The child safety lock is provided to help
prevent children seated in the rear from
accidentally opening the rear doors.
The rear door safety locks should be used
whenever children are in the vehicle.
The child safety lock is located on the
edge of each rear door. When the child
safety lock is in the lock position, the
rear door will not open if the inner door
handle is pulled.
To lock the child safety lock, insert a key

it to the lock position.
To allow a rear door to be opened from
inside the vehicle, unlock the child safety
lock.

doors while the vehicle is in motion,
they could fall out of the vehicle. The
rear door safety locks should always
be used whenever children are in the
vehicle.
