Door lock malfunction
If a power door lock ever fails to function whilst you are in the vehicle, try one or more of the following techniques to exit:
-
Operate the door unlock feature repeatedly (both electronic and manual) whilst simultaneously pulling on the door handle.
-
Operate the other door locks and handles, front and rear.
-
Lower a front window and use the key to unlock the door from outside.
-
Move to the cargo area and open the tailgate.
Do not pull the inner door handle of driver's (or passenger's) door whilst the vehicle is moving.
With central door lock/unlock switch
It is operated by pressing the door lock/unlock switch.
-
When you press the central door lock switch, all vehicle doors will lock and the indicator light on the switch will illuminate.
-
If any front door is opened when the switch is pressed, all doors will not lock.
-
If any door is unlocked, the indicator of the central door lock switch will go off.
-
When you press the central door unlock switch, all vehicle doors will unlock.
-
If one of the door is unlocked whilst all doors are locked, the indicator will blink.
Once the doors are locked with the transmitter or smart key, the doors cannot be unlocked with the central door lock/ unlock switch.
Doors
-
The doors should always be fully closed and locked whilst the vehicle is in motion to prevent accidental opening of the door. Locked doors will also discourage potential intruders when the vehicle stops or slows down.
-
Be careful when opening doors and watch out for vehicles, motorcycles, bicycles or pedestrians approaching the vehicle in the path of the door. Opening a door when something is approaching can result in an accident to cause vehicle damage or serious injury.
Unlocked vehicles
Leaving your vehicle unlocked can increase the risk of vehicle theft or any possible criminal harm caused by someone hiding in your vehicle whilst you are gone. Always remove the ignition key, engage the parking brake, close all windows and lock all doors when leaving your vehicle unattended.
Unattended children, the elderly or pets
An enclosed vehicle can become extremely hot, causing death or severe injury such as heatstroke to unattended children, the elderly or pets who cannot escape the vehicle. When left or trapped in a hot vehicle, make sure to stay hydrated and avoid sun exposure through the vehicle’s windscreen. Furthermore, children might operate features of the vehicle that could injure them, or they could encounter other harm, possibly from someone gaining entry to the vehicle. Never leave children or animals unattended in your vehicle.
