Rear-Door Child Security Locks
Your vehicle is equipped with rear
-
door child security
locks that help prevent passengers from opening the
rear doors of your vehicle from the inside. To use one
of these locks:
1. Open one of the rear doors.
2. On the inside of the rear
door will be a lock.
Insert your key into this
lock and turn it upward.
This will engage the
safety lock. To
disengage the feature,
turn the lock downward.
3. Close the door.
4. Do the same thing to the other rear door lock.
The rear doors of your vehicle cannot be opened from
the inside when this feature is in use. If you want to
open the rear door when the security lock is on, unlock
the door from the inside and then open the door from
the outside.
Lockout Protection Feature
The feature works by disabling the power door locks
when a key is in the ignition and any door is open.
You may override the lockout protection feature by
holding the power door lock switch in the lock position
for more than three seconds while the key is in the
ignition and any door is open.
Remember, this feature can’t guarantee that you’ll never
be locked out of your vehicle. If you use the manual
door lock or if you don’t leave the key in the ignition,
you could still lock your keys inside your vehicle.
Always remember to take your keys with you.
Leaving Your Vehicle
If you are leaving the vehicle, take your keys, open your
door and set the locks from inside. Then get out and
close the door. (Also see “Delayed Locking” in this
section for more information.)
