Door Locks
CAUTION:
Unlocked doors can be dangerous.

Passengers -- especially children -- can
easily open the doors and fall out of a
moving vehicle. When a door is locked,
the handle won't open it. You increase the
chance of being thrown out of the vehicle
in a crash if the doors aren't locked.
So, wear safety belts properly and lock
the doors whenever you drive.

Young children who get into unlocked
vehicles may be unable to get out. A child
can be overcome by extreme heat and can
suffer permanent injuries or even death
from heat stroke. Always lock your vehicle
whenever you leave it.

Outsiders can easily enter through an
unlocked door when you slow down or stop
your vehicle. Locking your doors can help
prevent this from happening.
There are several ways to lock and unlock your vehicle.
From the outside, use your key or keyless entry
transmitter (if equipped).
From the inside, use the manual lever. Each door has
a lever that works only on that door's lock. The lever
won't unlock or lock all the doors. Push the lever
rearward to unlock and forward to lock.

2-7 Power Door Locks
Press the power door lock
switch located on either
front door near the handle to
lock or unlock all the doors.
The rear doors do not have power door lock switches.
Push the manual lever rearward to unlock and forward
to lock.
Last Door Closed Locking
This feature allows the doors to be locked while the
passengers are leaving the vehicle. This also provides
a brief time period after all the doors are closed,
but before the doors lock, in which the doors may
be reopened.
Last door closed locking is activated by either the
power door lock switch inside the vehicle or by pressing
LOCK on the remote keyless entry transmitter
(if equipped). After pressing the power door lock
switch once, three chimes will be heard. The three
chimes indicate that the last door closed locking has
been activated.
If you wish to let the last door closed locking feature
complete the locking cycle, no additional action is
required. The last door closed locking feature will lock
the doors automatically after all the doors have been
closed for a period of five seconds. During this
five second period, any door may be reopened.
You can customize or disable the last door closed
locking feature. If disabled, the doors will lock
immediately when a power door lock switch is pressed.

2-11
When your vehicle was shipped from the factory,
it was programmed to Mode 1. The mode to which
your vehicle was programmed may have been changed
since it left the factory. To determine the mode to which
your vehicle is programmed or to program your vehicle
to a different mode, do the following:
1. Open a door and put the key in the ignition.
2. Hold down the power door lock switch for more
than three seconds. This will turn the feature off
or on, depending upon the current mode selected.
(If you do not wish to change the current mode,
you can either exit the programming mode by
following the instructions listed here or program
the next feature available on your vehicle).
3. When the door lock switch is released, the vehicle
will remain in the most recent operating mode.
The mode you selected is now set. You can either exit
the programming mode by following the instructions
above or program the next feature available on
your vehicle.Remote Keyless Entry System
(If Equipped)
If your vehicle has this feature, you can lock and unlock
your doors or unlock your trunk from about 3 feet (1 m)
up to 30 feet (9 m) away using the remote keyless entry
transmitter supplied with your vehicle.
Your keyless entry system operates on a radio frequency
subject to Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
Rules and with Industry Canada.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) this device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired operation.
This device complies with RSS
-210 of Industry Canada.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) this device may not cause interference, and
(2) this device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired
operation of the device.

2-12
Changes or modifications to this system by other than
an authorized service facility could void authorization to
use this equipment.
At times you may notice a decrease in range. This is
normal for any remote system. If the transmitter does
not work or if you have to stand closer to your vehicle
for the transmitter to work, try this:

Check the distance. You may be too far from your
vehicle. You may need to stand closer during rainy
or snowy weather.

Check the location. Other vehicles or objects may
be blocking the signal. Take a few steps to the left
or right, hold the transmitter higher, and try again.

Check to determine if battery replacement is
necessary. See the instructions that follow.

If you're still having trouble, see your dealer or
a qualified technician for service.Operation

unlock the driver's door
and to turn the interior
lamps on (see ªIllumination

alarm will continue until one of the following occurs:

The driver presses the alarm button on the remote
keyless entry transmitter a second time,

the ignition is turned to ON or

110 seconds has elapsed.
Remote Activation Verification (RAV)
This feature helps provide audible and/or visible
feedback that a remote keyless entry lock or unlock
command has been received and executed. The ignition
must be in OFF for the remote activation verification
to work.
You may select one of four operating modes for lock and
unlock commands. The selection and programming of the
lock and unlock modes are independent of each other.

RAV Lock Mode Programming
When your vehicle was shipped from the factory, it was

which your vehicle is programmed to or to program
your vehicle to a different mode, do the following:
1. Close all doors and turn the ignition switch to ON.
2. Press and hold down the power door lock switch in

the chime will sound. Count the number of chimes
you hear. The number of chimes tells you which
mode your vehicle is set for. (If you do not wish
to change the current mode, you can either exit the
programming mode by following the instructions
listed here or program the next feature available on
your vehicle).

2-15
Illumination on Remote Activation
This feature is included on vehicles with the remote
keyless entry system. The interior illumination will be
activated when a remote keyless entry door unlock
command is received. The ignition must be off for the
remote activation illumination to work. The interior
lamps will illuminate until the ignition is turned to
ON or until the illumination period of 40 seconds
has elapsed.
If during the illumination period, a door is opened, the
timed illumination period will be cancelled, though the
interior lamps will remain on until all doors are closed.
Matching Transmitter(s) to Your Vehicle
Each remote keyless entry transmitter is coded to
prevent another transmitter from unlocking your vehicle.
If a transmitter is lost or stolen, a replacement can be
purchased through your dealer. Remember to bring
any remaining transmitters with you when you go to
your dealer. When the dealer matches the replacement
transmitter to your vehicle, any remaining transmitters
must also be matched. Once your dealer has coded the
new transmitter, the lost transmitter will not unlock your
vehicle. Each vehicle can have only four transmitters
matched to it.
Battery Replacement
Under normal use, the battery in your remote keyless
entry transmitter should last about three years.
You can tell the battery is weak if the transmitter won't
work at the normal range in any location. If you have
to get close to your vehicle before the transmitter works,
it's probably time to change the battery.
NOTICE:
When replacing the battery, use care not to
touch any of the circuitry. Static from your
body transferred to these surfaces may damage
the transmitter.

2-17 Trunk Lock
To unlock the trunk from the outside, insert the key and
turn it clockwise.
You can also use the remote keyless entry transmitter
(if equipped).
Remote Trunk Release
Press the button on the
left side of the instrument
panel to unlock the trunk
from inside your vehicle.
Your vehicle must be
in PARK (P).
Trunk Release Handle (If Equipped)
NOTICE:
The trunk release handle was not designed to be
used to tie down the trunk lid or as an anchor
point when securing items in the trunk. Improper
use of the trunk release handle could damage it.
There is a glow-in-the-dark trunk release handle located
inside the trunk on the latch. This handle will glow
following exposure to light. Pull the release handle up to
open the trunk from the inside.
