whenever the vehicle is driven. |

death from heat stroke. Always lock the vehicle whenever leaving it. |

or stop your vehicle. Locking your doors can help prevent this from happening. |
To lock and unlock your vehicle, do one of the following:

lock the door from the inside by sliding the manual lock lever rearward. To
unlock the door, slide the manual lock lever forward. |
