Manual Door 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.
There are a couple of ways to lock and unlock your
vehicle manually.
To lock either door from the outside, turn the key
toward the rear of the vehicle. To unlock the door,
turn the key toward the front of the vehicle.
From inside the vehicle,
use the manual door lock
knob. Pull up or down
on the knob to unlock or
lock the door.
