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, the handle will not open it.

So, all passengers should wear safety belts properly and the doors should be locked whenever the vehicle is driven. |

• | 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. |
