If you push in the window lock switch on
the driver ’s door, the rear window cannot
be operated.
CAUTION
To avoid serious personal injury, you
must do the following.
Before you close the power rear
window, always make sure there is
nobody around the power rear win-
dow. You must also make sure the
heads, hands and other parts of the
bodies of all occupants are kept
completely inside the vehicle. If
someone’s neck, head or hands get
caught in a closing window, it
could result in a serious injury.
When anyone closes the power rear
window, make sure he or she oper-
ates the window safely.
When small children are in the ve-
hicle, never let them use the power
rear window switch without supervi-
sion.
Be sure to remove the ignition key
when you leave your vehicle.
Never leave anyone (particularly a
small child) alone in your vehicle,
especially with the ignition key still
inserted. Otherwise, he/she could
use the power back window switch
and get trapped in a window. Unat-
tended person (particularly a small
child) can be involved in a serious
accident.
Keep the rear window closed while
driving. This not only keeps the
luggage from being thrown out but
also prevents exhaust gases from
entering the vehicle.
OPENING
To open the tailgate, pull the handle up.
The support cables will hold the tailgate
horizontal.
See “—Stowage precautions” in Section 2
for precautions when loading luggage.
After closing the tailgate, try pulling and
pushing it to make sure it is securely
closed.
NOTICE
Avoid driving with the tailgate open.

TVIP is a theft deterrent system. If
someone attempts to damage or break
into your vehicle, the system sounds
the alarm while flashing the lights.SETTING THE SYSTEM
You can set the system as follows.
1. Remove the key from the ignition switch.
2. Have all passengers get out of the vehicle.
3. Close all the doors securely.
4. Lock all the doors with the key or re- mote keyless entry transmitter. At this
time, the TVIP indicator light comes
on.
The system will be set in 30 seconds.
When the system is set, the indicator
light will start to flash. 5. Make sure that the indicator light
flashes. Then you may leave the ve-
hicle.
Never leave anyone in the vehicle when
you set the system because unlocking
from the inside activates the alarm.
Activating the alarm
If the system detects a threat to the
vehicle, blows the horn intermittently
for one minute while flashing head-
lights, tail lights and front side marker
lights, and turns on the interior light.
The system detects a threat under any of
the following conditions:
Either of the front doors is unlocked by
means other than the key or remote
keyless entry transmitter.
If the key is not in the ignition switch,
all the doors will be automatically
locked again.
Any door is forcibly opened.
The side windows are tapped or bro-
ken.
The battery terminal is disconnected
and then reconnected.
The ignition is hotwired.

CAUTION
Persons should ride in their seats
properly wearing their seat belts
whenever the vehicle is moving.
Otherwise, they are much more likely
to suffer serious bodily injury or
death in the event of sudden braking
or a collision.
When using the seat belts, observe
the following:
Use the belt for only one person at
a time. Do not use a single belt for
two or more people—even children.
To reduce the risk of sliding under
the lap belt during a collision,
avoid reclining the seatback any
more than needed. The seat belts
provide maximum protection in a
frontal or rear collision when the
driver and the front passenger are
sitting up straight and well back in
the seats. If you are reclined, the
lap belt may slide past your hips
and apply restraint forces directly
to the abdomen. In the event of a
frontal collision, the more the seat
is reclined, the greater the risk of
personal injury.
Be careful not to damage the belt
webbing or hardware. Take care that
they do not get caught or pinched
in the seat or side doors.
Inspect the belt system periodically.
Check for cuts, fraying, and loose
parts. Damaged parts should be re-
placed. Do not disassemble or
modify the system.
Keep the belts clean and dry. If
they need cleaning, use a mild soap
solution or lukewarm water. Never
use bleach, dye, or abrasive clean-
ers, or allow them to come into
contact with the belt—they may se-
verely weaken the belts. (See
“Cleaning the interior” in Section
5.)
Replace the belt assembly (includ-
ing bolts) if it has been used in a
severe impact. The entire assembly
should be replaced even if damage
is not obvious.
Ta b
Buckle
Adjust the seat as needed and sit up
straight and well back in the seat. To
fasten your belt, pull it out of the re-
tractor and insert the tab into the
buckle.
You will hear a click when the tab locks
into the buckle.
The seat belt length automatically adjusts
to your size and the seat position.
The retractor will lock the belt during a
sudden stop or on impact. It also may
lock if you lean forward too quickly. A
slow, easy motion will allow the belt to
extend, and you can move around freely. —Fastening front outside seat belts
