The power door lock switch can be reset
in the following ways.
Turn the ignition key to “ON”.
Unlock all the side doors and back
door with the key or wireless remote
control transmitter.
Unlock the driver’s door or front pas-
senger ’s door with the inside lock

REAR DOOR CHILDPROTECTORS
Move the lock lever to the “LOCK”
position as shown on the label.
When the child−protector is locked, you
cannot open the rear door by the inside
door handle. We recommend using 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.
