Lock indication

When the vehicle is locked or unlocked, the turn signals will flash to indicate that the vehicle has been locked or unlocked correctly.

Exterior confirmation

All doors, tailgate and hood must be closed for confirmation to be given. If only the driver's door is closed when the vehicle is locked2, the vehicle will be locked but the turn signals will only flash to indicate locking when all doors and the hood and tailgate have been closed.
