Door Locks
WARNING
Unlocked doors can be dangerous.
- Passengers, especially children, can easily open the doors and fall out of a
moving vehicle. The chance of being thrown out of the vehicle in a crash is
increased if the doors are not locked. So, all passengers should wear safety
belts properly and the doors should be locked whenever the vehicle is driven.
- Young children who get into unlocked vehicles may be unable to get out. A
child can be overcome by extreme heat and can suffer permanent injuries or even
death from heat stroke. Always lock the vehicle whenever leaving it.
- Outsiders can easily enter through an unlocked door when slowing or stopping
the vehicle. Lock the doors to help prevent this from happening.
