Automatic Door Lock
All of the doors will lock automatically when you
move the shift lever out of PARK (P). This feature
cannot be disabled.
If someone needs to get out of the vehicle while it
is not in PARK (P), shift into PARK (P), or,
have that person use the manual lever or the
power door lock switch. When the door is closed
again, it will lock when the vehicle exceeds
5 mph (8 km/h).
With automatic door locks, you can lock or unlock
the doors at any time, either manually or by
using the power door lock switches.
Programmable Automatic Door
Unlock
Your vehicle was programmed so that all doors
will unlock automatically when the shift lever
is moved into PARK (P).
To change the way the automatic door unlocking
operates, see
(Uplevel Only) on page 249
.
Lockout Protection
The lockout protection feature makes it more
difficult to lock the key in the vehicle. If the driver’s
door is open while the key is in the ignition, the door
cannot be locked with the power door lock switch.
This feature cannot guarantee that you will never be
locked out of the vehicle. If the key is not left in the
ignition, or, if the manual door lock is used, the key
could still be locked inside the vehicle. Always
remember to take the key with you.
Dual Sliding Doors
To open either sliding door from outside the vehicle,
pull the handle out and then pull the door toward the
rear. If you slide the door all the way back, the door
will rest in a detent position.
To move the door forward, you must first pull the
door past the open detent position.
The driver’s side sliding door is designed to open
only a little if the fuel door is open. If this ever
happens, do not try to force the sliding door. Just
close the driver’s side sliding door. Then when the
fuel filler door is closed, the driver’s side sliding
door can be opened normally.
