The central locking switch also operates the automatic
central locking feature. With the automatic central lock-
ing feature activated, the doors and rear liftgate/decklid

unlocked.

position and hold the upper portion of the switch for a
minimum of five seconds. To deactivate, turn the key to
the ON/RUN position and hold the lower portion of the
switch for a minimum of five seconds.
NOTE:If the doors are unlocked with the central
locking switch after activating the automatic central
locking feature and neither door is opened, the doors
remain unlocked even at vehicle speeds of approximately
9 mph (15 km/h) or more.
NOTE:If you attempt to lock the doors with the key in
the ignition and the driver’s door open, the doors will not
lock.
