Door Locks CAUTION: 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 either the key or the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter. Because your vehicle has the theft-deterrent system, you must unlock the doors with the key or RKE transmitter to avoid setting off the alarm. The manual lock is located on the top of the door panel near the window. Push the manual lock lever down to lock the door from the inside. To unlock the door, raise the lock lever. 2-4
