GX460_CANADA (OM60F29U)
■When opening the glass hatch
●Open the glass hatch slowly and carefully.
●Use the glass hatch opener when the back door is closed.
■Opening the glass hatch while the rear window wiper is in operation
Rear window wiper operation will stop moving. Operation will recommence after
the glass hatch has been closed.
■Function to prevent the glass hatch being locked with the electronic key inside
●When all doors are being locked, closing the glass hatch with the electronic key
left inside the luggage compartment will sound an alarm.
In this case, the glass hatch can be opened using the entry function.
●Even when the spare electronic key is put in the luggage compartment with all
the doors locked, the key confinement prevention function can be activated so
the glass hatch can be opened. In order to prevent theft, take all electronic keys
with you when leaving the vehicle.
●Even when the electronic key is put in the luggage compartment with all the
doors are locked, the key may not be detected depending on the places and the
surrounding radio wave conditions. In this case, the key confinement prevention
function cannot be activated, causing the doors to lock when the glass hatch is
closed. Make sure to check where the key is before closing the glass hatch.
■After closing the glass hatch
Check that the glass hatch is firmly locked. If it is not firmly locked, the rear window
wiper and washer will not operate correctly.

Active head restraintsWhen the occupant’s lower back
presses against the seatback dur-
ing a rear-end collision, the head
restraint moves slightly forward
and upward to help reduce the risk
of whiplash on the seat occupant.
■The auto away function for exiting the driver seat
If the seat is already close to the rearmost position, the auto away function may not
operate when the driver exits the vehicle.
■Active head restraints
Even small forces applied to the seatback may cause the head restraint to move.

■Customization
The distance that the driver’s seat moves backward during the auto away function
can be changed. (Customizable features →P. 7 8 3 )
CAUTION
■Seat adjustment
To reduce the risk of sliding under the lap belt during a collision, do not recline the
seat more than necessary.
If the seat is too reclined, the lap belt may slide past the hips and apply restraint
forces directly to the abdomen, or your neck may contact the shoulder belt,
increasing the risk of death or serious injury in the event of an accident.
Adjustments should not be made while driving as the seat may unexpectedly move
and cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle.
