Door Locks
CAUTION:
Unlocked doors can be dangerous.
Passengers -- especially children -- can easily
open the doors and fall out. When a door is
locked, the inside handle won’t open it.
Outsiders can easily enter through an unlocked
door when you slow down or stop your vehicle.
This may not be so obvious: You increase the
chance of being thrown out of the vehicle in a
crash if the doors aren’t locked. Wear safety belts
properly, lock your doors, and you will be far
better off whenever you drive your vehicle.
There are several ways to lock and unlock your vehicle.
Use your key to lock and unlock your vehicle from
the outside.
You can also use the optional remote keyless entry
system to lock and unlock your vehicle. See “Remote
Keyless Entry System” in the Index.
To lock the door from the
inside, push the locking
lever forward.
To unlock the door, pull the locking lever backward.
