Operating door locks from inside the vehicle

You can operate door locks with the door lock button or central door lock switch.

With the door lock button

  • To unlock a door, push the door lock button (1) to the "Unlock" position.

  • To lock a door, push the door lock button (1) to the "Lock" position.

  • To open a door, pull the door handle (2) outward.

If the inner door handle of the driver's door is pulled when the door lock button is in the lock position, the button will unlock and the door will open.

Front doors cannot be locked if the ignition key is in the ignition switch and any front door is opened.

Doors cannot be locked if the smart key is in the vehicle and an door is open.

  • Front door

    • If the inner door handle is pulled when the door is locked, the door will unlock and open.

  • Rear door

    • If the inner door handle is pulled once when the door is locked, the door will unlock.

    • If the inner door handle is pulled once more, the door will open.

WARNING

Door lock malfunction

If a power door lock ever fails to function whilst you are in the vehicle, try one or more of the following techniques to exit:

  • Operate the door unlock feature repeatedly (both electronic and manual) whilst simultaneously pulling on the door handle.

  • Operate the other door locks and handles, front and rear.

  • Lower a front window and use the key to unlock the door from outside.

  • Move to the cargo area and open the tailgate.

WARNING

Do not pull the inner door handle of driver's (or passenger's) door whilst the vehicle is moving.

With central door lock switch

Operate by pressing the central door lock switch.

  • To lock all vehicle doors, press the left portion (1) for driver side of the switch.

  • To unlock all vehicle doors, press the right portion (2) for driver side of the switch.

If the key is in the ignition switch (or if the smart key is in the vehicle) and any door is opened, the doors will not lock even though the left portion (1) for driver side of the central door lock switch is pressed.

WARNING

Doors

  • The doors should always be fully closed and locked whilst the vehicle is in motion to prevent accidental opening of the door. Locked doors will also discourage potential intruders when the vehicle stops or slows down.

  • Be careful when opening doors and watch out for vehicles, motorcycles, bicycles or pedestrians approaching the vehicle in the path of the door. Opening a door when something is approaching can result in an accident to cause vehicle damage or serious injury.

WARNING

Unlocked vehicles

Leaving your vehicle unlocked can increase the risk of vehicle theft or any possible criminal harm caused by someone hiding in your vehicle whilst you are gone. Always remove the ignition key, engage the parking brake, close all windows and lock all doors when leaving your vehicle unattended.

WARNING

Unattended children, the elderly or pets

An enclosed vehicle can become extremely hot, causing death or severe injury such as heatstroke to unattended children, the elderly or pets who cannot escape the vehicle. When left or trapped in a hot vehicle, make sure to stay hydrated and avoid sun exposure through the vehicle’s windshield. Furthermore, children might operate features of the vehicle that could injure them, or they could encounter other harm, possibly from someone gaining entry to the vehicle. Never leave children or animals unattended in your vehicle.
