Door Locks

WARNING:
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.

Entry (RKE) transmitter. See Remote Keyless Entry
(RKE) System Operation on page 3‑4.

insert the key and turn it counterclockwise. To manually
lock the doors, insert the key and turn it clockwise.

the door. On vehicles with power locks, the driver door
can only by locked from the outside by using the key or
the optional RKE transmitter.
