Owner's Manual

Door Locks
I
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 your door key.
(If your vehicle has
the Vehicle and Content Theft-DeterrentlAlarm System
and it
is armed, unlocking and opening a door this way
will set
off the alarm. See “Vehicle and Content
Theft-DeterrenVAlarm System” in the Index.)
