Closing the freestyle doors
1. Close the rear door first, and then close
the front door.
Front door
Rear door
CAUTION
Before closing a front door make sure
other passengers are not operating a
rear door and a rear passenger's
head or hands are away from the
rear door. If the front door is closed
while a passenger is operating the
rear door handle, a hand or fingers
could be injured if the handle is
forced back. Also, a rear passenger
could hit their head against the door
during access to the rear seat.
NOTE
The front door cannot latch or lock while the
rear door is opened.
2. Make sure the freestyle doors are
securely closed.
WARNING
Make sure the rear door is closed
securely before closing the front door:
Driving with the doors not securely
closed is dangerous. If the rear door
is not completely closed, the front
door will not be securely closed. This
could cause the front door to open
unexpectedly while driving and may
result in an accident.
