The central door locking switch is located on the driver’s arm rest. It is operated by depressing the door lock switch. If any door is open when the switch is depressed, the door will remain locked when closed.
NOTICE
- When pushing the front portion of the driver’s door lock switch, all vehicle doors will lock.
- When pushing the rear portion of the switch, all vehicle doors will unlock.
WARNING
Leaving your vehicle unlocked can invite theft or possible harm to you or others from someone hiding in your vehicle while you are gone. Always remove the ignition key, engage the parking brake, close all windows and lock all doors when leaving your vehicle unattended.
The door ajar warning light will illuminate when a door is not fully closed. Close the door completely and the light will go out.
WARNING - Unattended Children
An enclosed vehicle can become extremely hot, causing death or severe injury to unattended children or animals who cannot escape the vehicle. Furthermore, children might operate features of the vehicle that could injure them, or they could encounter other harm, possibly from someone gaining entry to the vehicle. Never leave children or animals unattended in your vehicle.
CAUTION
The doors should always be fully closed and locked while the vehicle is in motion to prevent accidental opening of the door. Locked doors will also discourage potential intruders when the vehicle stops or slows.
