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 it will not
open. 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.
2-10
There are several ways to lock and unlock your vehicle.
From the outside, press the lock or unlock button on
the keyless access transmitter.
Door Open to Show Location of Door Handle Sensor
When you have the transmitter with you, you may also
unlock and open the door by squeezing the door handle
sensor (A). You do not have to press the unlock button
on the transmitter. You will be able to open the door
when you press the door handle sensor and the vehicle
recognizes your keyless access transmitter. When the
passenger door is opened first, the driver's door will also
unlock.
