Door Locks
CAUTION:
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.
You can use the key, manual door locks, power door
locks or keyless entry system.
To lock the door from the
inside, slide the lever down.
To unlock the door, slide the lever up.
The manual switch, located on each door, works only
that door’s lock. It won’t lock (or unlock) all of the
doors
-- that’s a safety feature.
To unlock the door from the outside, you can also use
your key, but your vehicle has a theft
-deterrent system.
If it is armed, unlocking and opening the door this way
might set off the alarm. See “Theft-Deterrent System” in
the Index.
