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, use your key or the remote keyless entry transmitter. See Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) System Operation .
To manually unlock the doors from the outside, insert the key and turn it toward the front of the vehicle. To manually lock the doors from the outside, insert the key and turn it toward the rear of the vehicle. Using the key in the driver's door will lock or unlock all the doors at the same time. Using the key in the front passenger's door will only unlock that door.
All doors, except the driver's door, can be locked from the outside by pushing down the manual door lock and then closing the door. The driver's door lock cannot be pushed in while the door is opened.
Upon leaving the vehicle, the driver's door can only be locked from the outside by using the key or the remote keyless entry transmitter.
From the inside, you can lock and unlock all of the doors by pushing or pulling the manual door lock located on the window sill on each door.
From the inside, you can also lock and unlock the doors with the power door lock switches located on the door.
