Power Door Locks

A power door lock switch is located on each of the front door trim panels. Use this switch to lock or unlock the doors and liftgate.

Power Door Lock Switch

The doors can also be locked and unlocked with the Keyless Enter-N-Go (Passive Entry) system. Refer to "Keyless Enter-N-Go" in "Things To Know Before Starting Your Vehicle" for further information.

If you push the power door lock switch while the ignition is in the ACC or ON/RUN position, and any front door is open, the power locks will not operate. This prevents you from accidentally locking the Key Fob in the vehicle.

Placing the ignition to the OFF position or closing the door will allow the locks to operate. If a door is open, and the ignition is in the ACC or ON/RUN position, a chime will sound as a reminder to remove the Key Fob.
