& Locking and unlocking from

the inside

WARNING

Keep all doors locked when you

drive, especially when small chil-

dren are in your vehicle.

Along with the proper use of seat-

belts and child restraints, locking

the doors reduces the chance of

being thrown out of the vehicle in an

accident.

It also helps prevent passengers

from falling out by preventing a door

from being accidentally opened, and

intruders from unexpectedly open-

ing doors and entering your vehicle.

1) Lock

2) Unlock

To lock the door from the inside, rotate the

lock lever rearward. To unlock the door

from the inside, rotate the lock lever

forward.

The red mark on the lock lever appears

when the door is unlocked.

Pull the inside door handle to open an

unlocked door.

Always make sure that all doors and the

rear gate (Outback) are closed before

starting to drive.
