Unlock Lock Key Fob: Locking and Unlocking the Doors/Liftgate • Press the LOCK button once to lock all doors and liftgate.  • Press the UNLOCK button once to unlock the driver's door only and twice within five seconds to unlock all the doors and liftgate.  • All doors can be programmed to unlock on the first press of the UNLOCK button. • Refer to the Owner's Manual for programming. Panic Alarm • Press the button once to turn the panic alarm on.  • Wait approximately three seconds and press the button a second time to turn the panic alarm off. Continuously Variable Automatic Transmission (CVT):  • While conventional automatic transmissions typically have 4, 5 or 6 speeds, the Continuously Variable Transmission has an infinite number of speeds. This allows it to adjust to exactly the right ratio to optimize performance and fuel economy.  • Under hard acceleration you may hear more engine noise than with a conventional transmission. The CVT may also occasionally feel like it is "shifting." These characteristics are perfectly normal and contribute to the CVT's efficiency.
