KEYS AND DOORS
38
Closing the door with the lock button pushed in will also lock
the door. If the electronic key is left in the vehicle, locking
cannot be done.
If the vehicle is subjected to a severe frontal, rear or side
impact with the engine switch in “IG
−
ON” mode, all the doors
will unlock automatically after a few seconds.
CAUTION
Before driving, make sure the doors are closed and
locked, especially when small children are in the
vehicle. Along with the proper use of seat belts, locking
the doors helps prevent the driver and passengers from
being thrown out from the vehicle during an accident.
It also helps prevent the doors from being opened
unintentionally.

To lock all the doors simultaneously, push the power door
lock switch down on the lock side. Pushing down on the
unlock side will unlock them.
When you push the power door lock switch on the unlock side
to unlock the doors to allow a passenger to get in, the outer foot
lights come on. To turn off the lights, push the power door lock
switch on the lock side. (For details, see “Outer foot lights” on
page 212.)
The same switch is also found on the front passenger’s side.
However, pushing this switch will neither turn on nor off the
outer foot lights.
