Lockout protection
When the power door lock switch (driver or
front passenger) is moved to the lock
position with any door open, all doors will
lock and unlock automatically. With the
Intelligent Key left in the vehicle and any
door open, all doors will unlock automati-
cally and a chime will sound after the door
is closed.
These functions help to prevent the In-
telligent Key from being accidentally
locked inside the vehicle.
AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCKS
.All doors lock automatically when the
vehicle speed reaches 15 MPH (24
km/h).
. All doors unlock automatically when the
ignition switch is placed in the OFF
position.
The automatic unlock function can be
deactivated or activated. To deactivate or
activate the automatic door unlock system,
perform the following procedure:
1. Close all doors.
2. Place the ignition switch in the ON position. 3. Within 20 seconds of performing Step
2, push and hold the power door lock
switch to the
position (UNLOCK) for
more than 5 seconds.
4. When activated, the hazard indicator will flash twice. When deactivated, the
hazard indicator will flash once.
5. The ignition switch must be placed in the OFF and ON position again between
each setting change.
When the automatic door unlock system is
deactivated, the doors do not unlock when
the ignition switch is placed in the OFF
position. To unlock the door manually, use
the inside lock knob or the power door lock
switch (driver’s or front passenger’s side).

Extended storage fuse switch (if so
equipped)
To reduce battery drain, the extended
storage fuse switch comes from the factory
switched off. Prior to delivery of your
vehicle, the switch is pushed in (switched
on) and should always remain on.
If the extended storage fuse switch is not
pushed in (switched on), the“SHIPPING
MODE ON, PUSH STORAGE FUSE” warning
may appear on the dot matrix liquid crystal
display (if so equipped). See “Dot matrix
liquid crystal display” in the“2. Instru-
ments and controls” section. If any electrical equipment does not
operate, remove the extended storage fuse
switch and check for an open fuse.
NOTE:
If the extended storage fuse switch mal-
functions or if the fuse is open, it is not
necessary to replace the switch. In this
case, remove the extended storage fuse
switch and replace it with a new fuse of
the same rating.
How to remove the extended storage fuse
switch:
1. To remove the extended storage fuse switch, be sure the ignition switch is in
the OFF or LOCK position.
2. Be sure the headlight switch is in the OFF position.
3. Remove the fuse box cover.
4. Pinch the locking tabs
*1found on
each side of the storage fuse switch.
