Features & Controls Power DoorLocks With power door locks, you can lock or unlock all the doors of your vehicle from the driver or front passenger door lock switch. On 4-door models, the mechanical switch on eachrear door works only that door's lock. It won't lock (or unlock) all of the doors-that's a safety feature. Automatic DoorLocks Just close your doors and turn on the ignition. If you have an automatic transaxle, all of the doors will lock when you move your shift leverout of P (Park) or N (Neutral). If you have a manual transaxle, all of the doors will lock when the vehicle reaches about 8 mph (13 km/h). Each time you close your doors and turn on the ignition, the doors will lock automatically only once. If someone needs to get out whilethe vehicle is running, have that person use the manual or power lock. When the door is closed again, it will not lock automatically. Just usethe manual or power lock to lock the door again. Leaving Your Vehicle If you are leaving the vehicle, open your door and set the locks from inside, then get out and close the door. Illuminated Entry/Exit System When you lift the outside handle of either front door, the lights inside your vehicle will go on. These lights will go off after about 40 seconds, or when the ignition is turned on. If the ignition has been for less than off two minutes, the lights inside your vehicle will stay on for about four seconds to provide illuminated exit. an
