Buick 1997 Skylark - Door Locks and Security

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 key or the Remote Keyless
Entry System
if your vehicle has this option.
From the inside, to lock the door, slide the lock
control rearward.
To unlock the door, slide the lock control forward.
The lock control will show orange when in the
UNLOCK position.
