Locking with inside lock button

Lock Unlock
Push in the lock button to lock and unlock the door.
When locked, the door cannot be opened with either the
outside or inside door handle.
Closing the door with the lock button pushed in will also lock
the door. Be careful not to lock your keys in the vehicle. The
door will not lock if the key is left in the ignition switch when
closing the front doors.
CAUTION!
Before driving, make sure the doors are closed and
locked, especially when small children are in the
vehicle. Along with the proper use of seat belts,
locking the doors helps prevent the driver and
passengers from being thrown out from the vehicle
during an accident. It also helps prevent the doors
from being opened unintentionally.
Locking with power door lock switch

Lock Unlock
To lock all the doors simultaneously, push the power
door lock switch on the front side. Pushing on the rear
side will unlock them.
The same switch is also equipped on the front passenger's
side.
