Door Locks

WARNING:
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. 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 safety 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.

WARNING: (Continued)
There are several ways to lock and unlock the vehicle.
From the outside, use your key or the Remote Keyless
Entry (RKE) transmitter. See Remote Keyless Entry
(RKE) System Operation on page 3 4.
To manually unlock the front doors from the outside,
insert the key and turn it counterclockwise. To manually
lock the doors, insert the key and turn it clockwise.
All doors, except for the driver door, can be locked by
pushing down the manual door lock and then closing
the door. On vehicles with power locks, the driver door
can only by locked from the outside by using the key or
the optional RKE transmitter.
From the inside, all of the doors can be locked and
unlocked by pushing or pulling the manual door lock
located on each door.

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.
