Keys and Locks
Both doors lock when you push in
the lock tab on the driver's door, or
lock the driver's door from the
outside with the key. Only the driver's
door unlocks when you use the key
or lock tab. To unlock the passenger's
door, use the master door lock
switch or pull out the lock tab on
passenger's door.
Lockout Prevention
If you forget and leave the key in the
ignition switch, Lockout Prevention
will not allow you to lock the driver's
door. With either door open and the
key in the ignition, the master door
lock switches are disabled. If you try
to lock the driver's door by pushing
in the lock tab, the tabs on both
doors immediately pop out.
