rear seat, the rear doors of your vehicle have the child
protection door lock system.
To use the system, open each rear door and slide the
control UP to engage the locks and DOWN to disengagethe child protection locks. When the system on a door is
engaged, that door can only be opened by using the
outside door handle even if the inside door lock is in the
unlocked position.
WARNING!
Avoid trapping anyone in a vehicle in a collision.
Remember that the rear doors can only be opened
from the outside when the child protection locks are
engaged.
NOTE:

always test the door from the inside to make certain it
is in the desired position.
•For emergency exit with the system engaged, move
the door lock switch to the UNLOCK position, roll
down the window and open the door with the outside
door handle.Child Lock
