlock the door, slide the
lever up.
The manual switch on each door works only that door's
lock. It won't lock (or unlock) all of the doors
-- that's a
safety feature.
To unlock the door from the outside, you can also use
your key, but your vehicle has a theft
-deterrent system.
If it is armed, unlocking and opening the door this way
might set off the alarm. See ªTheft
-Deterrent Systemº in
the Index.

2-5 Power Door Locks
Press the side of the power
door lock switch marked
LOCK on either front door
to lock all the doors at once.
Press the ribbed side of the switch to unlock all the
doors at once. The power door locks will operate at
any time.
Operating the power locks may affect the theft
-deterrent
system. See ªTheft
-Deterrent Systemº in the Index.
On the passenger side of the
rear panel door or tailgate,
there is a power lock switch
which can be used to lock or
unlock all of the doors.
On vehicles with panel doors, if the power lock switch is
pressed with the panel doors open, all of the doors will
lock three seconds after the panel doors are closed. If the
panel doors are closed, the vehicle doors will lock when
a power door lock switch is pressed. The theft
-deterrent
system will not re
-arm after the panel doors are closed
unless the power lock switch is pressed first.

2-6 Rear Door Security Locks
With this feature, you can
lock the rear side doors so
they can't be opened from
the inside by passengers.
Move the button up to engage the security feature. Move the
button down to return the door locks to normal operation.
Lockout Prevention
This feature protects you from locking your key in the
vehicle, by stopping the power door locks from locking
when the key is in the ignition in OFF and a door is open.
If the power door lock switch is pressed when a door is open
and the key is in the ignition, none of the doors will lock.
See ªFeature Customizationº in the Index for further
information on turning this feature on and off.
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. For information on how to set the door
locks, see ªTheft
-Deterrent Systemº and ªFeature
Customizationº in the Index.
