Doors And Locks - Cadillac 2006 SRX Owner's Manual

Doors and 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.
2-8
There are several ways to lock and unlock your vehicle.
Because your vehicle has the theft-deterrent system,
you must unlock the doors from the outside with the
key or remote keyless entry transmitter to avoid setting
off the alarm. If the windows are down and the doors
are locked, don't reach in to manually unlock the vehicle
because you will set off the alarm.
Push down on the manual lock lever to lock the door.
To unlock the door, pull up on the lever.
From the inside, use the
manual lock levers located
on the door panels near
the windows.
