Operating door locks from inside the vehicle

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

With the door handle

  • Front door:

    If the inner door handle (1) 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.

Door lock malfunction

If a power door lock ever fails to function while 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) while 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.

WARNING

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

With central door lock switch

Driver side
Passenger side

Operate by pressing the central door lock switch.

  • When pressing the right portion (2) for the driver side or the upper portion (2) for the passenger side of the switch, all vehicle doors will lock.

  • When pressing the left portion (1) for the driver side or the lower portion (1) for the passenger side of the switch, all vehicle doors will unlock.

  • If the smart key is in the vehicle and any door is opened, the doors will not lock even though the right portion (2) for the driver side or upper portion (2) for the passenger side of the central door lock switch is pressed.

WARNING

Doors

  • The doors should always be fully closed and locked while the vehicle is in motion to prevent accidental opening of a door.

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

WARNING

Unattended children/animals

Never leave children or animals unattended in your vehicle. An enclosed vehicle can become extremely hot, causing death or severe injury to unattended children or animals who cannot escape the vehicle.
