CAUTION
. 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.
. 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 car-go.
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
unlock it by manually operating the
rear gate lock release lever.
For the procedure, refer to “Rear gate
(Station wagon) –if the rear gate
cannot be unlocked ”section in chapter
9. Moonroof (if equipped)
WARNING
. Never 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 in-
volved in an accident.
To avoid serious personal injury
caused by entrapment, you must
do the following.
. Before closing the moonroof,
make sure that no one ’s hands,
arms, head or other objects will
be accidentally caught in themoonroof.
. Before leaving the vehicle, al-
ways 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 operat-
ing the moonroof. .
Never try to check the anti-en-
trapment function by deliberately
placing part of your body in themoonroof.
CAUTION
. Do not sit on the edge of the open
moonroof.
. Do not operate the moonroof if
falling snow or extremely cold
conditions have caused it to
freeze shut.
. The anti-entrapment 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.
The moonroof has both tilting and slidingfunctions.
The moonroofs operate only when the
ignition switch is in the “ON ”position.

raise the moonroof.
Push the front side of the “Tilt ”switch to
lower the moonroof.
Release the switch after the moonroof has
been raised or has been lowered com-
pletely. Pushing the switch continuously
may cause damage to the moonroof. NOTE
One-touch operation does not take
place when the moonroof is tilted up
and down. Push the switch continu-
ously to tilt the moonroof up and down. !

way position while opening or closing it,
momentarily push the switch to the“
OPEN ”or “CLOSE ”side.
After washing the vehicle or after it rains,
wipe away water on the roof prior to
opening the moonroof to prevent drops
of water from falling into the passengercompartment. ! Anti-entrapment function
When the moonroof senses an object
trapped between its glass and the vehi-cle ’s roof during closure, it automatically
moves back to either of the following
positions according to the point at which
it senses the object: . When the moonroof senses the object
at a point between the halfway stop
position and fully closed position, it moves
back to the halfway stop position and
stops there. . When the moonroof senses the object
at a point between the halfway stop
position and fully open position, it moves
back to the fully open position and stopsthere.
The anti-entrapment function may also be
activated by a strong shock on the moon-
roof even when there is nothing trapped. Keys and doors

trapped between its glass and during
closure, it automatically moves back by
5.9 in (15 cm) from that point and then
stops. The anti-entrapment function may
also be activated by a strong shock on the
moonroof even when there is nothingtrapped. NOTE . For the sake of safety, it is recom-
mended that you avoid driving with the
moonroof fully opened.. Driving with the moonroof fully open
can cause an annoying sound to gen-
erate at high speeds. If such a condi-
tion has been encountered, use the
moonroof at the initial stop position of
6.7 in (17 cm). !

Ignition switch
WARNING
. Never turn the ignition switch to
“ LOCK ”while the vehicle is
being driven or towed because
that will lock the steering wheel,
preventing steering control. And
when the engine is turned off, it
takes a much greater effort than
usual to steer.
. Before leaving the vehicle, al-
ways 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.
CAUTION
Do not attach a large key holder or
key case to either key. If it banged
against your knees or hands while
you were driving, it could turn the
ignition switch from the “ON ”posi- tion to the
“Acc ”or “LOCK ”posi-
tion, thereby stopping the engine.
Also, if the key is attached to a
keyholder or to a large bunch of
other keys, centrifugal force may act
on it as the vehicle moves, resulting
in unwanted turning of the ignitionswitch.
The ignition switch has four positions:
LOCK, ACC, ON and START.
NOTE . Keep the ignition switch in the
“ LOCK ”position when the engine is
not running. . Using electrical accessories for a
long time with the ignition switch in the“ ON ”or “ACC ”position can cause the
battery to go dead. .
If the ignition switch will not move
from the “LOCK ”position to the “ACC ”
position, turn the steering wheel
slightly to the left and right as you turn
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 difficult, turn the
steering wheel slightly to the right and left
as you turn the key. ! Automatic transmission vehicles
The key can be turned from “ACC ”to
“ LOCK ”only when the selector lever is in
the “P ”position. Instruments and controls
