Power Doors Locking/
Unlocking A power door lock switch and a
power door unlock switch
are
positioned on the front door trim
panel. Use this switches to lock or
unlock the doors.
If the vehicle has been locked from
inside with the above-figured switches,
the fuel filler flap remains unlocked. If power liftgate has been left open, it
will stay open when you press lock
button
, and the locking feature will
only occur after the closing of the

position or closing the door will allow
the locks of the doors and fuel filler
door to operate. If a door is open with
the key fob RKE transmitter inside the
cabin and the ignition is in the ACC or
RUN position, a beep will draw the
driver’s attention.

NOTE:
All doors will unlock when you grip
the front passenger door handle
regardless of the driver’s door unlock
preference setting (“Driver Door” or
“All Doors”). Preventing Inadvertent Locking
of the Key fob RKE Transmitter
inside the Vehicle To minimize the possibility of
unintentionally locking a key fob RKE
transmitter inside your vehicle, the
“Passive Entry” system is equipped
with an automatic door unlock
feature which will function if the
ignition switch is in the OFF position.
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 system checks
the inside and outside of the vehicle
for any valid key fobs RKE transmitter.
If one of the vehicle's key fobs RKE
transmitters is detected inside the
vehicle, and no other valid key fobs
RKE transmitters are detected outside
the vehicle, the “Passive Entry” system
automatically unlocks all vehicle doors
and chirps the horn fourteen times (on
the fifteenth attempt ALL doors will
lock and the key fob RKE transmitter
will be locked in the vehicle). This will
happen even when pressing the lower
button on the outer edge of the
left trunk compartment lining to close
and lock the power liftgate. NOTE:
The vehicle unlocks the doors under
any of the following conditions:
• the doors are manually locked using
the door lock knob positioned on
the door panel;
• there is a valid key fob RKE
transmitter inside the vehicle;
• there is not a valid key fob RKE
transmitter outside the vehicle.
NOTE:
The vehicle will not unlock the doors
under any of the following conditions:
• the doors are locked using the key
fob RKE transmitter;
• the doors are locked using the
button on the “Passive Entry” door
handles;

• there is a valid key fob RKE
transmitter outside the vehicle and
within 3.3 ft (1 m) of either “Passive
Entry” door handle;
• fifteen attempts are made to lock
the doors using the door panel
switch and/or the lower
button
(on the outer edge of the left trunk
compartment) and then close the
doors. If the key fob RKE transmitter is inside
the passenger compartment and one
of the doors locked only to the first
detent of lock pawl (hence it is not
fully closed), when the vehicle lock
function with alarm system for trunk
lid and doors is being activated by
means of RH button
at the bottom
of the trunk lid, said function will be
activated all the same.
In this condition, any attempt to duly
