Pontiac 2010 Vibe - Manual (Page 11)

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, 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.

CAUTION (Continued)
• 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.
To lock and unlock your vehicle
from the outside, use your key or the
Remote Keyless Entry transmitter,
if equipped. See Remote Keyless
Entry (RKE) System Operation
on page 1-3 for more information.
Open the driver door, on vehicles
with power door locks, by turning the
key in the lock toward the rear of
the vehicle.
Turn the key back toward the center
and toward the rear again, within
three seconds, to unlock all of the
doors. Use the key in the passenger
door to also unlock all of the doors.
Lock a door by turning the key
toward the front of the vehicle.
If you have power door locks,
all the doors will lock.
To manually lock or unlock the door
from the inside, move the lever
on the door forward or rearward.
The driver and front passenger door
open from the inside while locked.
With manual locks, the key must
be used to lock and unlock the
liftgate.
