Door Locks

CAUTION:

Unlocked doors can be dangerous.

Passengers 

--

 especially children 

--

 can easily

open the doors and fall out. When a door is
locked, the inside handle won’t open it.

Outsiders can easily enter through an unlocked
door when you slow down or stop your vehicle.

This may not be so obvious: You increase the
chance of being thrown out of the vehicle in a
crash if the doors aren’t locked. Wear safety belts
properly, lock your doors, and you will be far
better off whenever you drive your vehicle.

There are several ways to lock and unlock your vehicle.

From the outside, use your door key or remote keyless
entry transmitter. With your door key, turning the key
toward the front of the vehicle will lock the door.
Turning the key toward the rear of the vehicle will
unlock it.

If your vehicle has a content theft

deterrent system,

unlock the doors only with the key or remote keyless
entry system. This will avoid setting off the alarm.

To unlock the door from the inside, move the manual
door lock control located above the door handle
rearward. To lock the door, move the manual door lock
control forward.
