Door Locks

WARNING
Unlocked doors can be
dangerous.
Passengers, especially
children, can easily open the
doors and fall out of a moving
vehicle. The chance of being
thrown out of the vehicle in a
crash is increased if the
doors are not locked. So, all
passengers should wear
safety belts properly and the
doors should be locked
whenever the vehicle is
driven.
WARNING (Continued)
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 the
vehicle whenever leaving it.
Outsiders can easily enter
through an unlocked door
when slowing or stopping the
vehicle. Lock the doors to
help prevent this from
happening.
(Continued)
To lock and unlock the door, use the

Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)

transmitter or the key from the
outside, and the door lock knob or
switch from the inside.
From inside the vehicle with the
doors locked, pull once on the door
handle to unlock it, and a second
time to open it.
Manually locking the driver door
also automatically locks all other
doors.
