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 do 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 do not release the doors.
If the airbags deploy or the fuel pump shutoff
switch activates, all interior and exterior
unlock switches do 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 unlatch
switches. Door Lock Indicator
An LED on each door lock switch illuminates
when you lock the doors. It remains on for
2 to 5 seconds after you switch the ignition
off.
Door Lock Switch Inhibitor
When you electronically lock your vehicle,
the door lock switches and the interior
luggage compartment release switch do not
operate after 20 seconds. You must unlock
your vehicle with the remote control or
keyless entry keypad, or switch the ignition
on, to restore function to these switches.
You can switch this feature on or off in the
information display.
See General
Information (page 134).
Activating Intelligent Access
The intelligent access key must be within 3 ft
(1 m)
of the door or luggage compartment
you intend to lock or unlock. At a Door

INTERIOR MIRROR WARNING: Do not adjust the mirrors
when your vehicle is moving. This could
result in the loss of control of your vehicle,
serious personal injury or death.
Note: Do not clean the housing or glass of
any mirror with harsh abrasives, fuel or other
petroleum or ammonia-based cleaning
products. You can adjust the interior mirror to your
preference. Some mirrors also have a second
pivot point. This lets you move the mirror
head up or down and from side to side.
Auto-Dimming Mirror
Note:
Do not block the sensors on the front
and back of the mirror. A rear center
passenger or raised rear center head
restraint may also block light from reaching
the sensor.
The mirror dims to reduce the effect of bright
light from behind. It returns to normal when
the bright light from behind is no longer
present or if you shift into reverse (R).

Fuel Gauge
The fuel gauge indicates about how much
fuel is in the fuel tank. The arrow adjacent to the fuel pump symbol
indicates on which side of your vehicle the
fuel filler door is located.
Note:
The fuel gauge may vary slightly when
your vehicle is moving or on a slope.
Low Fuel Reminder
A low fuel level reminder displays and
sounds when the distance to empty reaches
75 mi (120 km) to empty for MyKey, and at
50 mi (80 km), 25 mi (40 km), 10 mi (20 km)
and 0 mi (0 km) for all vehicle keys.
Note: The low fuel reminder can appear at
different fuel gauge positions depending on
fuel economy conditions. This variation is
normal. Battery Gauge
The high voltage battery gauge displays the
total amount of charge associated with your
available electric only driving range. A full fill
represents the total amount of energy you
can get from an external charge (plugging
your vehicle in). When the fill reaches empty
the powertrain system automatically switches
to hybrid operation.
