CENTRAL DOOR LOCKING
•When the driver's door inner lock knob is oper-
ated to the lock position with all doors closed, all 
the doors (including tailgate) will lock. 
•The driver’s door can be opened by pulling the 
driver’s door inner handle even when the driver’s 
door inner lock knob is in the lock position. This 
function is called "Override function". All doors 
and tailgate can be unlocked at the same time 
that the driver's door is opened.
KEY-IN PREVENTION FUNCTION
If the driver’s door remained open, it cannot be 
locked even though the driver’s door key cylinder or 
driver’s side inside lock knob is pushed. This pre
-
vents the ignition key from being left in the passenger 
compartment.
"P" POSITION SHIFT LINKED 
DOOR-UNLOCK FUNCTION
When the selector lever is shifted to the "P" (parking) 
position, all the doors (including tailgate) will unlock, 
improving passengers' conv enience during alighting. 
Using an adjustment function*, "P" position shift 
linked door-unlock function can be changed to 
"Active", or "Inactive". The initial setting at factory is 
"Inactive".
NOTE: *: "P" position shift linked door-unlock func-
tion can be changed as a customise function. Refer
