then press down on it until it locks. To be
sure the trunk lid is securely fastened,

Emergency trunk safety release

ORB040302
WARNING
For emergencies, be fully aware
of the location of the emergency
trunk safety release lever in this
vehicle and how to open the
trunk if you are accidentally
locked in the trunk.
No one should be allowed to
occupy the trunk of the vehicle at
any time. If the trunk is partially
or totally latched and the person
is unable to get out, severe injury
or death could occur due to lack
of ventilation, exhaust fumes and
rapid heat build-up, or because of
exposure to cold weather condi-
tions. The trunk is also a highly
dangerous location in the event
of a crash because it is not a pro-
tected occupant space but is a
part of the vehicle’s crush zone.
Your vehicle should be kept
locked and keys be kept out of
the reach of children. Parents
should teach their children about
the dangers of playing in trunks.
Use the release lever for emer-
gencies only. Use with extreme
caution, especially while the vehi-
cle is in motion.
WARNING
The trunk lid should be always kept
completely closed while the vehicle
is in motion. If it is left open or ajar,
poisonous exhaust gases may
enter the vehicle and serious ill-
ness or death may result.

Features of your vehicle
Power windows
The ignition switch must be in the ON
position for power windows to operate.
Each door has a power window switch
that controls that door's window. The
driver has a power window lock switch
which can block the operation of pas-
senger windows. The driver’s door has
a master power window switch that
controls all the windows in the vehicle.
The power windows can be operated for
approximately 30 seconds after the igni-
tion key is removed or turned to the ACC
or LOCK position. However, if the front
doors open, the power windows cannot
be operated within the 30 second period
(if equipped : remote keyless entry sys-
tem).
✽ ✽
NOTICE
While driving with the rear windows
down or with the sunroof (if equipped) in
an open (or partially open) position, your
vehicle may demonstrate a wind buffet-
ing or pulsation noise. This noise is a
normal occurrence and can be reduced
or eliminated by taking the following
actions. If the noise occurs with one or
both of the rear windows down, partially
lower both front windows approximate-
ly one inch. If you experience the noise
with the sunroof open, slightly reduce the
size of the sunroof opening.

Features of your vehicle
Automatic reversal
If the upward movement of the window is
blocked by an object or part of the body,
the window will detect the resistance and
will stop upward movement. The window
will then lower approximately 30 cm (11.8
in.) to allow the object to be cleared.
If the window detects the resistance
while the power window switch is pulled
up continuously, the window will stop
upward movement then lower approxi-
mately 2.5 cm (1 in.). And if the power
window switch is pulled up continuously
again within 5 seconds after the window
is lowered by the automatic window
reversal feature, the automatic window
reversal will not operate.
✽ ✽
NOTICE
The automatic reverse feature for the
driver’s window is only active when the
“auto up” feature is used by fully
pulling up the switch. The automatic
reverse feature will not operate if the
window is raised using the halfway posi-
tion on the power window switch.
Power window lock button
The driver can disable the power window
switches on the front and rear passen-
gers' doors by pressing the power window
lock switch to lock position (pressed).
When the power window lock switch is
pressed, the driver's master control can-
not operate the front and rear passen-
gers' power windows.

WARNING
Always check for obstructions
before raising any window to avoid
injuries or vehicle damage. If an
object less than 4 mm (0.16 in.) in
diameter is caught between the
window glass and the upper win-
dow channel, the automatic reverse
window may not detect the resist-
ance and will not stop and reverse
direction.

WARNING - Windows
NEVER leave the keys in your
vehicle with unsupervised chil-
dren, when the Engine is running.
NEVER leave any child unattend-
ed in the vehicle. Even very
young children may inadvertently
cause the vehicle to move, entan-
gle themselves in the windows,
or otherwise injure themselves or
others.
Always double check to make
sure all arms, hands, head and
other obstructions are safely out
of the way before closing a win-
dow.
Do not allow children to play with
the power windows. Keep the dri-
ver’s door power window lock
switch in the LOCK position
(depressed). Serious injury can
result from unintentional window
operation by the child.
Do not extend any head or arms
outside through the window open-
ing while driving.
CAUTION
To prevent possible damage to
the power window system, do not
open or close two windows or
more at the same time. This will
also ensure the longevity of the
fuse.
Never try to operate the main
switch on the driver's door and
the individual door window
switch in opposing directions at
the same time. If this is done, the
window will stop and cannot be
opened or closed.

Closing the hood
1. Before closing the hood, check the fol-
lowing:

must be correctly installed.

bustible material must be removed
from the engine compartment.
2. Return the support rod to its clip to
prevent it from rattling.
3. Lower the hood until it is about 1 ft. (30
cm) above the closed position and let
it drop. Make sure that it locks into
place.WARNING

that all obstructions are removed
from the hood opening. Closing
the hood with an obstruction
present in the hood opening may
result in property damage or
severe personal injury.
Do not leave gloves, rags or any
other combustible material in the
engine compartment. Doing so
may cause a heat-induced fire.
Always double check to be sure
that the hood is firmly latched
before driving away. If it is not
latched, the hood could open
while the vehicle is being driven,
causing a total loss of visibility,
which might result in an accident.
Do not move the vehicle with the
hood in the raised position, as
vision is obstructed and the hood
could fall or be damaged.
