Doors and Locks

Operation from outside

To lock the rear and front passenger 

doors with the door-lock knob from the 

outside, press the door-lock knob to the 

lock position and close the door (holding 

the door handle in the open position is not 

required).

This does not operate the other door locks.

NOTE

When locking the door this way:



  Be careful not to leave the key inside the 

vehicle.



  The driver's door lock knob cannot be 

used while the driver's door is open.

 Rear Door Child Safety Locks

These locks are intended to help prevent 

children from accidentally opening the 

rear doors. Use them on both rear doors 

whenever a child rides in the rear seat of 

the vehicle.

If you slide the child safety lock to the 

lock position before closing that door, the 

door cannot be opened from the inside. 

The door can only be opened by pulling 

the outside handle.
