Locks

Press and hold both the lock and unlock
buttons on the remote control for four
seconds to disable or enable two-stage
unlocking. Disabling two-stage unlocking
allows all vehicle doors to unlock with one
press of the button. The turn signals will
flash twice to indicate a change to the
unlocking mode. The unlocking mode
applies to the remote control, keyless entry
keypad and intelligent access.
Intelligent access at the driver door will
unlock all doors when you disable
two-stage unlocking.
Locking the Doors
Press the button to lock all the
doors. The turn signals will
illuminate.

Press the button again within three
seconds to confirm that all the doors are
closed. The doors will lock again, the horn
will chirp and the turn signals will
illuminate if all the doors and the luggage
compartment are closed.
Note: If locking was not successful or any
door or the liftgate is not closed, or if the
hood is not closed on vehicles equipped
with a perimeter alarm or remote start, the
horn will chirp twice and the lamps will not
flash.
Liftgate
Make sure all persons are clear of the
liftgate area before using the liftgate
control.
Make sure you close the liftgate to
prevent exhaust fumes from being
drawn into your vehicle. This will also
prevent passengers and cargo from falling
out. If you must drive with the liftgate open,
keep the vents open so outside air comes
into your vehicle.
