Door Locks
CAUTION:
Unlocked doors can be dangerous.

Passengers -- especially children -- can
easily open the doors and fall out of a
moving vehicle. When a door is locked,
the handle won't open it. You increase the
chance of being thrown out of the vehicle
in a crash if the doors aren't locked.
So, wear safety belts properly and lock
the doors whenever you drive.

Young children who get into unlocked
vehicles may be unable to get out. A child
can be overcome by extreme heat and can
suffer permanent injuries or even death
from heat stroke. Always lock your vehicle
whenever you leave it.

Outsiders can easily enter through an
unlocked door when you slow down or stop
your vehicle. Locking your doors can help
prevent this from happening.
There are several ways to lock and unlock your vehicle.
From the outside, use your key or keyless entry
transmitter (if equipped).
From the inside, use the manual lever. Each door has
a lever that works only on that door's lock. The lever
won't unlock or lock all the doors. Push the lever
rearward to unlock and forward to lock.

2-7 Power Door Locks

switch located on either
front door near the handle to
lock or unlock all the doors.
The rear doors do not have power door lock switches.
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 reopened.
Last door closed locking is activated by either the
power door lock switch inside the vehicle or by pressing
LOCK on the remote keyless entry transmitter
(if equipped). 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.
If you wish to let the last door closed locking feature
complete the locking cycle, no additional action is
required. The last door closed locking feature will lock
the doors automatically after all the doors have been
closed for a period of five seconds. During this
five second period, any door may be reopened.
You can customize or disable the last door closed
locking feature. If disabled, the doors will lock
immediately when a power door lock switch is pressed.
