To lock the doors, first push the inside lock switch to the "LOCK" position so that the red mark on the switch is notvisible, then closed the door. The door will not lock if the key is left in the ignition switch when the front doorsclose. This is normal. NOTE:
o When locking the door this way,
be careful not to lock the door with the ignition key left in the vehicle.
WARNING:
o Unlocked doors can be danger- ous. Before you drive away (es- pecially if there are children in the car), be sure that all the doorsare securely closed and locked so that the doors cannot be inad- vertently opened from the inside.This helps ensure that the doors will not be opened accidentally. Also, when combined with theproper use of seat belts, locking the doors helps keep occupants from being ejected from the carin case of an accident.
o Before opening the door, always
look for and avoid oncoming traf-fic.
o In case of accident, the door is
unlocked automatically.
