To lock the door from the inside, rotate the
lock lever rearward. To unlock the door

ward.
The red mark on the lock lever appears

locked door.
Always make sure that all doors and the
rear gate (for Wagon) are closed before
starting to drive.
Keep all doors locked when you
drive, especially when small chil-
dren are in your vehicle.
Along with the proper use of seat-
belts and child restraints, locking
the doors reduces the chance of be-
ing thrown out of the vehicle in an
accident.
It also helps prevent passengers
from falling out if a door is acciden-
tally opened, and intruders from un-
expectedly opening doors and en-
tering your vehicle.
