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 trunk are closed.

Opening the Trunk

Make sure to close and latch the trunk before driving your vehicle.

An unlatched trunk may cause objects to fall out or block your view.

Smart Locks

This feature helps prevent you from locking yourself out of your vehicle if your key is still in the ignition.

When you open the driver door and lock your vehicle with the power door lock control, all the doors will lock, then the driver door will automatically unlock reminding you that your key is still in the ignition.

Your vehicle can still be locked, with the key in the ignition, using the manual lock button on the door, locking the driver door with a key or using the lock button on the remote entry transmitter.

Autolock (If Equipped)

The autolock feature will automatically lock all the doors when:

• all the doors are closed,
• the ignition on,
• you shift into any gear putting the vehicle in motion, (for manual transmission, the parking brake should not be engaged) and
• the vehicle attains a speed greater than 12 mph (20 km/h).

The autolock feature repeats when:

• any door is opened then closed while the ignition is on and the vehicle speed is 9 mph (15 km/h) or lower, and
• the vehicle attains a speed greater than 12 mph (20 km/h).

Autounlock (If Equipped)

The autounlock feature will unlock all the doors when:

• the ignition is on, all the doors are closed, and the vehicle has been in motion at a speed greater than 12 mph (20 km/h);
• the vehicle has then come to a stop and the ignition is switched off or to accessory; and
• the driver door is opened within 10 minutes of the ignition being switched off or to accessory.

Note: The doors will not autounlock if the vehicle has been electronically locked before the driver door is opened.

Enabling or Disabling Autolock and Autounlock

Note: The autolock and autounlock features can be activated or deactivated independently of each other:

Before following the activation or deactivation procedures, make sure that the active anti-theft system is not armed, the ignition is off, and all vehicle doors are closed.

The lights will turn off if all the doors remain closed and:

• 25 seconds elapse, or

Battery Saver

The battery saver will shut off the interior lamps 10 minutes after the ignition has been turned to the off position and a door is left open, and in 30 minutes if the dome lamp control is left on and the ignition has been turned to the off position. The battery saver will also shut off the trunk lamps in 30 minutes if the trunk is left open.
