Automatic Door Lock If your vehicle is equipped with the optional power door locks, locking the driver door with the key or with the manual rocker switch will also lock all other doors. However, when the driver door is unlocked, with the key or with the manual rocker switch, other doors remain locked. The optional keyless entry system will also lock and unlock your doors. Anti-Lockout Your vehicle is equipped with an anti-lockout feature which prevents the driver side door from being locked while the key is in the ignition. To lock the driver side door, remove the key from the ignition and then use either the manual rocker switch or the door lock cylinder. Accessory Delay (If equipped) Accessory Delay is a feature that allows vehicles equipped with power windows and the power sunroof to operate all power windows and the power sunroof for 15 minutes after the ignition is turned to OFF or until the driver or front passenger door is opened (after ignition is turned to OFF). Sliding Door The sliding door allows rear seat passengers to enter and exit easily. To lock the sliding door, push the right side of the rocker switch. To unlock the sliding door, push the left side of the rocker switch. To open the sliding door from inside or outside of the vehicle, pull the handle toward the rear of the vehicle. The door will stay open if you slide it all the way back until the catch at the bottom of the door engages. 98
