Honda CR-V: 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.
