WARNING: (Continued) . Power Door Locks With power door locks, the switches on the front doors can be used to lock and unlock the vehicle. Outsiders can easily enter through an unlocked door when you slow down or stop the vehicle. Locking the doors can help prevent this from happening. K (Unlock): Press to unlock the doors. Q (Lock): Remove the key from the ignition and press to lock the doors. There are several ways to lock and unlock your vehicle. Because the vehicle has the theft-deterrent system, you must unlock the doors with the key or RKE transmitter to avoid setting off the alarm. From the outside, use either the key or the RKE transmitter. From the inside, use the power door lock switches or manual lock knobs. The manual lock knobs are located at the top of the door panel near the window. Push the manual lock knob down to lock the door. To unlock the door, pull up on the knob. Programmable Automatic Door Locks The vehicle is programmed so that, when the doors are closed, the ignition is on, and the shift lever is moved out of P (Park), all the doors will lock. The doors will unlock every time the vehicle is stopped and the shift lever is moved into P (Park). If someone needs to get out while the vehicle is not in P (Park), have the person use the manual lock knob or power door lock switch. When the door is closed again, it will not lock automatically. Use the manual lock knob or power door lock switch to lock the door. The door locks can be programmed through prompts displayed on the Driver Information Center (DIC). These prompts allow the driver to choose various lock and unlock settings. For programming information, see DIC Vehicle Customization on page 4‑74. Central Door Unlocking System The vehicle has a central door unlocking mode. When unlocking the driver door, the other doors can be unlocked at the same time by turning the key clockwise in the door lock cylinder twice. 3-9
