
engaged, rotate the door lock button until
the lock indicator is hidden (unlocked
position), roll down the window, and open
the door with the outside door handle.
WARNING!
Avoid trapping anyone in a vehicle in a
collision. Remember that the rear doors
can only be opened from the outside when
the Child-Protection locks are engaged
(locked).
NOTE:
Always use this device when carrying chil-
dren. After engaging the child lock on both
rear doors, check for effective engagement
by trying to open a door with the internal

the doors from inside the vehicle. Before
getting out of the car, be sure to check that
there is no one left inside.
