1.
Close and Lock the Doors
After everyone has entered the
vehicle, be sure the doors and trunk
are closed and locked.
Your vehicle has a door and trunk
open monitor on the multi-
information display to indicate when
a specific door or the trunk is not
tightly closed.
Protecting Adults and Teens
Locking the doors reduces the
chance of someone being thrown out
of the vehicle during a crash, and it
helps prevent passengers from
accidentally opening a door and
falling out.
Locking the doors also helps prevent
an outsider from unexpectedly
opening a door when you come to a
stop.
