DOOR LOCKS
Modified Rear Door – Locks, Levers, And Window
Switches — If Equipped
To provide a safer environment for riding in the rear seat,
the rear doors of your vehicle have the Protection Door
Lock system.To use the system, open each rear door, use a flat blade
screwdriver (or emergency key) and rotate the dial to
engage and disengage the Protection locks. When the
system on a door is engaged, that door can only be
opened by using the outside door handle even if the
inside door lock is in the unlocked position.
