WARNING  
When the child safety lock is engaged, that rear door cannot be opened from the inside.  
Never leave children, disabled persons, or anyone who cannot help themselves, in the  
vehicle when locking the doors. This could result in people being locked in the vehicle. This  
could result in people being 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.
