Programmable Automatic Unlocking All the doors will automatically unlock when the shift lever is moved into PARK (P). The unlocking feature can be programmed on or off by turning the ignition to ON/RUN, engine not running, and pressing the unlock part of the power door lock switch for eight seconds. The horn will chirp once when this feature is on and twice when it is off. To set the locks, insert a key into the slot and turn it to the horizontal position. The door can only be opened from the outside with the door unlocked. To return the door to normal operation, turn the slot to the vertical position. Lockout Protection If you press the power door lock switch when the key is in the ignition and any door is open, all the doors will lock and then the driver's door will unlock. Be sure to remove the key from the ignition when locking your vehicle. If the remote keyless entry transmitter is used to lock the doors while the key is in the ignition, a chime will sound three times. All doors will then lock. Rear Door Security Locks Your vehicle has rear door security locks to prevent passengers from opening the rear doors from the inside. Open the rear doors to access the security locks on the inside edge of each door. 2-12
