Deadlocks (if equipped)
Some vehicles are equipped with a
deadlock system. Deadlocks prevent
opening of a door from either inside
or outside the vehicle once the dead-
locks have been activated providing
an additional measure of vehicle
security.
To lock the vehicle using the dead-
lock function, the doors must be
locked by using the remote key or
smart key. To unlock the vehicle, the
transmitter or smart key must be
used again.
Auto door lock/unlock features
Impact sensing door unlock
system (if equipped)
All doors will be automatically
unlocked when an impact causes the
air bags to deploy.
Speed sensing door lock system
(if equipped)
All doors will be automatically locked
when vehicle speed exceeds 9 mph
(15 km/h). Leaving your vehicle unlocked
increases the potential risk to
you or others from someone
hiding in your vehicle.
To secure your vehicle, whilst
depressing the brake, move the
shift lever to the P (Park) posi-
tion (for automatic transmis-
sion) or first gear or R (Reverse,
for manual transmission),
engage the parking brake, and
place the ignition switch in the
LOCK/OFF position, close all
windows, lock all doors, and
always take the key with you.
WARNING
Do not lock the doors with the
remote key or the smart key with
anybody left in the vehicle. The
passenger in the vehicle cannot
unlock the doors with the door
lock button. For example, if the
door is locked with the remote
key, the passenger in the vehicle
cannot unlock the door without
the transmitter.
WARNING
Opening a door when something
is approaching may cause dam-
age or injury. Be careful when
opening doors and watch for
vehicles, motorcycles, bicycles
or pedestrians approaching the
vehicle in the path of the door.
WARNING
If you stay in the vehicle for a
long time whilst the weather is
very hot or cold, there are risks
of injuries or danger to life. Do
not lock the vehicle from the out-
side when someone is in the
vehicle.

the power tailgate is blocked by an
object or part of the body, the power
tailgate will detect the resistance.
• If the resistance is detected whilst
opening the tailgate, it will stop and
move in the opposite direction.

closing the tailgate, it will stop and
move in the opposite direction.However, if the resistance is weak
such as from an object that is thin or
soft, or the tailgate is near the latched
position, the automatic stop and rever-
sal may not detect the resistance.

operates continuously more than
twice during opening or closing oper-
ation, the power tailgate may stop at
that position. At this time, close the
tailgate manually and operate the
tailgate automatically again.
