Protecting Adults and Teens

Locking the doors reduces the
chance of someone being thrown out
of the vehicle during a crash, and it
helps prevent passengers from
accidentally opening a door and
falling out.
Locking the doors also helps prevent
an outsider from unexpectedly
opening a door when you come to a
stop.
See page 96 for how to lock the
doors, and page 68 for how the door
and trunk open monitor system
works.
Your vehicle has the auto door
locking/unlocking feature. For more
information, see page 79 .
