Doors and Locks
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 will not open it.
You increase the chance of being
thrown out of the vehicle in a crash if
the doors are not 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.
CAUTION: (Continued)
CAUTION: (Continued)

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.
Because your vehicle has the theft-deterrent
system, you must unlock the doors from the
outside with the key or Remote Keyless
Entry (RKE) transmitter to avoid setting off the
alarm. If the windows are down and the doors are
locked, do not reach in to manually unlock the
vehicle because you will set off the alarm.
100

From the inside, use the
manual lock levers
located on the door
panels near the
windows.
Push down on the manual lock lever to lock the
door. To unlock the door, pull up on the lever.
Central Door Unlocking System
Your vehicle has a central door unlocking feature.
When unlocking the driver’s door, you can
unlock the other doors by holding the key in the
turned position for a few seconds or by quickly
turning the key twice in the lock cylinder.
Power Door Locks
The power door lock
switches are located
on the front doors.
Press the bottom part of the power door lock
switch to lock or the top of the switch to unlock all
the doors at once.
The rear doors do not have power door lock
switches. You must use the manual levers to
lock and unlock the rear doors when riding in
the rear seat.
101

Lockout Protection
If you press the power door lock switch when the
key is in the ignition and any door is open, all
the doors will lock and only the driver’s door will
unlock. If you close the doors, you can lock
them using the remote keyless entry transmitter.
Be sure to remove the key from the ignition
when locking your vehicle.
This feature can be overridden by pressing
the lock button on the remote keyless entry
transmitter or by pressing the power lock switch
a second time.
Trunk
{CAUTION:
It can be dangerous to drive with the
trunk lid open because carbon monoxide
(CO) gas can come into your vehicle.
You cannot see or smell CO. It can cause
unconsciousness and even death. If you
must drive with the trunk lid open or
if electrical wiring or other cable
connections must pass through the seal
between the body and the trunk lid:
Make sure all other windows are shut.
Turn the fan on your heating or
cooling system to its highest speed
and select the control setting that will
force outside air into your vehicle.
See Climate Control System.
If you have air outlets on or under
the instrument panel, open them all
the way.

pet alone in a vehicle, especially with the
windows closed in warm or hot weather.

Programming the Power Windows
If the battery on your vehicle has been recharged,
disconnected, or is not working, you will need to
reprogram each front power window for the
express-up feature to work. Before reprogramming,
replace or recharge your vehicle’s battery.To program each window, follow these steps:
1. With the ignition in ACCESSORY, ON or when
Retained Accessory Power (RAP) is active,
press and hold the down arrow on the
power window switch until the window has
fully opened.
2. Press the up arrow on the power window
switch until the window is fully closed.
3. Continue holding the up arrow on the switch
for approximately two seconds after the
window is completely closed.
The window is now reprogrammed. Repeat the
process for the other front window.
Express Window Anti-Pinch Feature
If any object is in the path of the window when the
express-up is active, the window will stop at the
obstruction and automatically reverse to a preset
factory position. Weather conditions such as
severe icing may also cause the window to
automatically reverse. The window will return to
normal operation once the obstruction or condition
is removed.
