of the doors simultaneously,

press the individual safety lock buttons
down. To prevent the driver from being
inadvertently locked out of the vehicle, the
lock button on the driver's door automati-
cally extends again after a brief period if the
door remains open.
Do not use the safety lock buttons to
engage the locks for driving, as they
would then fail to disengage automatically
in the event of an accident.
Because any persons or animals left unat-

doors from the inside, you should always
