Programmable Automatic Door
Locks
The vehicle was programmed so when the doors are
closed, the ignition is on, and the shift lever is moved
out of P (Park), all the doors will lock.
The front doors can still be opened from the inside while
the doors are locked. If a rear passenger needs to exit
the vehicle, have that person use the manual knob or
use the power door lock switch on either front door.
When the door is closed again, it will not lock
automatically. Use the manual knob or the power
door lock switch to lock the door.
The doors were also pre-programmed to unlock every
time the shift lever is moved into P (Park).
The power door locks can be programmed through the
radio display. The radio display allows you to choose
various lock and unlock settings. For more information
on programming, seeVehicle Personalization
on
page 3‑59.
