LOCK TAB
Each front door has a lock tab on the
top. When you push down the lock
tab on the driver's door, all the doors
and the tailgate lock. Pulling up the
lock tab on the driver's door unlocks
only that door. The lock tab on the
front passenger's door locks and
unlocks only that door.
To lock the front passenger's door
when getting out of the vehicle, push
the lock tab down and close the door.
To lock the driver's door, along with
the remaining doors and the tailgate,
push the lock tab down or push the
master switch down, then close the
door.
All doors and the tailgate can be
locked from the outside by using the
key in either front door. To unlock
only the driver's door from the
outside, turn the key and release it.
If you turn the key and hold it, all
doors and the tailgate will unlock. All
four doors and the tailgate will
unlock when you unlock the
passenger's door with the key.
Keys and Locks
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 the driver's door open
and the key in the ignition, both
master door lock switches are
disabled. However, if the driver's
door is not open, the master door
lock switches are not disabled.
Pushing the switch down on the
open passenger's door will lock all
doors and the tailgate. If you try to
lock an open driver's door by
pushing in the lock tab, the tabs on
both front doors pop out and the lock
knobs on the rear sliding doors slide
out. Pushing in the lock tab on the
passenger's door only locks that door.
