• To lock a door, push the door lock button (1) to the “Lock” position. If the door is locked properly, the red mark on the door lock button will not show.
• To open a door, pull the door handle (2) outward.
• If the inner door handle of the front door is pulled when the door lock button is in the lock position, the button will unlock and the door will open.
