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 inside 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 vehicle, never let
them use the power window switches without
supervision. Use the ºWINDOW LOCKº switch to
prevent them from making unexpected 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 window. Unattended children can
become involved in serious accidents.EMERGENCY FLASHER
