power locks will not operate. This prevents you from
accidentally locking the Key Fob in the vehicle. Remov-
ing the Key Fob or closing the door will allow the locks
to operate. If a door is open, and the ignition is in the
LOCK or ACC position, a chime will sound as a
reminder to remove the Key Fob. Automatic Door Locks
