REAR DOOR CHILDPROTECTORS
Move the lock lever to the “LOCK”
position as shown on the label.
When the child−protector is locked, you
cannot open the rear door by the inside
door handle. We recommend using this
feature whenever small children are in the
vehicle.
CAUTION
Before driving, be sure that the doors
are 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 in an accident. It also helps pre-
vent the doors from being opened
unintentionally.

gage.
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.
CAUTION
Keep the back door closed while driv-
ing. This not only keeps the luggage
from being thrown out, but also pre-
vents exhaust gases from entering
the vehicle.
If the 12 volt battery is disconnected or
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.
1. Unlock the back door with the remote control key or power door lock switch.
2. Close the back door completely by hand.

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 that he or she
operates 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.
Turn the hybrid system “OFF” and
take the key with you, when you
leave your vehicle.

Before closing the hood, check to see that
you have not forgotten any tools, rags,

After inserting the support rod into
the slot, make sure the rod supports
the hood securely from falling down

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