• Operate the other door locks and

handles.

• Lower the driver’s window and use

the key to unlock the door from

outside.

• Move to the cargo area and open

the tailgate.

• The doors should always be fully

closed and locked while the vehicle

opening of the door. Locked doors

will also discourage potential in‐

truders when the vehicle stops or

slows down.

• Be careful when opening doors and

watch for vehicles, motorcycles,

bicycles or pedestrians approach‐

ing the vehicle in the path of the

door. Opening a door when some‐

thing is approaching can cause

damage or injury.
