Doors and Locks

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 won't open it. You increase the
chance of being thrown out of the vehicle
in a crash if the doors aren't 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.
A manual door lock is located above each door handle.
To lock your door from the inside, push the manual lock
in. To unlock the door, pull the manual lock out.
When the doors are locked, they can't be opened using
the inside handles until the manual lock is pulled out.
