Door Locks - GMC 1996 Sonoma Owner's Manual

Door Locks
I
- -
Unlocked doors can be dangerous.
Passengers
--
especially children
--
can easily
open the doors and fall out. When a door is
locked, the inside handle won't open it.
Outsiders can easily enter through an unlocked
door when you slow down
or
stop your vehicle.
This may not be so obvious: You increase the
chance of being thrown out
of
the vehicle in a
crash if the doors aren't locked. Wear safety belts
properly, lock your doors, and you will be far
better off whenever you drive your vehicle.
