Doors
WARNING
• Always have the doors locked while
driving. Along with the use of seat
belts, this provides greater safety in
the event of an accident by helping
to prevent persons from being
thrown from the vehicle. This also
helps keep children and others from
unintentionally opening the doors,
and will help keep out intruders.
• Before opening any door, always
look for and avoid oncoming traffic.
• Do not leave children unattended
inside the vehicle. They could unknowingly
activate switches or controls.
Unattended children could become involved in serious accidents.
