Rear-Door Security Locks Your vehicle is equipped with rear-door security locks that help prevent passengers from opening the rear doors of your vehicle from the inside. To use one of these locks do the following: 1. Open one of the rear doors. 2. On the inside of the rear door will be a lock with a label as shown. Slide the lever located next to the label upward to engage the lock. To disengage the lock(s), reverse the steps. The rear doors of your vehicle cannot be opened from the inside when this feature is in use. If you want to open the rear door when the security lock is on, unlock the door and then open the door from the outside. Lockout Protection Feature To protect you from locking your key in the vehicle, this feature stops the power door locks from locking when the keys are in the ignition and a door is open. If a power lock switch is pressed when a door is open and the key is in the ignition, all of the doors will lock and then the driver's door will unlock. A chime will sound continuously until all doors are closed. Leaving Your Vehicle If you are leaving the vehicle, take your keys, open your door and set the locks from inside. Then get out and close the door. 3. Close the door. 4. Repeat the procedure on the other rear-door lock. 2-8
