In case of emergency such as when the 
battery is discharged, the only way to 
lock the door(s) is with the mechanical 
key from the outside key hole.
Doors without an outside key hole can be 
locked as follows:
1.
  Open the door.
2.
  Insert a small blade tool (e.g. 
screwdriver or similar) into the 
emergency door lock hole and turn it 
counterclockwise for left side door, or 
turn it clockwise for right side door.
3.
  Close the door securely.
 Information
If the electrical power door lock switch 
does not operate (ex. dead car battery) and 
the tailgate is closed, you will not be able 
to open the tailgate until power is restored.
 WARNING
•  The doors should always be fully 
closed and locked while the 
vehicle is in motion. If the doors 
are unlocked, the risk of being 
thrown from the vehicle in a crash is 
increased.
•
  Do not pull the inner door handle of 
the driver’s or passenger’s door while 
the vehicle is moving.
 WARNING
Do not leave children or animals 
unattended in your vehicle. An enclosed 
vehicle can become extremely hot, 
causing death or serious injury to 
unattended children or animals who 
cannot escape the vehicle. Children 
might operate features of the vehicle 
that could injure them, or they could 
encounter other harm, possibly from 
someone gaining entry to the vehicle.
 WARNING
Always secure your vehicle.
Leaving your vehicle unlocked increases 
the potential risk to you or others from 
someone hiding in your vehicle.
To secure your vehicle, while 
depressing the brake, shift the gear 
to the P (Park) position, engage the 
parking brake, and press the Start/
Stop button to the OFF position, close 
all windows, lock all doors, and always 
take the key with you.
