OVI045019N
You and your passengersmust be aware of the location
of the Emergency Trunk
Safety Release lever in this
vehicle and how to open the
trunk in case you are acciden-
tally locked inside.
NEVER allow anyone to sit inside the trunk at any time.
When the trunk is slightly or
fully latched, and when the
person is unable to get out,
serious injury or death may
occur due to lack of ventila-
tion, exhaust fumes and rapid
heat build-up, or exposure to
a cold temperature. The trunk
is also a highly dangerous
location in the event of a
crash, because it is not a pro-
tected space, but a vehicle's
crush zone.
Your vehicle should be kept locked and the Smart Key
should be kept away from
children. Parents should
instruct children about the
danger of playing in the trunk.
Use the Emergency Trunk Safety Release lever for emer-
gencies only.
WARNING
Always keep the Trunk LidControl button OFF (not
depressed), if not in use. A
child's unintentional opera-
tion may result serious injury
or death.
Make sure heads, other body parts or other obstacles are
safely out of the way before
operating the Power Trunk.

WARNING

Power Windows
The Engine Start/Stop Button must
be ON, before raising or lowering the
windows.
Each door has a Power Window
switch to control that door's window.

switch to block the operation of pas-
senger windows. The power windows
even operate for approximately 30
seconds after turning the Engine
Start/Stop Button to the ACC or
LOCK position. However, after open-
ing a front door, the Power Windows
do not operate.
Information
While driving with the rear windows
down or with the sunroof (if equipped)
open (or partially open), your vehicle
may experience noise due to the wind
resistance. This is normal, and the
noise can be reduced or eliminated by
taking the following actions. When the
noise occurs with one or both of the
rear windows down, lower both the
front windows approximately by one
inch. When you experience the noise
with the sunroof open, slightly close
the sunroof to reduce the opening size.

To Reset the Power Windows
When the power windows do not nor-
mally operate, the automatic power
window system must be reset as fol-
lows:

2. Continue pulling up the power win- dow switch even after fully closing
the windows for one second or
more.
If the problem persists, have the sys-
tem checked by an authorized

Automatic Reverse
When a window sensor detects any
obstacle while automatically closing
the window, the window will stop the
upward movement, and then be low-
ered by approximately 12 in (30 cm)
to allow the object to be cleared.
When the window sensor detects the
resistance while pulling up the power
window switch, the window will stop
the upward movement, and then be
lowered by approximately 1 in (2.5
cm). When the power window switch is
pulled up again within five seconds
after the window is lowered by the
automatic reverse function, this func-
tion does not operate.
Information
The automatic reverse function for the
driver’s window is only active when
the “auto up” function is used by fully
pulling up the switch. The automatic
reverse function will not operate,
when the window is half open by oper-
ating the Power Window switch.

extended from the windows,
before closing, to avoid injury
or vehicle damage.
Objects, which are less than
0.16 in. (4 mm) in diameter and
caught between the window
and the upper window frame,
