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.

From the outside, use your key or press UNLOCK 
on the optional remote keyless entry transmitter. 
See “Remote Keyless Entry” in the Index for 
more information.

To unlock either front door from the outside with 
the key, insert the key and turn it toward the front 
of the vehicle.

To lock either front door from the outside with the key,
insert the key and turn it toward the rear of the vehicle.

To lock any door from the
inside, push the manual
locking lever forward.

To unlock any door from the inside, pull back on the
manual locking lever.
