Each door has a backup power system which
allows the door to function if your vehicle
has no power. The system has a limited
number of operations before the power is
depleted and turns off. When the system
turns off, the door remains open and
unlatched and does not close.
If your vehicle has no power and the backup
power system is turned off, you can close
and secure your vehicle by manually
resetting each door latch using a key in the
position shown.
