Chevrolet Cruze Owners Manual: 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.
To lock or unlock a door from outside the vehicle, use the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter.
From inside the vehicle, use the power door lock switch or the manual lock knob. Pushing down the manual lock knob on the driver door will lock all doors.
The doors can also be unlocked from the inside by pulling the door handle. Pulling the door handle again unlatches the door.
