WARNING
Always take all children and pets with
you or leave a responsible person with
them:
Leaving a child or a pet unattended
in a parked vehicle is dangerous. In
hot weather, temperatures inside a
vehicle can become high enough to
cause brain damage or even death.
Do not leave the key in your vehicle
with children and keep them in a place
where your children will not find or
play with them:
Leaving children in a vehicle with the
key is dangerous. This could result in
someone being badly injured or even
killed.
Keep all doors locked when driving:
Unlocked doors in a moving vehicle
are dangerous. Passengers can fall
out if a door is accidentally opened
and can more easily be thrown out in
an accident.
Always close all the windows and
moonroof, lock the doors and take the
key with you when leaving your vehicle
unattended:
Leaving your vehicle unlocked is
dangerous as children could lock
themselves in a hot vehicle, which
could result in death. Also, a vehicle
left unlocked becomes an easy target
for thieves and intruders.After closing the doors, always verify
that they are securely closed:
Doors not securely closed are
dangerous, if the vehicle is driven
with a door not securely closed, the
door could open unexpectedly
resulting in an accident.
Always confirm the safety around the
vehicle before opening a door:
Suddenly opening a door is
dangerous. A passing vehicle or a
pedestrian could be hit and cause an
accident.
NOTE
lThe vehicle lock-out prevention feature
prevents you from locking yourself out of
the vehicle. All doors and the liftgate will
automatically unlock if they are locked
using the power door locks with any door
or the liftgate open.
l(Door unlock (control) system with
collision detection)
This system automatically unlocks the
doors in the event the vehicle is involved in
an accident to allow passengers to get out
of the vehicle immediately and prevent
being trapped inside. While the ignition is
switched ON and in the event the vehicle
receives an impact strong enough to inflate
the air bags, all the doors are automatically
unlocked after about 6 seconds have
elapsed from the time of the accident.
The doors may not unlock depending on
how an impact is applied, the force of the
impact, and other conditions of the
accident.
If door-related systems or the battery is
malfunctioning, the doors will not unlock.
