Dodge 2011 Dakota - Manual (Page 30)

WARNING!
• For personal security and safety in the event of an
accident, lock the vehicle doors as you drive, as
well as when you park and leave the vehicle.
• Never leave children alone in a vehicle. Leaving
unattended children in a vehicle is dangerous for a
number of reasons. A child or others could be
seriously or fatally injured. Don’t leave the key in
the ignition. A child could operate power win-
dows, other controls, or move the vehicle.
Power Door Locks
A power door lock switch is on each front door trim
panel. Use this switch to lock or unlock the doors.
If you press the power door LOCK switch while the key is
in the ignition, and any front door is open, the power locks
will not operate. This prevents you from accidentally
locking your keys in the vehicle. Removing the key, or
closing the door, will allow the locks to operate. A chime
will sound if the key is in the ignition switch and the
driver’s door is open, as a reminder to remove the key.
