Doors and Locks Door Locks There are several ways to lock and unlock your vehicle. From the outside, use your key or, if your vehicle has one, the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter. Turn the key counterclockwise to unlock the door. Turn the key clockwise to lock the door. From the inside, use the manual lock knobs or the power lock switches. {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. Power Door Locks The power door lock switches are located on the driver's and front passenger's door. Press the outboard side of the switch to unlock all doors. Press the inboard side of the switch to lock all doors. The rear doors do not have power door lock switches. Rear seat passengers must use the manual lock knob on their doors. 2-10
