1996 NISSAN QUEST Owners Manual

CAUTION
cAlways have the doors locked while
driving. Along with the use of seat
belts, this provides greater safety in
the event of an accident by helping
to prevent persons from being
thrown from the vehicle. This also
helps keep children and others from
unintentionally opening the doors,
and will help keep out intruders.
cBefore opening any door, always
look for and avoid oncoming traffic.
cAlways use the door handle to open
or close the sliding door. Do not
attempt to open or close the door by
merely placing your hand on the
door edge or door slide roller, as this
may cause injury.
cWhen opening the sliding door on a
slope, ensure that it is fully open and
that it does not close by itself.
CHILD SAFETY SLIDING DOOR
LOCK
Child safety locking helps prevent doors
from being opened accidentally, especially
when small children are in the vehicle.
When the lever is in the lock position, the
sliding door can be opened only from the
outside.

cPushing a front door lock knob in locks all
doors. When locking the doors this way,

door. From that position, returning the
key to Neutral (where the key can only be
removed and inserted) and turning it to
the rear again within 5 seconds unlocks
all doors. This function can be operated
from the driver, passenger or sliding
door.
