When closing a door, push the door with your hand. Make sure the doors are securely closed.

Information
- In cold and humid climates, the door lock and door mechanisms may not operate properly due to freezing conditions.
- If the doors are locked/unlocked repeatedly in succession with either the vehicle key or the door lock switch, the system may temporarily stop operating to protect the circuit and prevent damage to system components.
- The two-stage unlock setting can be changed using the remote key or in the User Settings mode on the cluster (if equipped).
