position, you won’t be able to set the door locks with the
power door lock switch or the remote transmitter.
This
feature is designed to help keep you from locking your
keys in your vehicle.
If the sliding door is open wheq you press the power
door locks switch, it will lock automatically within five
seconds after you close it.

With power locks, when the doors
are locked, the inside as
well as the outside door latch release cannot open the
doors.

accidentally opened from the inside by moving the handle.
To override this safety feature, slide the locking lever to
the unlock position on the door you want
to open.
When the liftgate has been unlocked with the power door
locks, you won’t need the key to open it. Simply turn the
lock clockwise until the latch releases. This is also true if
you use the optional Remote Lock Control transmitter.
See “Remote Lock Control” later in this section.
To lock the liftgate, use either the power door lock switch or
the optional Remote Lock Control transmitter.
You may
also lock it manually by turning the lock counterclockwise.

the outside by holding the key
in the unlock position for
one second.

door, turn the key to the unlock position and release.
From the inside, when the ignition is on and the driver’s
door
is closed, all doors will lock each time you move
the shift lever out of PARK (P). If the passenger’s door
or the liftgate are open when you move the shift lever
out of PARK
(P), they will lock when closed.
If the sliding door is open when you move the shift lever
out of PARK (P) or manually lock the doors using the
power door lock switches, a lock delay feature allows
the sliding door
to lock five seconds after it is closed.
All other doors will lock again, too.
With the automatic door locks feature, you can still lock
or unlock the doors at any time, either manually or with
the power
door lock switches.
Overriding Lock Delay

power door locks switch (the unlock position) while the

Power Remote Control Mirrors Convenience Net (Option)
L
The control
on the driver’s door controls both outside
rearview mirrors. Turn the control to the left to select
the driver’s side rearview mirror, or
to the right to select
the passenger’s side rearview mirror.
Then use the
control to adjust each mirror
so that you can just see the
side of your vehicle when you are sitting in a
comfortable driving position.
Both outside mirrors can be folded forward or rearward. In
the rearward position, they will fold flush with the vehicle.
This feature is particularly useful in automatic car washes
and when maneuvering your vehicle in narrow spaces. The optional
convenience net
is designed to help keep
small loads, like grocery bags, from falling over during
sharp turns or quick stops and starts.
Install the convenience net at the rear of your vehicle,
just inside the liftgate. Attach the upper loops to the
posts on either side of the liftgate opening (the label on
the net should be in the upper righthand corner). Attach
the lower loops
to the hooks on the floor.
