LOCK
!WARNING:
o Unlocked doors can be danger- ous. Before you drive away (es- pecially if there are children inthe car), be sure that all the doors are securely closed and locked so that the doors cannot be inad-vertently opened from the inside. This helps ensure that doors will not be opened accidentally. Also,when combined with the proper use of seat belts, locking the doors helps keep occupants frombeing ejected from the car in case of an accident.
o Before opening the door, always look for and avoid oncoming traf-fic. o The door can be locked or unlocked
with a key.
o Lock the door by turning the key toward the front of the vehicle andunlock it by turning the key toward the rear. B040C01FC-GAT Locking From the Outside

This is normal. (If installed) NOTE:

WARNING:
To minimize risk of severe injury inthe event of a collision or a sudden stop, both the driver and passen- ger seatbacks should always be in an upright position while the ve-hicle is in motion.

There is greater risk that the driver and passenger will slide under theseat belt which may result in seri- ous injury if a crash occurs when the seatbacks are reclined. The seatbelt cannot provide full protection to an occupant if the seat back is reclined.
!
o Do not operate the vehicle with the headrests removed as severe injury to an occupant may occur in the event of an accident. Head- rests may provide protectionagainst severe neck injuries when properly adjusted.
!WARNING:
