Door Locks

Warning
Unlocked doors can be dangerous.
Passengers, especially children, can
easily open the doors and fall out of a
moving vehicle. The doors can be
unlocked and opened while the vehicle
is moving. The chance of being thrown
out of the vehicle in a crash is
increased if the doors are not locked.
So, all passengers should wear seat
belts properly and the doors should be
locked whenever the vehicle is driven.
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 the vehicle whenever
leaving it.
Outsiders can easily enter through an
unlocked door when you slow down
or stop the vehicle. Locking the doors
can help prevent this from happening.
There are several ways to lock and unlock
the vehicle.
From outside:
Use the remote key.
Use Keyless Access, if equipped.
Use the key in the driver door or the
passenger door, if equipped.
From inside, pull the door handle once to
unlock the door. Pull the handle again to
open the door.
See Vehicle Alarm System 0 29.
Keyless Access
Keys, Doors, and Windows
If equipped, the remote key must be within
1 m (3 ft) of the tailgate or door being
opened or locked. Press the button on the
door handle to open. See Keyless Access
Operation in Remote Key Operation 0 12.
Free-Turning Locks
The door key lock cylinder turns freely when
either the wrong key is used, or the correct
key is not fully inserted. The free-turning
door lock feature prevents the lock cylinder
from being forced open. To reset the lock
cylinder, ensure the correct key is fully
inserted into the lock cylinder. Rotate the
key until you feel the lock cylinder click
back into place. Remove the key and
reinsert fully, rotate the key to unlock the
vehicle.
