Rear Door Security Locks
The vehicle has security locks that prevent passengers
from opening the rear doors from the inside.
The rear door security locks are located on the inside
edge of each rear door. You must open the rear doors to
access them.
To assist you in finding the lock, the vehicle will have
one of the following:
To use these locks:
1. Turn the knob to the vertical position to engage
the lock.
2. Close the door.
3. Do the same for the other rear door.
The rear doors on the vehicle cannot be opened from
the inside when this feature is in use.
When you want to open a rear door with the security
lock on:
1. Unlock the door using the RKE transmitter, the front
door power lock switch, or by lifting the rear door
manual lock knob.
2. Open the door from the outside.
To cancel the rear door security lock:
1. Unlock the door and open it from the outside.
2. Turn the knob to the horizontal position to
disengage the lock.
3. Do the same for the other rear door.
Lockout Protection
If the key is in the ignition and the power door lock switch
is used to lock the doors, all doors will lock and then the
driver door will unlock. It is always recommended that
the ignition key is removed from the vehicle when locking
the doors.
The lockout protection feature can be overridden by
holding the power door lock switch for three seconds
or longer.
