Before Driving
Doors and Locks
Rear Door Child Safety Locks
These locks are intended to help prevent
children from accidentally opening the
rear doors. Use them on both rear doors
whenever a child rides in the rear seat of
the vehicle.
If you slide the child safety lock to the
lock position before closing that door, the
door cannot be opened from the inside.
The door can only be opened by pulling
the outside handle.

Liftgate/Boot Lid
WARNING
Never allow a person to ride in the
luggage compartment/boot:
Allowing a person to ride in the
luggage compartment/boot is
dangerous. The person in the luggage
compartment/boot could be seriously
injured or killed during sudden braking
or a collision.
Do not drive with the liftgate/boot lid
open:
Exhaust gas in the cabin of a vehicle
is dangerous. An open liftgate/boot lid
in a moving vehicle will cause exhaust
gas to be drawn into the cabin. This
gas contains CO (carbon monoxide),
which is colourless, odourless, and
highly poisonous, and it can cause loss
of consciousness and death. Moreover,
an open liftgate/boot lid could cause
occupants to fall out in an accident.
Do not stack or leave loaded
luggage unsecured in the luggage
compartment:
Otherwise, the luggage may move
or collapse, resulting in injury or an
accident. In addition, do not load
luggage higher than the seatbacks. It
may affect the side or rear fi eld of view.

Seat belt reminder
Front seat
If the vehicle is driven with the driver or front passenger's seat belt unfastened, the seat belt
warning light illuminates and a warning beep sounds.
If the driver or front passenger's seat belt is unfastened (only when the front passenger seat

light stops fl ashing, but remains illuminated, and the beep sound stops. If a seat belt
remains unfastened, the warning light fl ashes and the beep sound activates again for a
given period of time.
Until a seat belt is fastened or a given period of time has elapsed, the beep sound will not
stop even if the vehicle speed falls below 20 km/h (12 mph).
NOTE
If a driver or front passenger's seat belt is unfastened after the beep sound turns off
(warning light remains illuminated), and the vehicle speed exceeds 20 km/h (12 mph),
the warning light fl ashes and beep sound activates again.
Placing heavy items on the front passenger seat may cause the front passenger seat
belt warning function to operate depending on the weight of the item.
To allow the front passenger seat weight sensor to function properly, do not place
and sit on an additional seat cushion on the front passenger seat. The sensor may not
function properly because the additional seat cushion could cause sensor interference.
When a small child sits on the front passenger seat, it is possible that the warning light
will not operate.
Rear seat
If the rear seat belts are not fastened while the ignition is switched ON, the driver and the
passenger will be informed by the warning lights.
The warning lights illuminate in two colours. When the seat belt is not fastened, the
warning light illumination is red. When the seat belt is fastened, the illumination is green.
The warning lights operate even when there is no passenger on the rear seat. The warning
beep only sounds if a seat belt is unfastened after being fastened.

If the rear seat belts are not fastened in a specifi ed period of time after the engine has
been started, all the warning lights turn off.

If the vehicle speed exceeds about 20
km/h (12 mph) with the driver or front
passenger's seat belt unfastened, a warning
beep sounds continuously. If the seat belt
remains unfastened, the beep sound stops
once and then continues for about 90
seconds. The beep stops after the driver or
front passenger's seat belt is fastened.

  Some models do not have the seat
belt warning beep for the front
passenger's seat.
