WARNING:
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, the handle will not open
it. The chance of being thrown out of the
vehicle in a crash is increased if the doors are
not locked. So, all passengers should wear
safety belts properly and the doors should
be locked whenever the vehicle is driven.

•
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 the vehicle whenever
leaving 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.
To lock and unlock the vehicle manually:
•
From inside the vehicle, pull up or down on the
manual door lock knob located on the windowsill.
•
From outside the vehicle, turn the key toward the
front or rear of the vehicle to unlock or lock the door.
