2-10 Keys, Doors and Windows
Automatic Door Locks
The vehicle is programmed so that
when the doors are closed, the
ignition is on, and the shift lever is
moved out of P (Park) for automatic
transmissions, or when vehicle
speed becomes faster than 13 km/h
(8 mph) for manual transmissions,
both doors will lock.
Use the power door unlock switch to
unlock the door when the vehicle is
not in P (Park). When the door is
closed again, the doors will lock
either when your foot is removed
from the brake or the vehicle speed
becomes faster than
13 km/h (8 mph).
Automatic Door Unlock
The vehicle is programmed so that
when the shift lever is moved into
P (Park) for automatic transmission
vehicles or when the ignition is
turned OFF or is in Retained
Accessory Power (RAP) for manual
transmission vehicles, both doors
will unlock.
With the vehicle stopped and the
engine running, door unlocking can
be programmed through the Driver
Information Center (DIC). This
allows the driver to choose various
unlock settings. For programming
information, see Vehicle
Personalization on page 5‑55.
Lockout Protection
Your vehicle can be programmed
to sound the horn three times and
unlock the driver door when both
doors are closed and there is a
keyless access transmitter inside
the vehicle. When the driver door
is opened, a reminder chime will
sound continuously. The vehicle will
remain locked only when at least
one transmitter has been removed
from the vehicle and both doors are
closed. See Vehicle Personalization
on page 5‑55.
