There are a couple of ways to lock and unlock
your vehicle manually.
From inside the vehicle,
use the manual door
lock knob. Pull up or
down on the knob to
unlock or lock the door.
To lock either door from the outside, turn the key
toward the rear of the vehicle. To unlock the
door, turn the key toward the front of the vehicle.
Power Door Locks
You can use the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
transmitter to lock and unlock the doors from inside
or outside the vehicle. SeeRemote Keyless
Entry (RKE) System Operation on page 63for
more information.
The power door lock switches are located on the
driver’s and passenger’s door.
Press the top of the switch to unlock all doors.
Press the bottom of the switch to lock all doors.
Delayed Locking
If your vehicle has power door locks, it will have
the delayed locking feature. This feature delays the
actual locking of the doors when the Remote
Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter is used to lock the
vehicle.
If any door is open when locking the vehicle using
the RKE transmitter, three chimes will sound
signaling that the delayed locking feature is active.
Five seconds after the last door is closed, both
doors will lock and the parking lamps will ash.
To cancel the delay and lock the doors immediately,
press the lock button on the RKE a second time.
If the key is in the ignition, this feature will not
lock the doors.
Your vehicle is programmed from the factory with
this feature turned off. To turn the feature on,
you must go through the Driver Information
Center (DIC). SeeDIC Vehicle Personalization
on page 152.

®III+ to have a new
key made. In an emergency, contact Roadside
Assistance. SeeRoadside Assistance Program

Let us say the road is wet and you are driving
safely. Suddenly, an animal jumps out in front of
you. You slam on the brakes and continue braking.
Here is what happens with ABS:
A computer senses that wheels are slowing down.
If one of the wheels is about to stop rolling, the
computer will separately work the brakes at each
wheel.ABS can change the brake pressure faster than
any driver could. The computer is programmed
to make the most of available tire and road
conditions. This can help you steer around the
obstacle while braking hard.
As you brake, your computer keeps receiving
updates on wheel speed and controls braking
pressure accordingly.
