as when you park and leave the
vehicle.
When leaving the vehicle, always remove the Key Fob from the ig-
nition and lock your vehicle.
Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or with access to an un-
locked vehicle. Allowing children
to be in a vehicle unattended is
dangerous for a number of rea-

WARNING!(Continued)
Do not leave the Key Fob in or
near the vehicle, or in a location
accessible to children, and do not
leave the ignition of a vehicle
equipped with Keyless Enter-N-
Go™ in the ACC or ON/RUN
mode. A child could operate

POWER DOOR LOCKS (for
versions/markets, where
provided)
A power door lock switch is on each
front door trim panel. Use this switch
to lock or unlock the doors.
If you press the power door lock
switch while the Key Fob is in the ignition, and any front door is open,
the power locks will not operate. This
prevents you from accidentally lock-
ing your keys in the vehicle. Remov-
ing the Key Fob or closing the door
will allow the locks to operate. A
chime will sound if the Key Fob is in
the ignition switch and a door is open,
as a reminder to remove the Key Fob.
If you press the power door lock
switch while the sliding door is open,
the sliding door will lock.

NOTE:
If “Unlock All Doors 1st
Press” is programmed all doors will
unlock when you grab hold of the
driver’s front door handle. To select
between “Unlock Driver Door 1st
Press” and “Unlock All Doors 1st

To Unlock From The Passenger
Side:
With a valid Passive Entry RKE
transmitter within 1.5 m of the pas-
senger door handle, grab the front
passenger door handle to unlock all
four doors automatically. The interior
door panel lock knob will raise when
the door is unlocked.
NOTE: All doors will unlock
when the front passenger door
handle is grabbed regardless of the
driver’s door unlock preference
setting (“Unlock Driver Door 1st
Press” or “Unlock All Doors 1st

Preventing Inadvertent Locking Of
Passive Entry RKE Transmitter In
Vehicle
To minimize the possibility of unin-
tentionally locking a Passive Entry
RKE transmitter inside your vehicle,
the Passive Entry system is equipped
with an automatic door unlock fea-
ture which will function if there is no
Key Fob present in the ignition. If one of the vehicle doors is open and
the door panel switch is used to lock
the vehicle, once all open doors have
been closed the vehicle checks the in-
side and outside of the vehicle for any
valid Passive Entry RKE transmitters.
If one of the vehicle's Passive Entry
RKE transmitters is detected inside
the vehicle, and no other valid Passive
Entry RKE transmitters are detected
outside the vehicle, the Passive Entry
System automatically unlocks all ve-
hicle doors and chirps the horn three
times (on the third attempt ALL
doors will lock and the Passive Entry
RKE transmitter can be locked in the
vehicle).
To Enter The Liftgate
With a valid Passive Entry RKE
transmitter within 1.5 m of the lift-
gate, cycle the handle to open the
liftgate and pull the liftgate open with
one fluid motion.
NOTE: All doors will remain
locked when the liftgate release
handle is pressed regardless of the
driver’s door unlock preference
