Door Locks

CAUTION:

Unlocked doors can be dangerous.
D Passengers

especially children

can

easily open the doors and fall out of a
moving vehicle. When a door is locked, the
handle won’t open it. You increase the
chance of being thrown out of the vehicle in
a crash if the doors aren’t locked. So, wear
safety belts properly and lock the doors
whenever you drive.

D 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.

D 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 your vehicle.

Because your vehicle has the theft

deterrent system, you

must unlock the doors with the key or remote keyless
entry transmitter to avoid setting off the alarm. If the
windows are down and the doors are locked, don’t reach
in to manually unlock the vehicle because you will set
off the alarm.

From the outside, use either the key or the remote
keyless entry transmitter.

From the inside, use
the manual lock levers
located on the door panels
near the windows.

Push down on the manual lock lever to lock the door.
To unlock the door, pull up on the lever.
