Passengers, especially
children, can easily open
the doors and fall out of a
moving vehicle. When a
door is locked, the handle
will not open it. The chance
of being thrown out of the
vehicle in a crash is increased
if the doors are not locked.

wear safety belts properly
and the doors should be
locked whenever the vehicle
is driven.

injuries or even death from
heat stroke. Always lock the
vehicle whenever leaving it.

through an unlocked door
when you slow down or stop
your vehicle. Locking your
doors can help prevent this
from happening.

key from the outside or the door lock
from the inside.
