only on that door's lock. It won't lock or unlock all the
doors. Push the manual lever rearward to unlock and
forward to lock.
Last Door Closed Locking
This feature allows the doors to be locked while the
passengers are leaving the vehicle. This also provides a
brief time period after all the doors are closed, but
before the doors lock, in which the doors may be
opened. Last Door Closed Locking can be programmed
by the owner.

transmitter. After pressing the power door lock switch
once, three chimes will be heard. The three chimes
indicate that the Last Door Closed Locking has
been activated.
The driver has three actions possible once the Last Door
Closed Locking is activated:

Cancel the Last Door Closed Locking by pressing
the unlock switch or by fully inserting the key in
the ignition.

Override the Last Door Closed Locking feature and
lock the doors immediately by pressing the lock
switch a second time.

Let the Last Door Closed Locking feature complete
the locking of the vehicle.

additional action is required. The Last Door Closed
Locking feature will lock the doors automatically after

seconds. During this five second period, any door may
be reopened, at which time the three possible actions
shown previously are again available.

or off.
4. During this customization procedure, the chime will
sound, providing the driver feedback. A single chime
will be heard if the Last Door Closed Locking
feature is off, and two chimes will be heard if the
Last Door Closed Locking feature is on.
5. When the door unlock switch is released, the vehicle
will remain in the most recent operating mode.
The Last Door Closed Locking feature is enabled when

2-8 Rear Security Locks
Your vehicle is equipped
with rear door security
locks that help prevent
passengers from opening
the rear doors of your
vehicle from the inside.
To use one of these locks:
1. Open one of the rear doors.
2. On the inside of the rear door will be a lock. Insert
your master key into this lock and turn it upward.
This will engage the safety lock.
3. Close the door.
4. Do the same thing to the other rear door.
The rear doors of your vehicle cannot be opened from the
inside when this feature is in use. If you want to open the
rear door when the security lock is on, unlock the door
from the inside and then open the door from the outside.
Lockout Prevention
Lockout Prevention is a standard feature intended to
provide enhanced security and convenience. This feature
prevents a driver who has left the key in the ignition
from locking the doors using the power door lock switch
while any door is open.
To override this feature, when the key is in the ignition
and a door is open, hold the power door lock switch for
more than three seconds.
This feature cannot guarantee that you will never be
locked out of your vehicle. If you don't leave the key in
the ignition, or if you use the manual door lock, you
could still lock your keys inside your vehicle. Always
remember to take your keys with you.

Matching Transmitter(s) To Your Vehicle
Each remote keyless entry transmitter is coded to
prevent another transmitter from unlocking your vehicle.
If a transmitter is lost or stolen, a replacement can be
purchased through your dealer. Remember to bring any
remaining transmitters with you when you go to your
dealer. When the dealer matches the replacement
transmitter to your vehicle, any remaining transmitters
must also be matched. Once your dealer has coded the
new transmitter, the lost transmitter will not unlock your
vehicle. Each vehicle can have only four transmitters
matched to it.

2-12 Battery Replacement
Under normal use, the battery in your remote keyless
entry transmitter should last about two years.
You can tell the battery is weak if the transmitter won't
work at the normal range in any location. If you have to
get close to your vehicle before the transmitter works,
it's probably time to change the battery.
NOTICE:
When replacing the battery, use care not to touch
any of the circuitry. Static from your body
transferred to these surfaces may damage
the transmitter.
To replace your battery:
1. Insert a flat object like a dime into the slot on the
back of the transmitter. Gently pry apart the front
and back.
2. Gently pry the battery out of the transmitter. (Do not
use a metal object.)
3. Put the new battery into the transmitter as shown on
the transmitter (use a type CR2032 battery).
4. Put the two halves back together. Make sure the
halves are together tightly so water won't get in.
5. Resynchronize and then test the transmitter.
