CAUTION
To avoid serious personal injury, you
must do the following. Always make sure the hands and
other parts of the body of all oc-
cupants are kept completely in-
side the vehicle before you close
the power quarter windows. If
someone’s hands get caught in a
closing window, it could result in
a serious injury. When anyone
closes the power quarter win-
dows, make sure he/she operates
the windows safely.
Never leave small children alone
in the vehicle, especially with the
ignition key still inserted. They
could use the power quarter win-
dow switch and get trapped in a
window. Unattended children can
be involved in serious accidents.

CAUTION
Keep the back door closed while
driving. This not only keeps the
luggage from being thrown out
but also prevents exhaust gases
from entering the vehicle.
If the open back door hides the
stop and tail lights, rear turn sig-
nal lights or rear retro reflectors
while you are parked, other road
users must be warned of the
presence of your vehicle by a
warning triangle or other device.

BACK DOOR CHILD−PROTECTOR
Move the lock lever to the ”LOCK”
position as shown on the label.
This feature allows you to lock a back
door so it can be opened from the outside
only, not from inside. We recommend us-
ing this feature whenever small children
are in the vehicle.
CAUTION
Before driving, be sure that the back
door is closed and locked, especially
when small children are in the ve-
hicle. Along with the proper use of
seat belts, locking the doors helps
prevent the driver and passengers
from being thrown out from the ve-
hicle during an accident. It also helps
prevent the doors from being opened
unintentionally.
Hood
To open the hood: 1. Pull the hood lock release lever. The hood will spring up slightly.
CAUTION
Before driving, be sure that the hood
is closed and securely locked. Other-
wise, the hood may open unexpected-
ly while driving and an accident may
occur.

down gently on the front edge to lock it. Theft deterrent systemTo deter the vehicle theft, the system
is designed to give an alarm if any of
the side doors, back door or hood is

tery terminal is disconnected and then

Electric moon roof
Sliding operation
Tilting operation To operate the moon roof, use the
switches beside the personal light.
The moon roof works when the ignition
switch is in the ”ON” position. However,
if both front doors are closed, it works for
45 seconds even after the ignition switch
is turned off. It stops working when any
of the side doors or back door is opened.

mm (1.4 in.) from the fully opened posi-
tion. When you push the switch again, the
moon roof will open fully. To stop the roof
partway, push the same switch or tilt
switch while the roof is moving.
As driving with the moon roof opened fully
will cause wind throbs, we recommend
you to drive with the moon roof partway
35 mm (1.4 in.) from the fully opened
position.
The sun shade will be opened together
with the roof.
To close: Push the switch on the front

moon roof stops and opens halfway if
something gets caught between the moon
roof and frame.
If an impact is given to the moon roof,
this function may work without anything
caught.
CAUTION
To avoid serious personal injury, you
must do the following. While the vehicle is moving, al-
ways keep the heads, hands and
other parts of the bodies of all
occupants away from the roof
opening. Otherwise, they could
be seriously injured if the vehicle
stops suddenly or if the vehicle
is involved in an accident.
Always make sure nobody places
his/her head, hands and other
parts of the body in the roof
opening before you close the
roof. If someone’s neck, head or
hands gets caught in the closing
roof, it could result in a serious
injury. When anyone closes the
roof, first make sure it is safe to
do so.
Never leave small children alone
in the vehicle, especially with the
ignition key still inserted. They
could use the moon roof
switches and get trapped in the
roof opening. Unattended chil-
dren can be involved in serious
accidents.
