To lock the door from the outside using the power door locking switch, press the front side of the switch (“LOCK” side) and then close the door.

NOTE Keep all doors locked when you drive, especially when small chil- dren are in your vehicle. Along with the proper use of seat- belts and child restraints, locking the doors reduces the chance of being thrown out of the vehicle in an accident. It also helps prevent passengers from falling out by preventing a door from being accidentally opened, and intruders from unexpectedly open- ing doors and entering your vehicle. 1) 2) Lock Unlock To lock the door from the inside, rotate the lock lever rearward.
