Features & Controls
Power Door Locks
You can lock or unlock all doors of your
vehicle from the driver or passenger
door lock switch.
On 4-door models, push the front
portion of the switch to lock your doors.
Push the rear portion of the switch to
unlock your doors.
The lever on each rear door works only
that door's lock. It won't lock (or
unlock) all of the doors-that's a safety
feature.
4 8
On 2-door models, push the switch
down to lock your doors and up to
unlock them.
Automatic Door locks
Just close your doors and turn on the
ignition. If you have an automatic
transaxle, all of the doors will lock
when you move your shift lever out of
P (Park) or
N
(Neutral). If you have a
manual transaxle, all of the doors will
lock when the vehicle goes about 8 mph
(13 km/h). Each time you close your
doors and turn on the ignition, the doors
will lock automatically only once. If
someone needs to get out while the
vehicle is running, have that person use
the manual or power lock. When the
door is closed again, it will not lock
automatically. Just use the manual or
power lock to lock the door again.
Leaving Your Vehicle
If you are leaving the vehicle, open your
door and set the locks from inside. Then
get out and close the door.
