LOCKING  
POWER DOOR LOCK SWITCH  
AND  
UNLOCKING  
WITH  
CAUTION  
Push the switch.  
Before driving, be sure that the doors  
are closed and locked, especially  
when small children are in the ve-  
hicle. Along with the proper use of  
seat belts, locking the doors helps  
prevent the driver and passengers  
from being thrown out from the ve-  
hicle in an accident. It also helps pre-  
vent the doors from being opened  
unintentionally.  
To lock: Push the switch down on the  
right side.  
To unlock: Push the switch down on the  
left side.  
Operating the switch simultaneously locks  
or unlocks all the side doors and back  
door.  
If you do either of the following, no door  
can be unlocked with the power door lock  
switch.  
REAR DOOR CHILD−PROTECTORS  
D Lock all the doors with the key or wire-  
less remote control when all the doors  
are closed.  
Move the lock lever to the “LOCK”  
position as shown on the label.  
When the childprotector is locked, you  
cannot open the rear door by the inside  
door handle. We recommend using this  
feature whenever small children are in the  
vehicle.  
D Open the driver’s door and move the  
inside lock knobs to the lock position,  
then close the door.  
The power door lock switch can be reset  
in the following ways.  
D Turn the ignition key to “ON”.

wireless remote control.  
D Unlock the driver’s door with the inside  
lock knob, and then unlock all the
