ꢀPlease first read and note the introductory information and heed the WARNINGS

The child safety lock keeps the rear doors from being opened from the inside, so that children cannot

open them accidentally. When the child safety lock is engaged, the rear doors can only be opened

from the outside.

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 build-up 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,

particularly to small children.
