Safety mechanism (driver’s door win-
dow only) E00302500609
If a hand or head is trapped in the closing window,
it will lower automatically. Nonetheless, make sure that nobody puts their head
or

hand out of the window when closing the driv-
er’s door window.
The lowered window will become operational after
a few seconds. WARNING
l If
the safety mechanism is activated three
or more times successively, the safety
mechanism will be temporarily cancelled.
If a hand or head got trapped, a serious
injury could result. CAUTION

The
safety mechanism is cancelled just be-
fore the window is fully closed. This al-
lows the window to close completely.
Therefore be especially careful that no fin-
gers are trapped in the window.
l The safety mechanism is deactivated
while the switch is pulled up. Therefore
be especially careful that fingers are not
trapped in the door window opening.
NOTE l The

safety mechanism can be activated if the
driving conditions or other circumstances
cause the driver’s door window to be subjec-
ted to a physical shock similar to that caused
by a trapped hand or head. Locking and unlocking

l
If the safety mechanism is activated three or
more times in a row, the safety mechanism
will be cancelled and the door window will
not close correctly.

should be implemented to rectify this situa-
tion. If the window is open, repeatedly raise
the driver’s door window switch until the win-
dow has been fully closed. Following this, re-
lease the switch, raise the switch once again
and hold it in this condition for at least 1 sec-
ond, then release it. You should now be able
to operate the driver’s door window in the nor-
mal fashion. Sunshade*
E00302800279 WARNING
l Never
leave a child (or other person who
might not be capable of safe operation of
the sunshade switch) in the vehicle alone.
l Before operating the sunshade, make
sure that nothing can be trapped (head,
hand, finger, etc.).
l Do not bring your head, hand, finger, etc.
near the opening edge of the sunshade re-
ceptacle while the vehicle is in motion.
It may cause injury to your head, hand,
finger, etc. in the event of sudden braking. CAUTION
l
Do
not place heavy luggage on the panor-
amic glass roof. Doing so could damage
the glass roof.
l Do not hang heavy luggage from, allow a
person to hang onto, or apply any other
strong force to the opening of the sun-
shade receptacle or the parts between the
ceiling and the sunshade opening on ei-
ther side. Doing so could damage the sun-
shade.
NOTE l Release

the switch as soon as the sunshade
reaches the fully open or fully closed position. l
If
the sunshade does not operate when the sun-
shade switch is operated, release the switch
and check whether something is trapped by
the sunshade. If nothing is trapped, we recom-
mend you to have the sunshade checked.
l Operating the sunshade repeatedly with the
engine stationary will run down the battery.
Operate the sunshade while the engine is run-
ning.
l Close the sunshade when parking the vehicle
for a long time. Parking in the hot sun with
the sunshade open will make the vehicle in-
side extremely hot.
The sunshade can only be operated with the igni-
tion switch or the operation mode in ON. 1- Open

Seat belts
E00404800636
To
protect you and your passengers in the event of
an accident, it is most important that the seat belts
be worn correctly while driving.
The front seat belts have a pretensioner system.
These belts are used the same way as a convention-
al seat belt.
Refer to “Seat belt pretensioner system and force
limiter system” on page 2-14. WARNING
l Always
place the shoulder belt over your
shoulder and across your chest. Never
put it behind you or under your arm.
l One seat belt should be used by only one
person. Doing otherwise can be dangerous.
l The seat belt will provide its wearer with
maximum protection if the recliner seat-
back is placed in fully upright position.
When the seatback is reclined, there is
greater risk that the passenger will slide
under the belt, especially in a forward im-
pact accident, and may be injured by the
belt or by striking the instrument panel
or seatbacks.
l Seat belts should always be worn by ev-
ery adult who drives or rides in this vehi-
cle, and by all children who are tall
enough to wear seat belts properly.
Other children should always use proper
child restraint systems.
l Remove any twists when using the belt. WARNING
l No
modifications or additions should be
made by the user which will either pre-
vent the seat belt adjusting devices from
operating to remove slack, or prevent the
seat belt assembly from being adjusted to
remove slack.
l Never hold a child in your arms or on
your lap when riding in this vehicle, even
if you are wearing your seat belt. To do
so risks severe or fatal injury to the child
in a collision or sudden stop.
l Always adjust the belt to a snug fit.
l Always wear the lap portion of the belt
over your hips. 3-point type seat belt (with emergency
locking mechanism)
E00404901070
This type of belt requires no length adjustment.
Once

worn, the belt adjusts itself to the movement
of the wearer, but in the event of a sudden or strong
shock, the belt automatically locks to hold the wear-
er’s body. NOTE
l You

can check if the belt locks by pulling it
forward quickly.
To fasten 1. Pull the seat belt out slowly while holdingthe latch plate.
NOTE l When the seat belts cannot be pulled out in a
locked condition, pull the belts once forceful-
ly and then return them. After that, pull the
belts out slowly once again.
2. Insert the latch plate into the buckle until a “click” is heard. WARNING
l Never
wear the lap portion of the belt
across your abdomen. During accidents it
can press sharply against the abdomen
and increase the risk of injury. Seat and seat belts
