Sliding Door Security Lock Your vehicle is equipped with a sliding door security lock that helps prevent young children or other passengers from opening the sliding door by using the inside door handle. The security lock lever is located on the inside of the sliding door, on the front edge of the door. To access the lever, open the sliding door. Use the security lock label on the edge of the door as a guide. This lock is on both doors if your vehicle is equipped with dual sliding doors. To use the security lock, move the security lock lever all the way up and close the door from the outside. If your vehicle is equipped with a power sliding door, you can override the security lock by pressing either power door switch when the power sliding door is turned off. When the power sliding door is turned on, the power sliding door cannot be opened from the inside when the sliding door security lock is in use. If you want to open the sliding door when the security lock is on, unlock the sliding door and open the door from the outside. You should let adults and older children know how the security lock works, and how to cancel the lock. If you don't, adults or older children who ride in the rear won't be able to open the sliding door from the inside when the security lock feature is in use. 2-30
