Lockout Protection
If you press the power door lock switch when the key is
in the ignition and any door is open, all the doors will
lock and the driver’s door will unlock. Be sure to remove
the key from the ignition when locking your vehicle.
The lockout protection can be overridden by pressing
and holding the power door lock in the lock position for
three seconds.
Rear Side Cargo Door
The rear side cargo doors can be opened by pressing
the buttons located on the driver and passenger sides of
the instrument panel, or by using the Remote Keyless
Access (RKE) transmitter. See Instrument Panel
Overview on page 3-4, and Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
System Operation on page 2-5 for more information.
To use the buttons on the instrument panel, the driver
side door must be unlocked.
Push the door to close.
Liftgate
To lock the liftgate from the outside, press the lock
button on the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter.
To unlock the liftgate with the RKE, press the unlock
button twice within five seconds. For more information,
see Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) System Operation
on page 2-5. You can also use the power door
lock switch to lock and unlock the liftgate.
Open the liftgate by pressing the touchpad located in
the handle above the license plate. Once slightly
opened, the liftgate will rise by itself. Lamps in the rear
of the vehicle will come on, illuminating the rear
cargo area, unless the dome lamp lever is in the off
position. For more information, see Dome Lamp
on page 3-19.
Notice: If you open the liftgate without checking for
overhead obstructions such as a garage door,
you could damage the liftgate or the liftgate glass.
Always check to make sure the area above and
behind the liftgate is clear before opening it.
