Vehicle care I I irechnical data

Opening and closing
• If the driver 's door is opened (after you have locked the vehicle
from the inside using the power locking switch), the door will
remain unlocked to prevent you from locking yourself out of your
vehicle. After you close the door, you have to lock the driver 's door
again.
• If you have a crash and the airbag is activated, the doors auto ­
matically unlock .
& WARNING
• If you use the power locking switch with the doors closed,
remember that all the vehicle doors will lock.
• Locking doors from the inside can help prevent inadvertent
door opening during an accident and can also prevent unwanted
entry from the outside . Locked doors can, however, delay assis­
tance to vehicle occupants and hold up rescue efforts from the outside in an accident or other emergency. •
Emergency locking
If the power locking system fails (power failure), you will
need to lock the passenger door separately.
