WARNING
Improper use of power locks can result in serious personal injury.
ꢀ
The power locking button locks all doors. Locking the doors from the inside can help
prevent unintended door opening during a collision and can also prevent unwanted entry
from the outside. Locked doors can, however, delay assistance to vehicle occupants and
rescue from the outside in an accident or other emergency.
ꢀ
Never leave children or anyone who cannot help themselves behind in the vehicle. All
doors can be locked from the inside with the power lock button. This could leave people
trapped in the vehicle in an emergency. Depending on the time of year, people trapped in the
vehicle can be exposed to very high or very low temperatures.
ꢀ
A closed vehicle can become very hot or very cold, depending on the season. Particularly
in the summer, heat buildup in the passenger and luggage compartment of a parked vehicle
can result in temperatures in the vehicle that are much higher than the outside temperatures.
Temperatures can quickly reach levels that can cause unconsciousness and death, particu-
larly to small children.
ꢀ Never allow passengers to remain in a locked vehicle. In an emergency any person still
inside the vehicle might not be able to get out.
