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.
The windows can be operated with the
switch on each door.
The power windows work when the
“POWER” switch is set at ON.
Key off operation: All windows work for
about 45 seconds even after the
“POWER” switch is turned off. They stop
working when either front door is opened.
OPERATING THE DRIVER’S WINDOW

Normal operation: The window moves as
long as you hold the switch.
To open: Lightly push down the switch.
To close: Pull up the switch.Automatic operation: Push the switch
completely down and then release it. The
window will fully open. To stop the window
partway, pull the switch up and then re-
lease it.

To avoid death or 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.

Never leave anyone (particularly a
small child) alone in your vehicle,
especially with the “POWER” switch
set at ON. 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.
When you carry the registered key into
the actuation area, the trunk can be
opened. For further information of actua-

less remote control function, see “—Open-
ing trunk lid” on page 28 in this Section.
CAUTION

ing. This not only keeps the luggage
from being thrown out but also pre-
vents exhaust gases from entering
the vehicle.
A warning buzzer may sound when:
The key is brought into the cabin after
the trunk is opened, and the trunk is
then closed.
The key is near the trunk when the
trunk is closed.
The buzzer may sound even when the key
is not in the trunk. This does not indicate
a problem. However, under these circum-
stances, the trunk cannot be opened using
the smart key system. Open the trunk
