The child safety lock is provided to help prevent chil-
dren from accidentally opening the rear doors from
inside the vehicle.
• To lock a rear door so that it cannot be opened from
the inside, push the child safety lock located on the
rear edge of the door to the “LOCK” position
(toward front of vehicle) before closing the door.
• To open a rear door while the child safety lock is
engaged, lift the outside door handle.
WARNING - Rear Door Locks
If children accidentally open the rear doors
while the vehicle is in motion, they could fall
out and be seriously or fatally injured. To pre-
vent children from opening the rear doors
from the inside, the rear door safety locks
should be used whenever children are in the
vehicle.
