If both doors are unlocked, press the button to lock the
doors. If both doors are locked, press the button to
unlock the doors.
If the driver's door is unlocked and the passenger's door
is locked, press the button once to unlock the
passenger's door. Press the button a second time to
lock both doors.
Pressing the LOCK button on the remote key disables
the power door lock switch. See
Remote Keyless
Entry System Operation on page 2-5for more
information on how the remote keyless entry system
works in combination with your power locks.
Programmable Automatic
Door Locks
If your vehicle has an automatic transmission, it is
equipped with an automatic door locking feature which
can be programmed through the trip computer
buttons and instrument panel center display. It can be
programmed to be on or off. See
Vehicle Personalization
on page 2-31for more information.
Your vehicle was programmed from the factory to
automatically lock when the shift lever is moved out
of PARK (P).
Trunk
{CAUTION:
It can be dangerous to drive with the trunk lid
open because carbon monoxide (CO) gas can
come into your vehicle. You cannot see or
smell CO. It can cause unconsciousness and
even death. If you must drive with the trunk lid
open or if electrical wiring or other cable
connections must pass through the seal
between the body and the trunk lid:
·Make sure all other windows are shut.
·Turn the fan on your heating or cooling
system to its highest speed and select the
control setting that will force outside air
into your vehicle. See Climate Control
System.
·If you have air outlets on or under the
instrument panel, open them all the way.

The system is turned on if a door is opened, the vehicle
is unlocked, or the trunk is opened. Once the system
is turned on, the one hour battery protection time resets
to zero and the interior lamps will continue to operate
for another hour, or until the vehicle is locked.
The interior lamp system will shut down 10 seconds after
your vehicle is locked using either the key or the remote
key locking system. However, if an interior lamp, such as
the dome lamp, has been turned on manually and is on at
the time the vehicle is locked, the system will not shut
down after the normal 10 seconds. The one hour battery
protection will be activated instead.
The vehicle's hazard lights will continue to operate at
all times.
Accessory Control
If you want the accessories to operate once the key has
been removed from the ignition, you must turn the
system on by either manually starting an accessory,
such as turning the radio on again. This will activate a
one hour timer that will operate accessories such as
the radio, accessory power outlet, and windshield wipers
before turning off. These actions will reset the timer to
zero. Likewise, if an accessory such as the radio is
turned on at any time during the one hour period, the
timer is reset to zero and all accessories will continue to
operate for another hour. To enable accessory control
after the system has been reset, you must turn the
ignition on and then off again.
Accessory Power Outlet(s)
The vehicle has an
accessory power outlet
which can be used to plug
in electrical equipment.
The accessory power outlet is located inside the center
console. The power outlet is operational when the
ignition is turned to ON, LOCK, or when Retained
Accessories Power is in operation. See
Retained
Accessory Power (RAP) on page 2-17. The cigarette
lighter can also be used as an accessory power outlet.
See
Ashtray(s) and Cigarette Lighter on page 3-18for more information.
Remove the tethered cap to use the outlet. When
not using the outlet, be sure to cover it with the
protective cap.
Notice:Leaving electrical equipment on for
extended periods will drain the battery. Always turn
off electrical equipment when not in use and do
not plug in equipment that exceeds the maximum
amperage rating.
