Door Locks

CAUTION:

Unlocked doors can be dangerous.
D Passengers

--

especially children

--

can easily

open the doors and fall out of a moving
vehicle. When a door is locked, the handle
won’t open it. You increase the chance of
being thrown out of the vehicle in a crash
if the doors aren’t locked. So, wear safety
belts properly and lock the doors whenever
you drive.

D 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.

D 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.

If your vehicle is equipped with keyless entry, see
“Keyless Entry System” later in this section for
more information.

From the outside, use your key.

To lock the door from the
inside, slide the manual
lever on your door down.
To unlock the door, slide
the manual lever up.
