Doors and Locks
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 it
will not open. 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.
•
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 the transmitter with you, you may also
unlock and open the door by squeezing the door
handle sensor (A). You do not have to press the unlock
button on the transmitter. You will be able to open
the door when you press the door handle sensor and
the vehicle recognizes your keyless access transmitter.
When the passenger door is opened first, the driver’s
door will also unlock.
