Door Locks
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 won't open it. You increase the
chance of being thrown out of the vehicle in
a crash if the doors aren't 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.
There are several ways to lock and unlock your vehicle.
To unlock the door from the outside, use the keyless
entry system or the key.
To unlock the door from the
inside, slide the manual
lever forward. To lock the
door, slide the manual lever
rearward.

front door to lock all the doors at once.
Press the recessed side of the switch marked U to unlock
all the doors at once.
The power door locks will operate at any time without
the ignition being on.Programmable Locks
The power door locks can be programmed to
automatically lock and unlock depending on the settings
you have chosen in the Secondary Information Center
(SIC). See ªSecondary Information Centerº in the Index
for more information.
Operating the power locks may interact with the
theft
-deterrent system. See ªContent Theft-Deterrentº in
the Index.
Lockout Prevention
This feature protects you from locking your key
in the vehicle when the key is in the ignition and a
door is open.
If the power lock switch is pressed when a door is open
and the key is in the ignition, all of the doors will lock
and then the driver's door will unlock.
