Door Locks
CAUTION:
{
Unlocked doors can be dangerous.
•
Passengers, especially children, can easily
open the doors and fall out of a moving
vehicle. When a door is locked, the handle
will not open it. You increase the chance
of being thrown out of the vehicle in a
crash if the doors are not locked. So, wear
safety belts properly and lock the doors
whenever you drive.
•
Young children who get into unlocked
vehicles may be unable to get out. A child
can be overcome by extreme heat and can
suffer permanent injuries or even death
from heat stroke. Always lock your vehicle
whenever you leave it.
•
Outsiders can easily enter through an
unlocked door when you slow down or
stop your vehicle. Locking your doors can
help prevent this from happening.
There are several ways to lock and unlock your vehicle.
From the outside, use your key or Remote Keyless
Entry (RKE) transmitter, if the vehicle has one. Turn the
key counterclockwise to unlock the door.
From the inside, lock and unlock the door by moving the
manual lock knob down and up, or by using the power
door lock switches.

The power door lock switches are located on the front
doors.

The DOOR AJAR message will display through the
