If you lock the vehicle using the power locking

(increased security, for ex-
ample when you are stopped at a red light) .
- You can unlock and open the doors from the
inside by pulling on the door handle.
- If the driver's door is opened (after you have
locked the vehicle from the inside using the
power locking switch), the door will remain
unlocked to prevent you from locking your·
self out of your vehicle . After you close the
door, you have to lock the driver's door
again.

ed, the doors automatically unlock.
A
WARNING
- If you use the power locking switch with
the doors closed, remember that all the
vehicle doors will lock.
- Locking doors from the inside can help
prevent inadvertent door opening during
an accident and can also prevent unwant·
ed entry from the outside . Locked doors
can, however, delay assistance to vehicle
occupants and hold up rescue efforts
from the outside in an accident or other
emergency.
Emergency locking
If the power locking system fails (power fail-
ure), you will need to lock the passenger door
separately.
