REAR DOOR CHILD-PROTECTORS
Move the lock lever to the LOCKº
position as shown on the label.
This feature allows you to lock a rear door
so it can be opened from the outside only,
not from inside. We recommend using this feature whenever small children are in thevehicle.

CAUTION!
Before driving, be sure that the
doors are closed and locked, espe-
cially when small children are in the
vehicle. Along with the proper use
of seat belts, locking the doors
helps prevent the driver and pas-
sengers from being thrown out from
the vehicle during an accident. It
also helps prevent the doors from
being opened unintentionally.
The windows can be operated with the
switch on each side door.
The power windows work when the igni- tion switch is in the ONº position. Howev-
er, if both front side doors are closed, they work for 60 seconds even after the ignition
switch is turned off. They stop working
when either front side door is opened.

as long as you hold the switch.

To close: Pull up the switch.Automatic operation (to open only):

then rel ease it. The window will fully open.
To stop the window partway, lightly pull the

CAUTION!
To avoid serious personal injury,
you must do the following. Always make sure the head, hands
and other parts of the body of all
occupants are kept completely in-
side the vehicle before you close
the power windows. If someone's
neck, head or hands gets caught in
a closing window, it could result in
a serious injury. When anyone
closes the power windows, be sure
that they operate the windows
safely.
When small children are in the ve-
hicle, never let them use the power
window switches without supervi-
sion. Use the window lock button
to prevent them from making unex-
pected use of the switches.
Never leave small children alone in
the vehicle, especially with the
ignition key still inserted. They
could use the power window
switches and get trapped in a win-
dow. Unattended children can be- come involved in serious acci- dents.
