Rear Door Child Safety Locks

These locks are intended to help prevent 
children from accidentally opening the 
sliding doors. Use them both whenever a 
child rides in the vehicle.
To lock the sliding doors, slide the child 
safety locks to the lock position before 
closing the doors.

With power sliding doors

The doors cannot be opened using the 
interior door handles or the power sliding 
door switches in the rear.

To open a door, pull the door-lock knob 
and do any one of the following:

•

Pull the exterior door handle.

•

Push the power sliding door button on 
the transmitter for one second or more.

•

Push the power sliding door switch 
located at the driver’s seat for one 
second or more (page 3-13).

Without power sliding doors

The doors cannot be opened from the 
inside whether the door-lock knobs are in 
the lock position or the unlock position.

To open a door, pull the door-lock knob 
and pull the exterior handle.

Easy Closure (With Power 
Sliding Doors)

The Easy Closure system automatically 
closes the doors completely from the 
near-shut position.
This system also operates when the doors 
are closed manually.

Hands and Fingers Pinched in 
Closing Sliding Doors:
Placing hands or fingers around a 
sliding door is dangerous because the 
door closes automatically from the 
near-shut position, hands and fingers 
could get pinched and injured. When 
closing a sliding door, always keep 
hands and fingers away from the 
door.

When closing a door, do not use 
excessive force as it may damage the 
system.
