• To lock a door, push the door lock button (1) to the “Lock” position. If the door is locked properly, the red mark (2) on the door lock button will not be visible.
• To open a door, pull the door handle (3) outward.
• If the inner door handle of the driver’s (or front passenger’s) door is pulled when the door lock button is in the lock position, the button is unlocked and door opens.
• Doors cannot be locked if the Smart Key is in the vehicle and any door is open.

✽ NOTICE

If a power door lock ever fails to function while you are in the vehicle try one or more of the following techniques to exit: Operate the door unlock feature repeatedly (both electronic and manual) while simultaneously pulling on the door handle. Operate the other door locks and handles, front and rear. Lower a front window and use the mechanical key to unlock the door from outside.

With the Central Door Lock Switch:

• When pressing the right portion (1) for the driver or the left portion (3) of the switch for the front passenger, all vehicle doors will lock.
• When pressing the left portion (2) for the driver or the right portion (4) of the switch for the front passenger, all vehicle doors will unlock.
• If the smart key is in the vehicle and any door is opened, the doors will not lock even though the lock button (1) or (3) of the central door lock switch is pressed.

WARNING

The doors should always be fully closed and locked while the vehicle is in motion. If the doors are unlocked, the risk of being thrown from the vehicle in a crash is increased.

WARNING

Do not leave children or animals unattended in your vehicle. An enclosed vehicle can become extremely hot, causing death or serious injury to unattended children or animals who cannot escape the vehicle. 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.

WARNING

Opening a door when something is approaching may cause damage or injury. Be careful when opening doors and watch for vehicles, motorcycles, bicycles or pedestrians approaching the vehicle in the path of the door.

WARNING

Always secure your vehicle. Leaving your vehicle unlocked increases the potential risk to you or others from someone hiding in your vehicle. To secure your vehicle, while depressing the brake, move the shift lever to the P (Park) position, engage the Parking Brake, and press the Engine Start/Stop Button to the OFF position, close all windows, lock all doors, and always take the Smart Key with you.
