• The driver’s door is unlocked when the key is inserted in the driver

door key cylinder and turned to the unlock position. The driver’s door
is locked when the key is inserted in the driver door key cylinder and
turned to the lock position.

Note: If the vehicle is not equipped with active anti-theft system, locking
the driver door with the key does not lock the passenger door. Use the
power door lock control or manually lock the passenger door to ensure
the vehicle is properly secured.

Smart locks

This feature helps prevent you from locking yourself out of the vehicle if
your key is still in the ignition.

When you open the driver’s door and you lock the vehicle with the
power door lock control, all the doors will lock, then the driver’s door
will automatically unlock reminding you that your key is still in the
ignition.

The vehicle can still be locked, with the key in the ignition, using the
manual lock button on the door, locking the driver’s door with a key or
using the lock button on the remote entry transmitter.

Autolock (if equipped)

The autolock feature will automatically lock all vehicle doors when:
• all doors are closed,
• the ignition is in the on position,
• you shift into any gear putting the vehicle in motion, (for manual

transmission, the parking brake should not be engaged) and

• the vehicle attains a speed greater than 12 mph (20 km/h).
The autolock feature repeats when:
• any door is opened then closed while the ignition is in the on position

and the vehicle speed is 9 mph (15 km/h) or lower, and

• the vehicle attains a speed greater than 12 mph (20 km/h).
Deactivating/activating autolock

Your vehicle comes with the autolock feature enabled. There are three
methods to enable/disable this feature:
• Through your authorized dealer, or
• performing the power door lock control procedure, or
• performing the message center procedure. Refer to Message center in

the Instrument Cluster chapter.
