■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.
