Door Locks
Unlocked doors can be dangerous.
Passengers
-- especially children -- can easily
open the doors and
fall out. When a door is
locked, the inside handle won’t open it.
Outsiders can easily enter through an unlocked
door when you slow down or stop your vehicle.
This may not be
so obvious: You increase the
chance of being thrown out of the vehicle in
a
crash if the doors aren’t locked. Wear safety belts
properly, lock your doors, and you will be
far
better off whenever you drive your vehicle. There
are several ways
to lock and unlock your vehicle.
From the outside, use your door key or Remote Keyless
Entry,
if your vehicle has this option.
To lock the door from the
inside, slide the lock control
lever down.
To unlock the door, slide the
lock control lever up.

Remote Trunk Release Lockout
The remote trunk release
lockout switch in the glove
box allows you to secure
items
in the trunk. Move the
trunk release lockout switch
to off, lock the glove
box
and take the key with you.
Now the remote TRUNK
release to the left
of the
steering column will not
open the trunk.
To allow the remote TRUNK release switch to the left of
the steering column to operate again, move the trunk
release lockout switch
to on.
Trunk Security Override
The optional Remote Keyless Entry transmitter will
open the trunk even if the trunk release lockout switch
is in the off position. It can
be dangerous to drive with the trunk lid
open because carbon monoxide (CO) gas can
come into your vehicle. You can’t see
or smell
CO.
It can cause unconsciousness and even death.
If you must drive with the trunk lid open or if
electrical wiring or other cable connections must
pass through the seal between the body and the
trunk lid:
Make sure all windows are shut.
0 Wrn the fan on your heating or cooling
system to its highest speed with the setting
on any airflow selection except RECIRC.
That will force outside air into your vehicle.
See “Comfort Controls” in the Index.
0 If you have air outlets on or under the
instrument panel, open them all the way.
See “Engine Exhaust” in the Index.
