The Kia Telluride allows the doors to be locked or unlocked from inside the cabin using either the interior door handles or the central door lock switch.

If a power door lock does not operate while you are inside the Kia Telluride, try one or more of the following methods to exit the vehicle safely:

• Operate both the electronic and manual door unlocking methods repeatedly while pulling the inside door handle.

• Try operating the locks and handles on the remaining front and rear doors.

• Lower one of the front windows and unlock the vehicle from outside using the mechanical key.
