WARNING!
 For personal security and safety in the
event of an accident , lock the vehicle
doors before you drive as well as when you park
and leave the vehicle.
 When leaving the vehicle, always remove the
Key Fob from the vehicle and lock your vehicle.
Unsupervised use of vehicle equipment may
cause severe personal injuries or death.
 Never leave children alone in a vehicle. Leaving
unattended children in a vehicle is dangerous for
a number of reasons. A child or others could be
seriously or fatally injured. Do not leave the Key
Fob in the ignition. A child could operate power
windows, other controls, or move the vehicle.
POWER DOOR LOCKS
A power door lock switch is on each front door trim
panel. Use this switch to lock or unlock the doors and
liftgate. (fig. 82)
If you press the power door lock switch while the Key
Fob is in the vehicle, and any front door is open, the
power locks will not operate. This prevents you from
accidentally locking the Key Fob in the vehicle. Remov-
ing the Key Fob or closing the door will allow the locks
to operate. If a door is open, and the ignition is in the
LOCK or ACC position, a chime will sound as a
reminder to remove the Key Fob. Automatic Door Locks (for versions/markets,
where provided)
The auto door lock feature default condition is dis-
abled. When enabled, the door locks will lock auto-
matically when the vehicle's speed exceeds 24 km/h.
The auto door lock feature can be enabled or disabled
by your authorized dealer per written request of the
customer. Please see your authorized dealer for
service.
Automatic Unlock Doors On Exit
The doors will unlock automatically on vehicles with
power door locks if:

WIND BUFFETING
Wind buffeting can be described as the perception of
pressure on the ears or a helicopter-type sound in the
ears. Your vehicle may exhibit wind buffeting with the
windows down, or the sunroof (for versions/markets,
where provided) in certain open or partially open
positions. This is a normal occurrence and can be
minimized. If the buffeting occurs with the rear win-
dows open, then open the front and rear windows
together to minimize the buffeting. If the buffeting
occurs with the sunroof open, adjust the sunroof
opening to minimize the buffeting or open any window.LIFTGATE
The liftgate can be unlocked or locked with the Re-
mote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter, the Keyless
Enter-N-Go (Passive Entry) or by activating the power
door lock switch located on either front door trimpanel.
For further information on Keyless Enter-N-Go (Pas-
sive Entry), refer to “Keyless Enter-N-Go” in “Starting
And Driving”.
NOTE:
The liftgate cannot be unlocked or locked
with the manual door lock plungers on the door trim
panels or the door lock cylinder on the driver's door.
To open the unlocked liftgate, squeeze the handle and
pull the liftgate toward you. Gas props will raise and
support the liftgate in the open position. (fig. 91)
NOTE: Because the gas pressure drops with tem-
perature, it may be necessary to assist the props when
opening the liftgate in cold weather.

press will activate the popup banner indicating Channel
2’s status. While the banner is still visible, any subse-
quent remote control key press for Channel 2 shall
