Doors and Locks Door Locks Battery Under normal use, the battery in your key should last about five years. You can tell the battery is weak if the key won't work at the normal range in any location. If you have to get close to your vehicle before the key works, it is probably time for a new battery. See your dealer. The key buttons will not work if the battery inside the key is flat. Try turning the key in the ignition to ON, then off again and remove it. Try pressing LOCK on the key again. If it still does not work a replacement key may be needed from your vehicle dealer. {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. 2-6
