NOTE
Make sure that you do not leave the key inside the
vehicle when locking the doors from the outside
without the key. „Locking and unlocking from the inside
1) Lock
2) Unlock
To lock the door from the inside, rotate the lock lever
rearward. To unlock the door from the inside, rotate
the lock lever forward.

Always make sure that all doors and the rear gate (for

ly when small children are in your vehicle.
Along with the proper use of seatbelts and child
restraints, locking the doors reduces the
chance of being thrown out of the vehicle in an
accident.
It also helps prevent passengers from falling
out if a door is accidentally opened, and intrud-
ers from unexpectedly opening doors and en-
tering your vehicle.
