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. 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.
There are several ways to lock and unlock the vehicle.
From the outside, use your key in the driver's door or the remote keyless entry transmitter, if equipped. See Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) System Operation. From the inside, use the manual or power door locks.
To manually unlock the driver's door from the outside, insert the key and turn it toward the front of the vehicle.
To manually lock the driver's door from the outside, insert the key and turn it toward the rear of the vehicle.
To lock a door from the inside, push the manual lock lever forward. To unlock a door, push the lever rearward.
