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.
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.
From the outside, use your key or the remote keyless
entry transmitter.
To unlock the driver’s door from the outside with the
key, insert the key and turn it toward the front of
the vehicle. To lock the driver’s door from the outside
with your key, insert the key and turn it toward the rear
of the vehicle.
If your vehicle has power door locks, you may be able
to unlock all of the doors and the liftgate when you insert
the key, turn it toward the front of the vehicle, and
hold it there for one second. You may be able to lock all
of the doors when you insert the key and turn it toward
the rear of the vehicle.

Delayed Locking
This feature allows the locking of the vehicle to be
delayed until all doors have been closed for
approximately ve seconds.
To activate the delayed locking feature, do one of the
following:

while the driver’s door is open.

time while the passenger’s door is open.
Press the lock button on the remote keyless entry
transmitter one time while any door is open.
Two chimes will sound to signal that delayed locking is
active.
The doors may be locked immediately by repeating any
of the above actions more than one time.
If a door remains open, without any other door being
opened or closed, the vehicle will lock after
approximately 45 seconds.
If the key is in the ignition, this feature will not lock
the doors.
To turn the delayed locking feature off or on, seeDIC
Vehicle Personalization (Uplevel Only) on page 3-68.
Sliding Door Delayed Locking
If either sliding door is open when you use the power
door locks to lock the vehicle, the sliding door that
is open will not lock. Normally the delayed locking
feature will be used to lock the sliding door after it has
been closed.
The sliding door delayed locking feature will lock your
sliding door(s) in situations where the delayed
locking feature does not apply or was overridden or
programmed to be off. See “Delayed Locking” earlier in
this section. Shortly after the last sliding door is
closed, all the doors will lock.
Automatic Door Lock
All of the doors will lock automatically when you move
the shift lever out of PARK (P). This feature cannot
be disabled.
If someone needs to get out of the vehicle while it is not
in PARK (P), shift into PARK (P), or, have that person
use the manual lever or the power door lock switch.
When the door is closed again, it will lock when
the vehicle exceeds 5 mph (8 km/h).
With automatic door locks, you can lock or unlock the
doors at any time, either manually or by using the power
door lock switches.

unlock automatically when the shift lever is moved into
PARK (P).
To change the way the automatic door unlocking
operates, seeDIC Vehicle Personalization (Uplevel

Lockout Protection
The lockout protection feature makes it more difficult to
lock the key in the vehicle. If the driver’s door is
open while the key is in the ignition, the door cannot be
locked with the power door lock switch.
This feature cannot guarantee that you will never be
locked out of the vehicle. If the key is not left in
the ignition, or, if the manual door lock is used, the key
could still be locked inside the vehicle. Always
remember to take the key with you.

past the open detent position.
The driver’s side sliding door is designed to open only a
little if the fuel door is open. If this ever happens, do
not try to force the sliding door. Just close the driver’s
side sliding door. Then when the fuel ller door is
closed, the driver’s side sliding door can be opened
normally.
