Locking The Doors Mechanically

In the event of a discharged vehicle battery, or an inoperative
transmitter key, the right hand door may be locked by pressing
down the door sill button, and holding the exterior handle raised
as the door is closed. The left hand door may be locked in a simi-
lar manner, or by using the key in the exterior lock barrel; insert
the key, turn fully clockwise, return to the vertical and withdraw.
To unlock, insert the key into the lock, turn fully counterclockwise,
return to the vertical and withdraw.
Note:
-
Locking the doors mechanically will not arm the alarm.
-
When locking both doors by pressing down the sill buttons,
be aware of the potential for inadvertently locking the keys in
the vehicle.

Safety Inertia Switch

When the engine is running, if the vehicle suffers a violent
impact indicative of a crash, a safety inertia switch operates
automatically to unlock the doors and turn off the fuel pump
(see page 151).
