Lock (1)

All doors (and tailgate) are locked if the lock button is pressed.

If all doors (and tailgate) are closed, the hazard warning lights will blink once to indicate that all doors (and tailgate) are locked.

If the lock button is pressed once more within 4 seconds, the horn will beep once with the hazard warning lights blinking once.

However, if any door (or tailgate) remains open, the hazard warning lights will not operate. But if all doors (and tailgate) are closed after the lock button is pressed, the hazard warning lights will blink once.

Unlock (2)

The driver's door is unlocked if the unlock button is pressed once. The hazard warning lights will blink twice to indicate that the driver's door is unlocked.

2 stage unlocking may be disabled or re-enabled by simultaneously pressing the Lock (1) and Unlock (2) button for 4 seconds (disabling 2 stage unlock allows all vehicle doors to unlock simultaneously).
