Central Lock/Unlock (Switch Safe Lock Device) —
If Equipped
This safety device prevents the operation of the interior
door handles and the door locking/unlocking button.
It prevents the opening of the doors from inside the
passenger compartment, serving as an obstacle to break-in
attempts (e.g. broken window).
We recommend that you activate the Safe Lock device each
time you park your car.Activating The Safe Lock Device
The Safe Lock device is enabled on all the doors by quickly
double-pushing the lock button on the key fob.
The direction indicators flash three times and the LED
above the button flashes to indicate that the Safe Lock
device has been activated. If one or more of the doors are
not closed correctly, the Safe Lock device will not activate,
preventing a person from getting stuck inside the passen-
ger compartment by entering the car through, and then
closing, the open door.
Deactivating The Safe Lock Device
The Safe Lock device deactivates automatically:
1. By pushing the unlock button on the key fob.
2. By turning the ignition key to the MAR position.
