OPERATING THE PASSENGERS’
WINDOWS
Use the switch on each passenger ’s
door or the switches on the driver ’s
door that control each passenger ’s win-
dow.
The window moves as long as you hold
the switch.
To open: Push down the switch.
To close: Pull up the switch.

CAUTION
To avoid serious personal injury, you
must do the following.
Before you close the power win-
dows, always make sure there is
nobody around the power windows.
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 death or serious in-
jury. When anyone closes the power
windows, make sure he or she op-
erates 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 switch to
prevent them from making unex-
pected use of the switches.

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 window switches and
get trapped in a window. Unat-
tended person (particularly a small
child) can be involved in a serious
accident.
LOCKING AND UNLOCKING WITH KEY
Insert the key into the keyhole and turn
it.
To lock: Turn the key clockwise.
If you turn the key fully clockwise, the
glass hatch will open. (See “Glass hatch”
on page 27 in this Section.)
To unlock: Turn the key counterclockwise.
To open the back door, pull the lock re-
lease lever.
Operating the power door lock switch or
wireless remote control transmitter simul-
taneously locks or unlocks the back door.
(See “—Locking and unlocking doors” on
page 17 and “Side doors” on page 20 in
this Section.)When closing the back door, the inside
handle can be used to make the reach
easier.
To close the back door, lower it and press
down on it. After closing the back door,
try pulling it up to make sure it is secure-
ly closed.
See “—Stowage precautions” on page 207

means other than the key or wireless
remote control transmitter.

all the side doors and back door will
be automatically locked again.

door is unlocked with a key. Cancel the
system before unlocking the back door.
The side windows are tapped or bro-
ken.
The battery terminal is disconnected
and then reconnected.
The ignition is hotwired.
After one minute, the alarm automatically
stops and the indicator light starts flashing
again.

system automatically resets the alarm af-
ter the alarm has stopped.

same circumstances described in “Activat-
ing the alarm”.
