30 GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
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 car, be sure to
check that there is no one left inside.
FRONT DOOR REMOVAL
Door Removal Warning Label
Outside rearview mirrors are mounted on the
doors. If you choose to remove the doors, see an
authorized dealer for a replacement cowl-mounted
outside mirror. Federal law requires outside
mirrors on vehicles for on-road use.
NOTE:
Doors are heavy; use caution when removing
them.
Hinge pin can break if overtightened during door
reinstall (Max Torque: 7.5 ft· lb / 10 N·m). For
off-road driving tips, see Ú page 210.
When front doors are removed, the message “Blind
Spot Alert Temporarily Unavailable” will display in
the instrument cluster display. Power Mirrors and
Power Door Locks will also be unavailable.
To remove the front doors, proceed as follows:
1. Roll down the glass window to prevent any
damage.
2. Remove the hinge pin screws from the upper
and lower outside hinges (using a #T50 Torx
head driver).
NOTE:
The hinge pin screws and nuts can be stowed in
the rear cargo tray located under the rear load
floor.

WARNING!
Avoid trapping anyone in a vehicle in a collision.
Remember that the rear doors can only be
opened from the outside when the
Child-Protection locks are engaged (locked).
WARNING!
Do not drive your vehicle on public roads with
the doors removed as you will lose the
protection they can provide. This procedure is
furnished for use during off-road operation only.
WARNING!
All occupants must wear seat belts during
off-road operation with doors removed. For
off-road driving tips, see Ú page 210.
Do not store detached doors inside of the
vehicle, as they may cause personal injury in
the event of an accident.
