WARNING

Door lock malfunction

If a power door lock ever fails to function while 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) while 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.

WARNING

Do not pull the inner door handle of driver's (or passenger's) door while the vehicle is moving.

CAUTION

Do not frequently repeat opening and closing of doors, or apply excessive force to a door while the door closer is operating.

With central door lock/unlock button

Operate by pressing the central door lock/unlock button.

  • When pressing door lock button (2), all vehicle doors will lock.

  • When pressing the door unlock button(1), all vehicle doors will unlock.

  • If the key is in the ignition switch (or if the smart key is in the vehicle) and any door is opened, the doors will not lock even though the door lock button (2) for driver side of the central door lock switch is pressed.

WARNING

Doors

  • The doors should always be fully closed and locked while 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.

WARNING

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 while you are gone. Always remove the ignition key, engage the parking brake, close all windows and lock all doors when leaving your vehicle unattended.

WARNING

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 windshield. 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.
