Caution: Unlocked doors can be dangerous.
• Passengers, especially children, can easily open the doors and fall out
of a moving vehicle. When a door is locked, the handle will not open it. The chance
of being thrown out of the vehicle in a crash is increased if the doors are not locked.
So, all passengers should wear safety belts properly and the doors should be locked
whenever the vehicle is driven. • 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 the vehicle whenever leaving it. • 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:
| • | Pull the door handle. If you have the keyless access transmitter, the vehicle recognizes the transmitter and automatically unlocks the door. |
| • | Another way to lock or unlock the vehicle, is to press the lock or unlock button on the keyless access transmitter. See Vehicle Personalization for information on how to program the keyless access feature. |
From the inside:
| • | Press the power door lock switch located on each front door. See Power Door Locks for more information. |
| • | Push down or pull up on the manual door lock knob for the rear door. The knob is located at the top of the door panel near the window. |
