Locks and Security

KEYS

One key operates all the locks and starts the vehicle. Always carry a
spare key with you in case of an emergency.
Your keys are programmed to your vehicle; using a non-programmed key
will not permit your vehicle to start. If you lose your authorized dealer
supplied keys, replacement keys are available through your authorized
dealer. Refer to the SecuriLock
in this chapter for more information.

POWER DOOR LOCKS

Press control to unlock or lock all
doors.

Smart locks

This feature attempts to help prevent you from locking yourself out of
the vehicle if your key is still in the ignition.
When you open the driver's door and you lock the vehicle with the
power door lock control (on the driver or passenger door trim panel), all
the doors will lock, then the driver's door will automatically unlock
reminding you that your key is still in the ignition.
The vehicle can still be locked, with the key in the ignition, using the
manual lock control on the door, locking the driver's door with a key, or
using the lock control on the remote entry transmitter.
If the driver's door is closed, then the vehicle can be locked from any
method, regardless of whether the key is in the ignition or not.
Autolock
The autolock feature will lock all the doors and liftgate when:
• all the doors and liftgate are closed,
• the ignition is in the 3 (RUN) position,
• you shift into any gear putting the vehicle in motion, and
• the brake pedal is released and the vehicle attains a speed greater
than 5 mph (8 km/h).
The autolock feature repeats when:
• any door or the liftgate is opened then closed while the ignition is in
the 3 (RUN) position, and
• you put the vehicle in motion by releasing the brake pedal and the
vehicle attains a speed greater than 5 mph (8 km/h).
