LOCKING AND UNLOCKING
Your vehicle has an intelligent electronically
controlled door system that is in constant
communication with overall vehicle systems.
When you lock your vehicle using the lock
switch on each door interior trim panel, or
by using the keyless entry keypad or the lock
sensor on each door exterior trim panel, the
exterior door handle switches will not release
the doors. This helps to secure your vehicle
and prevent unauthorized entry. Also, when
your vehicle reaches a speed greater than
12 mph (20 km/h) the exterior door handle
switches will not release the doors. A tone
may sound indicating the exterior door
handle switches will not release your door
and your vehicle is secure.
If the airbags deploy or the fuel pump shutoff
switch activates, all interior and exterior
unlock switches will not unlock your door for
six seconds. This helps to secure the doors
in the event of a crash. After six seconds, all
switches reset and you can open the doors
using the interior and exterior unlock
switches. Door Lock Indicator

illuminates when you lock the doors. It
remains on for up to 10 minutes after you
switch the ignition off.

the door lock switches and the interior
luggage compartment release switch do not
operate after 20 seconds. You must unlock

a seatbelt. Failure to follow this warning
could result in serious personal injury or
death. Make sure all persons are clear of the
