How do I lock the tailgate on a Honda Ridgeline?

Can you lock the tailgate on a 2020 Honda Ridgeline? I work as a remodeling contractor, so I always carry equipment and tools in my trunk. I’ve noticed when I press the lock button on the key fob, my tailgate doesn't lock. I don’t want someone to steal any of my tools or equipment.

Yes, you can lock the tailgate on a 2020 Honda Ridgeline! Here’s how you do it:
  • Step 1: Park your vehicle on flat ground. Make sure you turn the ignition to ON. Don’t start the car.
  • Step 2: On the left of your display screen, press the home button. Select the Setting option.
  • Step 3: A list of options will appear, select the Vehicle option. Next, search for the Door Setup option and tap it.
  • Step 4: Scroll to the bottom of the list and tap Tailgate Power Locking. Tap Enable to have the tailgate power-lock and unlock along with the vehicle doors. For future reference, if you tap Disable, this means the tailgate will remain unlocked at all times.
  • Step 5: After clicking Enable, confirm your choice by clicking OK on the menu screen. Touch the Home icon on the left of the display menu to return to the Home screen.
