The childproof door locks are
designed to prevent children seated
in the rear f rom accidentally opening
the rear doors. Each rear door has a
lock lever near the edge. With the
lever in the LOCK position, the door
cannot be opened f rom inside
regardless of the position of the lock
tab. To open the door, pull the lock
tab up, and use the outside door
handle. Pressthisbuttononce
to unlock the driver’s door. Push it
twice to unlock the other doors and
the tailgate. Some exterior lights will
f lash twice each time you press the
button.
Press this button once to
lock all doors and the tailgate. Some
exterior and interior lights will f lash.
When you push LOCK twice within 5
seconds, you will hear a beep to
verify that the security system has
set. You cannot lock it if any door is
not f ully closed or the key is in the
ignition switch. When you press the UNLOCK
button, the f ront and rear individual
map lights, depending on the interior
light control switch position, will
come on (see page ). If you do
not open any door, the lights stay on
f or about 30 seconds, then go out. If
you relock the doors and the tailgate
with the remote transmitter before
30 seconds have elapsed, the lights
will go of f immediately.
If you do not open any door or the
tailgate within 30 seconds, they will
automatically relock, and the
security system (if equipped) will
reset.
