KEYS AND DOORS If the vehicle is subjected to a severe frontal, rear or side impact with the ignition switch turned to the "ON" position, all doors will unlock automatically after a few seconds. Locking with power door lock switch CAUTION Before driving, make sure the doors are closed and locked, especially when small children are in the vehicle. Along with the proper use of seat belts, locking the doors helps prevent the driver and passengers from being thrown out from the vehicle during an accident. It also helps prevent the doors from being opened unintentionally. " 1 Lock 11L048a 2 Unlock To lock all the doors simultaneously, push the power door lock switch down on the front side. Pushing down on the rear side will unlock them. When you push the power door lock switch on the rear side to unlock the doors to allow a passenger to get in, the outer foot lights come on. To turn off the lights, push the power door lock switch on the front side. (For details, see "Outer foot lights" on page 125.) The same switch is also found on the front passenger's side. However, pushing this switch will neither turn on nor off the outer foot lights. 20
