Information

  • In cold and humid climates, the door lock and door mechanisms may not operate properly due to freezing conditions.
  • If the door is locked/unlocked several times in quick succession with either the vehicle key or the door lock switch, the system may stop operating temporarily to protect the circuit and prevent damage to system components.

In an emergency

If the power door lock switch does not work (for example, due to a dead vehicle battery), the only way to lock the door(s) is with the mechanical key from the keyhole on the outside.

Doors without an outside key hole can be locked as follows:

1. Open the door.

2. Insert the key into the emergency key hole in the door lock and turn the key horizontally to lock.

3. Close the door firmly.

Information

If the power door lock switch does not work (for example, due to a dead vehicle battery) and the trunk lid is closed, you will not be able to open the trunk lid until power is restored.
