- To open a door, pull the door handle (3) outward.

Operate by pressing the central door lock switch.
- When pressing the front portion (1) of the switch, all vehicle doors will lock.

- If the key is in the ignition switch and any front door is opened, the doors will not lock even though the front portion (1) of the central door lock switch is pressed.
WARNING - Doors
The doors should always be fully closed and locked while the vehicle is in motion to prevent accidental opening of the door.
