DESCRIPTION OF STRUCTURE AND
OPERATION

•When the driver's door inner lock knob is oper-
ated to the lock position with all doors closed, all
the doors (including tailgate) will lock.
•The driver’s door can be opened by pulling the
driver’s door inner handle even when the driver’s
door inner lock knob is in the lock position. This
function is called "Override function". All doors
and tailgate can be unlocked at the same time
