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:
| • | You can use the keyless entry system, if your vehicle has this feature. |
| • | You can use your key to unlock your door from the outside. |
| • | You can use the power lock switch (if equipped) to lock or unlock the doors. |
To manually lock or unlock a door from the inside, slide the manual lever on your door.
You will see a colored area on the lever when the door is unlocked.
