Door Locks

• Passengers, especially children, can easily open the doors and fall out of a moving vehicle. Doors can be unlocked and opened while the vehicle is moving. The chance of being thrown from the vehicle in a crash increases if the doors are not locked. Therefore, all passengers should wear seat belts properly and doors should be locked whenever the vehicle is driven.
• Small children who get into unlocked vehicles may not be able to get out. A child can be overcome by strong heat and suffer permanent injury or even death from heat stroke. Always lock the vehicle whenever you leave it.
• Intruders can easily enter through an unlocked door when you slow down or stop the vehicle. Locking the doors can help prevent this from happening.
