Power Door Locks
From the inside, press the front of the power door lock
switch (on either front door) to unlock all doors and the
liftgate. If your vehicle is equipped with the content
theft
-deterrent system, the power door lock switch will
not unlock the doors until the system is disarmed. See
ªContent Theft
-Deterrentº in the Index for more details.
You can lock all doors and the liftgate from the inside by
pressing the rear of the power lock switch on either front
door. If your vehicle is equipped with the content
theft
-deterrent system, the power door lock switch may
cause the system to arm. See ªContent Theft
-Deterrentº
in the Index for more details.To unlock any door or the liftgate from the outside with
your key, turn the key to the unlock position and release.
This will only unlock that door or the liftgate. To unlock
all the doors and the liftgate at once, insert the key into
the key cylinder, then turn to the unlock position and
hold for one second.
With power door locks, you can lock all the doors from
the outside by inserting the key and turning the key to
the lock position.
Also, when the doors are locked with the power door
locks, the inside as well as the outside door handle
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, move 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
squeeze the handle above the license plate. This is also
true if you use the optional remote lock control
transmitter. See ªRemote Lock Controlº later
in this section.

If you don't leave the keys in the ignition or if you use
the manual door lock, you could still lock your keys
in your vehicle. Always remember to take your keys
