Automatic Door Locks

If the vehicle has power door
locks and the remote keyless
entry system, it has an automatic
lock/unlock feature.
If the vehicle has an automatic
transmission, it is programmed
from the factory to lock all doors
automatically when the shift lever is
moved out of P (Park). All the doors
will unlock when the shift lever is
moved back into P (Park).
If the vehicle has a manual
transmission, it is programmed
from the factory to lock all the doors
when the vehicle speed is greater
than 24 km/h (15 mph). The doors
will unlock when the key is removed
from the ignition.
To change the automatic door
lock and unlock settings, see
Automatic Door Locks under
Driver Information Center (DIC) on
page 5 19.

Lockout Protection

If the vehicle has power door locks,
this feature protects you from
locking the key in the vehicle when
the key is in the ignition and a door
is open.
If the power door lock switch is
pressed when a door is open and
the key is in the ignition, all of the
doors will lock and then the driver
door will unlock.

Safety Locks (Crew Cab)

If the vehicle is a crew cab model, it
may have rear door security locks.
With this feature, the rear doors are
locked so they cannot be opened
from the inside.

To engage the security locks:
1. Open one of the rear doors.
