Doors and Locks
*Some models.
Power Liftgate *
The power liftgate opens/closes
electrically by operating the switches in
the vehicle or the buttons on the keyless
entry system transmitter.
WARNING
Be sure to watch the power liftgate as it
opens or closes, and make sure that it
closes completely:
Opening or closing the power
liftgate while not watching it move
is dangerous. Because of unseen
obstacles and the jam-safe feature, a
liftgate may not close completely and,
if left unnoticed, could result in serious
injury or death if an occupant were to
fall out of the vehicle.
Always be sure that the area around
the liftgate is clear before activating it.
Always confi rm the safety of the area
around the power liftgate before
operating it electrically.
Not checking the area around the
liftgate for people before operating
it using the power liftgate switch
or the button on the keyless entry
system is dangerous. A person could
become caught between the liftgate
and an obstruction while it is opening
electrically or between the liftgate and
vehicle while it is closing electrically,
resulting in an accident and serious
injury.
Never allow children to operate the
power liftgate system:
Allowing children to operate the power
liftgate switch and the keyless entry
system is dangerous. Children are not
aware of the dangers of people getting
fi ngers and hands caught in a moving
liftgate. If someone's neck, head or
hands get caught in a closing door, it
could result in death or serious injury.
CAUTION
When closing the power liftgate,
make sure there are no foreign objects
around the striker. If foreign objects are
obstructing the striker, the liftgate may
not close properly.
Striker
Do not install accessories to the power
liftgate other than specifi ed accessories.
Otherwise, it cannot be opened/closed
automatically and could result in a
malfunction.
Be careful when switching the power
liftgate from electrical to manual
operation. The power liftgate may open/
close unexpectedly depending on its
position which could result in injury.

Power Windows
The ignition must be switched ON for the

WARNING
Make sure the opening is clear before
closing a window:
Closing a power window is dangerous.
A person's hands, head, or even neck
could be caught by the window and
result in serious injury or even death.
This warning applies especially to
children.
Never allow children to play with power
window switches:
Power window switches that are not
locked with the power window lock
switch would allow children to operate
power windows unintentionally, which
could result in serious injury if a child's
hands, head or neck becomes caught
by the window.
CAUTION
To prevent burning out the fuse and
damaging the power window system,
do not open or close more than three
windows at once.

A power window may no longer open/
close if you continue to press the switch
after fully opening/closing the power
window. If the power window does not
open/close, wait a moment and then
operate the switch again.
When driving with only one of the
rear windows open, your ears might
experience a resonating sound.
However, this does not indicate a
problem. The sound can be reduced by
slightly opening a front window or by
changing the size of the rear window
opening.
