2-6 Keys, Doors, and Windows Power Door Locks Automatic Door Locks If the vehicle has power door locks and the remote keyless entry system, it has an automatic lock/ unlock feature. If the vehicle has an automatic transmission, it is programmed from the factory to lock all doors automatically when the shift lever is moved out of P (Park). All the doors will unlock when the shift lever is moved back into P (Park). Lockout Protection If the vehicle has power door locks, this feature protects you from locking the key in the vehicle when the key is in the ignition and a door is open. If the power door lock switch is pressed when a door is open and the key is in the ignition, all of the doors will lock and then the driver door will unlock. Vehicles with power door locks, the switches are located on the front door armrests. Press L to lock the doors. Press U to unlock the doors. If the vehicle has a manual transmission, it is programmed from the factory to lock all the doors when the vehicle speed is greater than 24 km/h (15 mph). The doors will unlock when the key is removed from the ignition. To change the automatic door lock and unlock settings, see "Automatic Door Locks" under Driver Information Center (DIC) on page 5‑20. Safety Locks (Crew Cab) If the vehicle is a crew cab model, it may have rear door safety locks. With this feature, the rear doors are locked so they cannot be opened from the inside.
