For security, locked doors can
prevent an outsider from
unexpectedly opening a door when
you come to a stop.
Your car has a door monitor light on
the instrument panel to indicate
when a specific door is not tightly
closed.
For safety, locking the doors reduces
thechancethatapassenger,
especially a child, will open a door
while the car is moving and
accidentally fall out. It also reduces
thechanceofsomeonebeingthrown
out of the car during a crash.
See page for how to lock the
doors.
After everyone has entered the car,
be sure the doors are closed and
locked.
These instructions also apply to
children who have outgrown child
seats and are large enough to wear
lap/shoulder belts. (See page for
important additional guidelines on
how to properly protect larger
children.)
The following pages provide
instructions on how to properly
protect the driver and other adult
occupants.
The rest of this section gives more
detailed information about how you
can maximize your safety.
Remember, however, that no safety
system can prevent all injuries or
deaths that can occur in severe
crashes, even when seat belts are
properly worn and the airbags deploy.
