WARNING
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.
.
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

WARNING (Continued)
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.

key from the outside or the door
lock from the inside.

Delayed Locking

transmitter twice will override the
delayed locking feature and
immediately lock all the doors.

(DIC). See “DELAY DOOR LOCK”
under Vehicle Personalization (With
DIC Buttons) on page 5‑42.
