Child protection helps prevent doors from being
opened accidentally, especially when small chil-
dren are in the rear seat.
A lever is provided on each rear door.
If the lever is set to the locked position, the rear
door cannot be opened using the inside handle.
To open the rear door while the child protection is
in use, pull the outside door handle.
If the lever is set to the “Unlock” position, the
child protection mechanism does not function.
CAUTION
l
When driving with a child in the rear
seat, please use the child protection to pre-
vent accidental door opening which may
cause an accident.
