Close and Lock the Doors

After everyone has entered the
vehicle, be sure the doors are closed
and locked.
Your vehicle has a door monitor
36 for indicator on the instrument panel to
indicate when a specific door is not
tightly closed.
Locking the doors reduces the
chance of someone being thrown out
of the vehicle during a crash, and it
helps prevent passengers from
