Impact sensing door unlock sys-
tem (if equipped)
All doors will be automatically unlocked
when the Supplemental Restraint
System (SRS) detects a collision while
the ignition switch is ON.
However, the doors may not be unlocked,
if electrical power in the vehicle should
fail.

The child safety lock is provided to help
prevent children from accidentally open-

The rear door safety locks should be
used whenever children are in the vehi-
cle.

2. Push the child safety lock located on
the rear edge of the door to the “lock”
position. When the child safety lock is
in the “lock (

WARNING - Unlocked
vehicles
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.
WARNING - Unattended
children
An enclosed vehicle can become
extremely hot, causing death or
severe injury to unattended chil-
dren or animals who cannot escape
the vehicle. Furthermore, children
might operate features of the vehi-
cle that could injure them, or they
could encounter other harm, possi-
bly from someone gaining entry to
the vehicle. Never leave children or
animals unattended in your vehicle.
