Sliding Doors When you drive with children in your vehicle, use the childproof door locks. This will prevent children from opening the doors accidentally (see page 85 ). To lock a sliding door when getting out of the vehicle, slide the lock knob backward and close the door. If you are parked on a hill, the doors may slide closed if they are not in the fully-open, latched position. You should hold the door to let passengers enter and exit safely. Each sliding door has a lock knob under the inside door handle. Slide the lock knob forward to unlock and backward to lock. Before refueling, make sure the driver's side sliding door is fully closed. When you release the fuel fill door with the handle, the sliding door automatically locks so it cannot be opened and interfere with the fuel fill door. After you close the fuel fill door, the sliding door does not automatically unlock; you must unlock it manually. Important Safety Precaution LOCK KNOB When parking on an incline, make sure the manual doors are latched in the fully-open position before allowing passengers to enter or exit the vehicle. Do not pull the inside or outside door handles or the latch will open and the door will slam shut. Instruments and Controls
