Honda CR-V: Close and Lock the Doors.
Honda CR-V (2006–2011) Owner's Manual / Driver and Passenger Safety / Protecting Adults and Teens / Close and Lock the Doors.
After everyone has entered the vehicle, be sure the doors and the tailgate are closed and locked.
Your vehicle has a door and tailgate open indicator on the instrument panel to indicate when a specific door or the tailgate is not tightly closed.
Locking the doors reduces the chance of someone being thrown out of the vehicle during a crash, and it helps prevent passengers from accidentally opening a door and falling out.
Locking the doors also helps prevent an outsider from unexpectedly opening a door when you come to a stop.
See page for how to lock the doors, and page for how the door and tailgate open indicator works.
Your vehicle has the auto door locking/unlocking feature.
