If your vehicle has power
door locks, press the power
door lock switch to lock or
unlock all the doors at once.
The power door lock switch will
not lock or unlock the
rear hatch and Dutch doors.
You must use the REAR
HATCH button. See “Rear Hatch and Dutch Doors
Release” in
this section.
Every vehicle with power door locks has
a pulse lock
system.
A pulse lock system works like this:
If the sliding door is open and you press the power door
lock switch, the sliding door will
not lock immediately.
After you close the door, the system comes
on and, in
about five seconds, locks the sliding door. All
models have overriding door locks. When a door is
locked,
the door handle will not work the latch. This
will help stop a door from being accidentally opened.
However, power door locks
do not affect the operation
of the hatch.
Leaving Your Vehicle
If you are leaving the vehicle, take your keys, open your
door and set the locks from inside. Then get
out and
close the door.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine SCV Your system has a feature called
Speed-Compensated-Volume (SCV). With
SCV, your
audio system adjusts automatically to make up for road
and wind noise as
you drive. Set the volume at the
desired level. Move the control ring behind the upper
knob clockwise to adjust
the SCV. Then, as you drive,
SCV automatically increases
the volume, as necessary,
to overcome noise at any particular speed. The volume
level should always sound the same
to you as you drive.
If you don’t want to use SCV, turn the control all the
way down. Each detent
on the control ring allows for
more volume compensation at a faster rate of speed.
