NOTE
Should the rear gate be unable to be
unlocked due to a discharged battery,
a fault in the door locking/unlocking
system or other causes, you can un-
lock it by manually operating the rear
gate lock release lever.
For the procedure, refer to “Rear gate
(Station wagon) – if the rear gate can-
not be unlocked” section in chapter 9.
Moonroof (if equipped)
The moonroof has both tilting and sliding
functions.
The moonroofs operate only when the ig-
nition switch is in the “ON” position.
y
Do not jam a plastic bag in or
place cellophane tape on the rear
gate stays or scratch the stays
while loading or unloading cargo.
That could cause leakage of gas
from the stays, which may result
in their inability to hold the rear
gate open.
y Be careful not to hit your head or
face on the rear gate when open-
ing or closing the rear gate and
when loading or unloading cargo.
yNever let anyone’s hands, arms,
head or any objects protrude from
the moonroof. A person could be
seriously injured if the vehicle
stops suddenly or turns sharply
or if the vehicle is involved in an
accident.
To avoid serious personal injury
caused by entrapment, you must
do the following.
yBefore closing the moonroof,
make sure that no one’s hands,
arms, head or other objects will be
accidentally caught in the moon- roof.
yBefore leaving the vehicle, always
remove the key from the ignition
switch for safety and never allow
an unattended child to remain in
the vehicle. Failure to follow this
procedure could result in injury to
a child operating the moonroof.
y Never try to check the anti-entrap-
ment function by deliberately
placing part of your body in the moonroof.
yDo not sit on the edge of the open
moonroof.
y Do not operate the moonroof if
falling snow or extremely cold
conditions have caused it to
freeze shut.
y The anti-entra pment function
does not operate when the moon-
roof is being tilted down. Be sure
to confirm that it is safe to do so
before tilting the moonroof down.

When the moonroof senses an object
trapped between its glass and the vehi-
cle’s roof during clos ure, it automatically
moves back to either of the following posi-
tions according to the point at which it
senses the object:y When the moonroof senses the object
at a point between the halfway stop posi-
tion and fully closed position, it moves
back to the halfway stop position and
stops there. y When the moonroof senses the object
at a point between the halfway stop posi-
tion and fully open position, it moves back
to the fully open posit ion and stops there.
The anti-entrapment function may also be
activated by a strong shock on the moon-
roof even when there is nothing trapped.

mended that you avoid driving with the
moonroof fully opened. y Driving with the moonroof fully open
can cause an annoying sound to gen-

Instruments and controlsIgnition switch
The ignition switch has four positions:
LOCK, ACC, ON and START.
NOTE yKeep the ignition switch in the
“LOCK” position when the engine is
not running. y Using electrical accessories for a
long time with the igni tion switch in the
“ON” or “ACC” posi tion can cause the
battery to go dead.
If the ignition switch will not move from
the “LOCK” position to the “ACC” po-
sition, turn the steering wheel slightlyto the left and right as you turn the ig-
nition switch. y If the key is attached to a keyholder
or to a large bunch of other keys, cen-
trifugal force may act on it as the vehi-
cle moves, resulting in unwanted turn-
ing of the ignition switch. Also, if a
large keyholder is attached to the key, your knees or hands may accidentally
touch it in a way that turns the ignition
switch. „
LOCK
The key can only be inserted or removed
in this position. The ignition switch will lock
the steering wheel when you remove the key.
If turning the key is di fficult, turn the steer-
ing wheel slightly to the right and left as
you turn the key. T Automatic transmission vehicles
The key can be turned from “ACC” to
“LOCK” only when the selector lever is in
the “P” position.
y Never turn the ignition switch to
“LOCK” while the vehicle is being
driven or towed because that will
lock the steering wheel, prevent-
ing steering control. And when
the engine is turned off, it takes a
much greater effort than usual to
steer.
y Before leaving th e vehicle, always
remove the key from the ignition
switch for safety and never allow
an unattended child to remain in
the vehicle. Failure to follow this
procedure could result in injury to
a child or others. Children could
operate the power windows, the
sunroof or other controls or even
make the vehicle move.
