Lockout Protection
If you press the power door lock switch when the
key is in the ignition and any door is open, all
the doors will lock and only the driver’s door will
unlock. If you close the doors, you can lock
them using the remote keyless entry transmitter.
Be sure to remove the key from the ignition
when locking your vehicle.
This feature can be overridden by pressing the lock
button on the remote keyless entry transmitter or by
pressing the power lock switch a second time.
Power Liftgate
Power Liftgate Operation
Your vehicle has a power liftgate. The vehicle
must be in PARK (P) to power open or close the
liftgate.
The liftgate must be completely closed to power
open or the liftgate must be completely open
to power close.
The taillamps will ash and a chime will sound at
the beginning of each power operation cycle.
{CAUTION:
You or others could be injured if caught in
the path of the power liftgate. Make sure
there is no one in the way of the liftgate
as it is opening and closing.
104

Notice:If you open the liftgate without
checking for overhead obstructions such as a
garage door, you could break the liftgate or
the liftgate glass. Always check to make sure
the area above the liftgate is clear before
opening it.
To open and close the liftgate, press and hold
the power liftgate button on the remote keyless
entry transmitter (RKE) until the liftgate starts
moving. Press the RKE button a second
time during liftgate operations to reverse that
operation. SeeRemote Keyless Entry (RKE)

The liftgate can also be power closed by pressing
the power liftgate button next to the liftgate
latch. Press the button a second time during
liftgate operation to reverse that operation. The
power liftgate may be temporarily disabled
under extreme temperatures or low battery
condition. If this occurs, the liftgate can still be

Theft-Deterrent Systems
Vehicle theft is big business, especially in some
cities. Although your vehicle has a number of
theft-deterrent features, we know that nothing we
put on it can make it impossible to steal.
Theft-Deterrent System
The security light is
located on the
instrument panel cluster.
If the ignition is off and a door is open, the
security light will ash, reminding you to arm the
theft-deterrent system.
To arm the system, do the following:
1. Lock the door using the Remote Keyless
Entry (RKE) transmitter or the power door
lock switch.
2. Close all the doors. The security light will
illuminate. It should go off within approximately
30 seconds.
If a door or a liftgate is opened without a key or a
RKE transmitter, the horn will sound and the
lamps will ash for up to 30 seconds.

Entry Lighting
The entry lighting system turns on the reading and
dome lamps and the backlighting to the exterior
lamp control when a door is opened or if the
Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter unlock
button is pressed. If activated by the (RKE),
the lighting will remain active for about 25 seconds.
The entry lighting system uses the light sensor
on the instrument panel; so it must be dark outside
in order for the lamps to turn on. The lamps turn
off about 25 seconds after the last door is
closed. They will dim to off if the ignition key is
turned to ON, or immediately turn off if the power
locks are used.
Parade Dimming
This feature prohibits dimming of the instrument
panel displays and backlighting during daylight
hours when the key is in the ignition and the
headlamps are on. This feature operates with the
light sensor and is fully automatic. When the light
sensor reads darkness outside and the parking
lamps are active, the instrument panel displays can
be adjusted by sliding the instrument panel
brightness lever toward the symbol to brighten or
away from the symbol to dim the lighting.
Reading Lamps
The reading lamps are located on the overhead
console. These lamps come on automatically when
any door is opened.
For manual operation, press the button next to
each lamp to turn it on or off.
If the reading lamps are left on, they automatically
shut off 10 minutes after the ignition has been
turned off.
