run down, the back  door will  be automati-
cally locked and  the back  door  system
may not work after you reconnect, replace

closed, they work for 43 seconds even
after the hybrid system is stopped. They
stop working when either front door is
opened.
OPERATING THE DRIVER’S WINDOW

gets  caught between the window and win-
dow frame during automatic  closing opera-
tion or  key off  closing operation,  the win-
dow stops and opens halfway.
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.

as far as the seatbacks. See “Cargo and
luggage” on page 344  for precautions
when loading luggage.
CAUTION
When only rear  left seat  is folded
down, rear seat alone can be used.

the rear center seat belt cannot be
fastened correctly when the rear left
seat is folded down.
22p203
BEFORE RETURNING REAR SEAT
Make sure the shoulder belt pass
through the guide when returning the
seatback up.
If the shoulder belt on the rear right seat
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.
