The back door will lock if you close it with the driver's door locked. Closing the back door when the side doors are unlocked with the key or power door lock switch will allow the back door to open without a key. If you want the back door locked without locking the side doors, insert the key into the back door lock and turn it clockwise. Locking in this manner will lock the back door when closed after you open it next time.
 

BACK DOOR OPENER:

To open the back door while sitting in the driver's seat, pull the lever up.

CAUTION: Keep the back door closed while driving. This not only keeps the luggage from being thrown out but also prevents exhaust gases from entering the vehicle.
