THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE 33 To use the system, open each rear door, slide the lever up to engage the locks, and down to disengage the childprotection locks. When the system on a door is engaged, that door can only be opened by using the outside door handle, even if the inside door lock is in the unlocked position. NOTE: • After setting the child protection door lock system, always test the door from the inside to make certain it is in the desired position. • For emergency exit with the system engaged, move the door lock switch to the UNLOCK position, roll down the window and open the door with the outside door handle. 2 WARNING! Avoid trapping anyone in a vehicle in a collision. Remember that the rear doors can only be opened from the outside when the child protection locks are engaged.
