Rear Doors To open the rear doors from the outside, pull the handle toward you to open the passenger side rear door first. { WARNING: 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. The chance of being thrown out of the vehicle in a crash is increased if the doors are not locked. So, all passengers should wear safety belts properly and the doors should be locked whenever the vehicle is driven. • 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 the vehicle whenever leaving 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. To open the driver side rear door, pull the latch release at the inside edge of the door. To close the rear doors, close the driver side rear door first. Then close the passenger side rear door. Check to make sure both doors are completely closed. 3-15
