Lockout Protection Lockout protection is a standard feature intended to provide enhanced security and convenience. This feature prevents a driver who has left the keys in the ignition from locking the doors or using the power door locks while any door is open. To override this feature, when the key is in the ignition and a door is open, hold the power door lock switch for three seconds. This feature cannot guarantee that you will never be locked out of your vehicle. If you don't leave the keys in the ignition, or if you use the manual door lock, or if you use the remote keyless entry transmitter (if equipped), you could still lock your keys inside your vehicle. Always remember to take your keys with you. {CAUTION: It can be dangerous to drive with the trunk lid open because carbon monoxide (CO) gas can come into your vehicle. You cannot see or smell CO. It can cause unconsciousness and even death. If you must drive with the trunk lid open or if electrical wiring or other cable connections must pass through the seal between the body and the trunk lid: • Make sure all other windows are shut. • Turn the fan on your heating or cooling system to its highest speed and select the control setting that will force outside air into your vehicle. See Climate Control System in the Index. • If you have air outlets on or under the instrument panel, open them all the way. See Engine Exhaust on page 2-26. Trunk To unlock the trunk from the outside, insert the key and turn the trunk lock cylinder or use the remote keyless entry transmitter. When closing the trunk, push the trunk lid in the center to ensure that the lock fully latches. 2-11
