Operating door locks from outside the vehicle

Turn the key toward rear of vehicle to lock (1) and toward front of vehicle to unlock (2).

Once the doors are unlocked, it may be opened by pulling the door handle.

Always remove the ignition key, engage the parking brake, close all windows and lock all doors when leaving your vehicle unattended.
-
In cold and wet climates, door lock and door mechanisms may not work properly due to freezing conditions.
-
If the door is locked/unlocked multiple times in rapid succession with either the vehicle key or door lock switch, the system may stop operating temporarily in order to protect the circuit and prevent damage to system components.
-
If you don’t close the door securely, the door may open again.
-
Be careful that someone’s body and hands are not trapped when closing the door.
If people must spend a longer time in the vehicle while it is very hot or cold outside, there is risk of injuries or danger to life. Do not lock the vehicle from the outside when there are people in it.
Do not frequently repeat opening and closing of doors, or apply excessive force to a door while the door closer is operating.
