Central Door Unlocking System From outside the vehicle, if the driver's door key is held in the unlock position for more than two seconds, or if the key is turned to the unlock position twice within three seconds, all doors will unlock. Door Ajar Reminder (If Equipped) If your vehicle is equipped with the Driver Information Center (DIC), and a door is not fully closed, the DIC will display a DOOR AJAR message. See "Driver Information Center (DIC)" in the Index. Power Door Locks With power door locks, you can lock or unlock all doors on your vehicle using either the driver's or the front passenger's power door lock switch. Automatic Door Locks Close the doors and turn on the ignition. If all the doors are closed, every time you move the shift lever out of PARK (P) all of the doors will lock. And, every time you stop and move the shift lever into PARK (P), the doors will unlock. If someone needs to get out while you're not in PARK (P), have that person use the manual or power lock. When the door is closed again, it will not lock automatically. Just use the manual or power lock to lock the door again. If you need to lock the doors before shifting out of PARK (P), just use the manual or power lock switch to lock the doors. 2-7
