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 your door key or the remote keyless entry transmitter. If your theft-deterrent system is armed, unlock the driver's door only with the key or by using the remote keyless entry transmitter to open either door to avoid setting off the alarm. See "Theft-Deterrent System" in the Index. To lock the door from the inside, move the manual lock control located on the door forward. To unlock it, move the lock control on the door backward. 2-4
