Locking the DoorsPress the button to lock all the doors. The turn signals will
illuminate.
Press the button again within three seconds to confirm that all the doors
are closed. The doors will lock again, the horn will sound and the turn
signals will illuminate if all the doors and the luggage compartment are
closed.
Note: If any door or the luggage compartment is open, or if the hood is
open on vehicles with an anti-theft alarm or remote start, the horn
sounds twice and the lamps will not flash.
Opening the Trunk
Press the button twice within three seconds to open the trunk.
Make sure to close and latch the trunk before driving your vehicle. An
unlatched trunk may cause objects to fall out or block your view.
Activating Intelligent Access (If Equipped)
You must have the intelligent access key within 3 feet (1 meter) of your
vehicle.
At the Front Doors
Pull a front exterior door handle to unlock and open the door. The
unlock sensor is on the back of the handle. Make sure not to touch the
lock sensor area on the front of the handle. Press and hold the lock sensor area
for about a second to lock your
vehicle. To avoid unlocking the door
inadvertently, make sure to only
touch the lock sensor and not other
areas of the door handle.
After locking the doors with the
lock sensor, there is a brief delay
before you can unlock your vehicle. This delay lets you pull the door
handle to make sure it locked.
Note: Keep the door handle surface clean to avoid issues with operation.
At the Trunk
Press the exterior trunk release button hidden near the license plate.

INTERIOR LUGGAGE COMPARTMENT RELEASE
WARNING:Keep vehicle doors and luggage compartment locked
and keep keys and remote transmitters out of a child’s reach.
Unsupervised children could lock themselves in the trunk and risk
injury. Children should be taught not to play in vehicles.
WARNING: Do not leave children, unreliable adults, or animals
unattended in your vehicle. On hot days, the temperature in the
trunk or vehicle interior can rise very quickly. Exposure of people or
animals to these high temperatures for even a short time can cause
death or serious heat-related injuries, including brain damage. Small
children are particularly at risk.
Your vehicle is equipped with a release handle that provides a means of
escape for children and adults if they become locked inside the luggage
compartment.
Adults should familiarize themselves with the operation and location of
the release handle. The handle is located inside the
luggage compartment either on the
luggage compartment door (lid) or
near the tail lamps. It is composed
of a material that will glow for hours
in darkness following brief exposure
to ambient light.
Pull the handle and push up on the
luggage compartment door (lid) to
open from within the luggage
compartment.
