Door Locks
{ 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 it
will not open. You increase the chance of
being thrown out of the vehicle in a crash
if the doors are not locked. So, wear safety
belts properly and lock the doors
whenever you drive.
• 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 your vehicle
whenever you leave 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, press the lock or unlock button on
the keyless access transmitter. When you have
the transmitter with you, you may also unlock and open
the door by squeezing the door handle sensor. You
do not have to press the unlock button on the
transmitter. You will be able to open the door when you
press the door handle sensor and the vehicle
recognizes your keyless access transmitter. When the
passenger door is opened first, the driver’s door will
also unlock.
From the inside, use the power door lock switch located
at the top of the door panel near both windows. See
Power Door Locks on page 2-12.
