Door Locks
Unlocked doors can be dangerous.
Passengers
-- especially children -- can easily
open the doors and fall out. When a door is
locked, the inside handle won’t open it.
Outsiders can easily enter through an unlocked
door when you slow down or stop your vehicle.
This may not be
so obvious: You increase the
chance
of being thrown out of the vehicle in a
crash if the doors aren’t locked. Wear safety belts
properly, lock your doors and you will be far
better off whenever you drive your vehicle.
There are several ways to lock and unlock your vehicle.
From the outside, use either the door key or the Remote
Keyless Entry
(RKE) transmitter.
If your vehicle has the optional theft-deterrent system,
you must unlock the doors with the key or
RKE
transmitter to avoid setting off the alarm.
Push the manual lock lever forward to lock the
door
from the inside. To unlock the door, pull back on
the lever.
Central Door Unlocking System
Your vehicle will have this feature if it is equipped with
the optional theft-deterrent system. When unlocking
either front door, you can unlock the other doors by
holding the key in the turned position for a few seconds
or by quickly turning the door key twice in the
lock cylinder.
