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.
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.
CAUTION: (Continued)
CAUTION: (Continued)
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 your transmitter with you, you may
also unlock and open the door by pulling the door
handle. You do not have to press the unlock
button on the transmitter. Entry occurs when the
door handle is pulled and the vehicle recognizes
your transmitter. See Vehicle Personalization
on page 148 for information on how to program
the keyless access feature.
