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 will not open it. You increase
the chance of being thrown out of the
vehicle in a crash if the doors are not
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.
There are several ways to lock and unlock the vehicle.
From the outside, turn the door/ignition key in the
driver's door lock cylinder briefly counterclockwise to
unlock the driver's door. Turn and hold it to unlock all the
doors. You can also use the remote keyless entry
transmitter. From the inside use the manual or power
door locks.
