REAR DOOR CHILDPROTECTORS
Move the lock lever to the “LOCK”
position as shown on the label.
This feature allows you to lock a rear
door so it can be opened from the outside
only, not from inside. We recommend us-
ing this feature whenever small children
are in the vehicle.
CAUTION
Before driving, be sure that the doors
are closed and locked, especially
when small children are in the ve-
hicle. Along with the proper use of
seat belts, locking the doors helps
prevent the driver and passengers
from being thrown out from the ve-
hicle during an accident. It also helps
prevent the doors from being opened
unintentionally.
You can set the following automatic
door locking and unlocking functions.
(a) Locking linked with the shift posi-
tion
All the side doors and back door are
locked automatically when the automatic
transmission selector lever is moved out
of the “P” position with the engine running
(including ignition switch in the “ON” posi-
tion) and all the side doors and back door
are closed. This function is the default
setting for new vehicles.
(b) Unlocking linked with the shift posi- tion
All the side doors and back door are un-
locked automatically when the automatic
transmission selector lever is moved to
the “P” position with the ignition switch in
the “ON” position.
(c) Locking linked with the vehicle speed
All the side doors and back door are
locked automatically when the vehicle
speed reaches 20 km/h (12 mph) or high-
er. However, if any of the side doors and
back door is unlocked during driving, this
auto locking function will not operate until
the unlocked door is opened once.
