run down, the back door will be automati-
cally locked and the back door system
may not work after you reconnect, replace
or recharge the 12 volt battery. In any of
these cases, normalize the back door sys-
tem by following procedure.

If the window receives a strong impact,
this function may work even if nothing is
caught. If the 12 volt battery is disconnected or
run down,
the power window may not

body to activate the jam protection
function intentionally, as it could re-
sult in death or serious injury.
The jam protection function may
not work if something gets caught
just before the window is fully
closed.

its clip before closing the hood. Clos-
ing the hood with the support rod
inserted into the slot could cause the
hood to bend.

Make sure the shoulder belt pass
through the guide when returning the
seatback up.

is off the guide, the air vent for cooling
the hybrid battery may be blocked by the
belt. If the hybrid battery cannot be
cooled, the output performance is limited,
reducing the driving performance.
