Lockout Prevention
If you forget and leave the key in the
ignition switch, Lockout Prevention
will not allow you to lock the driver's
door. With the driver's door open
and the key in the ignition, both
master door lock switches are
disabled.
However, if the driver's door is not
open, the master door lock switches
are not disabled. Pushing the switch
down on the open passenger's door
will lock both doors.
If you try to lock an open driver's
door by pushing in the lock tab, the
tabs on both doors pop out. Pushing
in the lock tab on the passenger's
door only locks that door.
Trunk
TRUNK RELEASE
HANDLE
You can open the trunk in two ways:
Pull the trunk release handle to
the left of the driver's seat.
Use the master key to open the
trunk lock. The valet key does not
work in this lock.
Keys and Locks
MASTER KEY

the trunk lid.
See page 129 for cargo loading and
weight limit information. Keep the

driving to avoid damaging the lid,
and to prevent exhaust gas from
getting into the interior. See Carbon
