Doors and Locks
Door Locks
{WARNING:
Unlocked doors can be dangerous.
.Passengers —especially children —can
easily open the doors and fall out of a moving
vehicle. When a door is locked it will not open.
You increase the chance of being thrown out
of the vehicle in a crash if the doors are not
locked. So, wear safety belts properly and
lock the doors whenever you drive.
.Young children who get into unlocked vehicles
may be unable to get out. A child can be
overcome by extreme heat and can suffer
permanent injuries or even death from heat
stroke. Always lock your vehicle whenever
you leave it.
.Outsiders can easily enter through an
unlocked door when you slow down or stop
your vehicle. Locking your doors can help
prevent this from happening.
