CAUTION
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.
■Closing the windows
●The driver is responsible for all the power window operations, including the
operation for the passengers. In order to prevent accidental operation,
especially by a child, do not let a child operate the power windows. It is
possible for children and other passengers to have body parts caught in
the power window. Also, when riding with a child, it is recommended to use
the window lock switch. (P. 145)
●Check to make sure that all passengers do not have any part of their body
in a position where it could be caught when a window is being operated.
●When using the key or mechanical key and operating the power windows,
operate the power window after checking to make sure that there is no
possibility of any passenger having any of their body parts caught in the
window. Also do not let a child operate window by the key or mechanical
key. It is possible for children and other passengers to get caught in the
power window.
●When exiting the vehicle, turn the engine switch off, carry the key and exit
the vehicle along with the child. There may be accidental operation, due to
mischief, etc., that may possibly lead to an accident.
■Up jam protection function
●Never use any part of your body to intentionally activate the up jam protec-
tion function.
●The up jam protection function may not work if something gets caught just
before the window fully closes.
■Down jam protection function
●Never allow passengers to use hands, arms, cloths, etc., to intentionally
activate the down jam protection function.
●The down jam protection function may not work if a foreign object gets
caught just before the window completely opens. Be careful not to get
hands, arms, clothes, etc., caught in the window.
