Doors and Locks Door Locks There are several ways to lock and unlock your vehicle. From the outside, turn the key towards the front of the vehicle to lock the door and towards the rear of the vehicle to unlock it or use the remote keyless entry transmitter, if equipped. From the inside, move the lock control on the door or use the power door lock switch, if equipped. {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. Power Door Locks If your vehicle has power door locks, the switches are located on the driver's and front passenger's doors. Press the bottom of the switch to lock all doors. Press the top of the switch to unlock all doors. 2-8
