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. The red mark on the door lock button will be visible.

  • To lock a door, push the door lock button (1) to the "Lock" position. If the door is locked properly, the red mark on the door lock button will not be visible.

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

  • If the inner door handle of the driver's (or front passenger's) door is pulled when the door lock button is in the lock position, the button will unlock and the door will open.

  • Doors cannot be locked if the smart key is in the vehicle and/or door is 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 driver's (or passenger's) door while the vehicle is moving. Doing so can distract the driver or cause an occupant to fall out.

With central door lock switch

Driver side
Passenger side

Operate by pressing the central door lock switch.

  • When pressing the right portion (1) for the driver side or the upper portion (1) for the passenger side of the switch, all vehicle doors will lock.

  • When pressing the left portion (2) for the driver side or the lower portion (2) 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 (1) for the driver side or upper portion (1) 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 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

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.
