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 your door key.
If
your vehicle has a theft-deterrent system and
it
is
activated,
unlock the doors only with the key or Remote Keyless Entry
System.
This
will avoid setting
off
the
alm.
To
lock the door from the inside, move the lock control
on the door forward.
To unlock the door, move the lock control toward the
rear of the vehicle. There
is
a red mark on the lock
control which shows when the door is unlocked.
