CHILD-PROTECTION DOOR LOCK
S
YSTEM REAR DOORS
To provide a safer environment for small children riding in
the rear seats, the rear doors are equipped with a
Child-Protection Door Lock system.
To use the system, open each rear door, temporarily
remove the sealing plug for access, and use a flat-blade
screwdriver (or mechanical key) to rotate the dial to the
lock or unlock position.
Child-Protection Door Lock Location
NOTE:
When the Child-Protection Door Lock system is
engaged, the door can be opened only by using the
outside door handle, even though the inside door lock
is in the unlocked position.
After disengaging the Child-Protection Door Lock
system, always test the door from the inside to make
certain it is in the unlocked position.
After engaging the Child-Protection Door Lock system,
always test the door from the inside to make certain it
is in the locked position.
For emergency exit with the system engaged, move the
lock lever rearward (located on the door trim panel),
lower the window and open the door with the outside
door handle.
NOTE:
Always use this device when carrying children. After
engaging the child lock on both rear doors, check for
effective engagement by trying to open a door with the
internal handle. Once the Child-Protection Door Lock
system is engaged, it is impossible to open the doors from
inside the vehicle. Before getting out of the vehicle, be
sure to check that there is no one left inside.
