Double Locking

Double locking prevents the interior door handles from unlocking the doors.

Double locking is activated by turning the key, using the driver door lock cylinder to the
unlock position and then to the lock position within three seconds or by pressing the lock
button twice within three seconds on the remote transmitter.

Successful double locking is indicated by the turn signals flashing twice, one short flash
followed by a long flash and a chirp (if enabled).

Double locking will be inhibited if the REM or FEM senses the hood, a door or the luggage
compartment is ajar or open. The REM/FEM receives its input from the door ajar switches.

If the vehicle battery becomes discharged after the double locking or central locking has been
activated, opening the driver door with the key will mechanically deactivate the double
locking on the driver door only.

Master Lock Switch

NOTE:

Operating the locks more than 15 times in 20 seconds will cause the central locking to be
inhibited for 20 seconds. If the locks are required to be operated in the 20 second waiting
period they can be operated individually.

The master lock switch will only operate the central locking if the ignition key is in the
'accessory' or 'on' positions. If any door is open and the master lock switch is pressed to
centrally lock the vehicle, no doors will lock. If the hood or luggage compartment lid is open
and the master lock switch is pressed to centrally lock the vehicle all doors will lock.

Glove Compartment Lid

The glove compartment lid has no release handle. It is opened automatically when the release
switch is operated. The release switch is located in the instrument panel between the glove
compartment lid and the floor console.

The glove compartment lid latch is released by a 12 volt electric motor which is operated by
the glove compartment lid release switch.

The glove compartment lid cannot be opened when the following occurs:

•

the vehicle is being driven using the green valet key and the vehicle is in the valet
mode

•

the vehicle is centrally or double locked

•

the vehicle is locked with the front door lock cylinder, when in the valet mode

The glove compartment lid opening will also be inhibited if:

•

the ignition key has been removed from the ignition lock for 40 minutes and the driver
door has not been opened or closed

•

the ignition key has been removed from the ignition lock for 30 minutes and the drive
door has been opened and closed
