After everyone has entered the
vehicle, be sure the doors and the
tailgate are closed and locked.
Your vehicle has a door/

when any door or the tailgate is not
tightly closed.
See page 140 for how to lock the
doors, and page 76 for how the door/
tailgate open indicator works.
Your vehicle has a door and tailgate
open indicator on the multi-

When one or more doors are not
tightly closed, the ''DOOR OPEN''
message will come on.
