Keys and Locks To lock the driver's door, along with the remaining doors and the tailgate, push the lock tab down or push the master switch down, then close the door. All doors and the tailgate can be locked from the outside by using the key in either front door. To unlock only the driver's door from the outside, turn the key and release it. If you turn the key and hold it, all doors and the tailgate will unlock. All four doors and the tailgate will unlock when you unlock the passenger's door with the key. Lockout Prevention LOCK TAB Each front door has a lock tab on the top. When you push down the lock tab on the driver's door, all the doors and the tailgate lock. Pulling up the lock tab on the driver's door unlocks only that door. The lock tab on the front passenger's door locks and unlocks only that door. To lock the front passenger's door when getting out of the vehicle, push the lock tab down and close the door. Instruments and Controls If you forget and leave the key in the ignition switch, Lockout Prevention will not allow you to lock the driver's door. With the driver's door open and the key in the ignition, both master door lock switches are disabled. However, if the driver's door is not open, the master door lock switches are not disabled. Pushing the switch down on the open passenger's door will lock all doors. If you try to lock an open driver's door by pushing in the lock tab, the tabs on both front doors pop out and the lock knobs on the rear sliding doors slide out. Pushing in the lock tab on the passenger's door only locks that door.
