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 it will not open. 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.
CAUTION: (Continued)

•
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.
To lock or unlock your vehicle from the outside,
use the keyless access transmitter and press
the appropriate lock or unlock button. You may
also unlock and open the door passively when you
squeeze the door handle sensor, as long as you
have your transmitter with you. Passive entry
occurs when the door handle sensor is pressed
and the vehicle recognizes your keyless
access transmitter. When the passenger door is
opened first, the driver's door will also become
unlocked.
