Never leave anyone (particularly a
small child) alone in your vehicle,
especially with the ignition key still
inserted. Otherwise, he/she could

To open the back window, turn the key
clockwise and hold it for about 1 se-
cond.
After the door is locked, the window
opens slightly, and then lift the back win-
dow.
You can open the back window when the
back window wiper is working. At that
time, the wiper returns to the original
position and stops working.
The wiper restarts its working about 3
seconds after the back window is closed.
If the back window is not securely closed,
the back window wiper and washer will
not work. (See “Back window wiper and
washer” on page 95 and “Back window
defogger” on page 96 in Section 1−5.)
To close the back window, lower it. After
closing the back window, try pulling it up
to make sure it is securely closed.
When you close the back window, be

CAUTION
To avoid death or serious personal
injury, you must do the following.
Before you close the back window,
always make sure there is nobody
around the back window. You must
also make sure the heads, hands
and other parts of the bodies of all
occupants are kept completely in-
side the vehicle. If someone’s neck,
head or hands get caught in a clos-
ing window, it could result in death
or serious injury. When anyone
closes the back window, make sure
he or she operates the window
safely.
Keep the back window closed while
driving. This not only keeps the
luggage from being thrown out but
also prevents exhaust gases from
entering the vehicle.
NOTICE
To prevent damage to the back win-
dow dampers, do not apply any force,
paint or let any other foreign matter
on them.
