Door locks
WA R N I N GMake sure all doors are tightly closed and locked while driving.• Locked doors, in co
mbination with the
use of seat belts, can help reduce the riskof ejection in
an accident.
• Locked doors can help keep passengers, especially small children, from opening doors and falling out
of moving vehicles.
• Locked doors can help
prevent outsiders
from gaining access to your vehicle when you slow down or come to a stop.
 Lock your vehicle when
ever you leave it.
Children who get into
unlocked vehicles
may not be able to get out. Children trapped inside vehicles can quickly be overcome by heat
and suffer serious
injury or death due to heat stroke. Never leave children unattended inside a vehicle. In addition
to the risk of heat
stroke, children can activate switches and controls, resulting in an injury or fatalaccident.
