Locks

Intelligent access at the driver's door will
unlock all doors when two-stage unlocking
is disabled.
Locking the Doors
Press the button to lock all the
doors. The turn signals will
illuminate.
E138623
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.
Power Liftgate (if equipped)
Make sure all persons are clear of the
liftgate area before using power
liftgate control.
Make sure the liftgate is closed to
prevent exhaust fumes from being
drawn into the 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 the vehicle.
Note: Be careful when opening or closing
the liftgate in a garage or other enclosed
area to avoid damaging the liftgate.
Press twice within three seconds
to open or close the liftgate, or
E138630 to reverse the movement. See
Power Liftgate (page 57).
