Doors and Locks Door Locks There are several ways to lock and unlock your vehicle. From the outside, use your key or the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter. See Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) System Operation on page 2-4. To manually unlock the front doors from the outside, insert the key and turn it toward the front of the vehicle. To manually lock the doors from the outside, insert the key and turn it toward the rear of the vehicle. All doors, except for the driver's door, can be locked by pushing down the manual door lock and then closing the door. On vehicles with power locks, the driver's door can only by locked from the outside by using the key or the optional remote keyless entry transmitter. From the inside, you can lock and unlock all of the doors by pushing or pulling the manual door lock located on each door. { CAUTION: 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. You increase the chance of being thrown out of the vehicle in a crash if the doors are not locked. So, wear safety belts properly and lock the doors whenever you drive. • 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 your vehicle whenever you leave 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. 2-6
