Door locks
WA R N I N G Make sure all doors are tightly closed and locked while driving.• Locked doors, in co
mbination with the
use of seat belts, can help reduce the riskof ejection in
an accident.
• Locked doors can help keep passengers, especially small children, from opening doors and falling out
of moving vehicles.
• Locked doors can help
prevent outsiders
from gaining access to your vehicle when you slow or come to a stop.
 Lock your vehicle when
ever you leave it.
Children who get into
unlocked vehicles
may not be able to get out. Children trapped inside vehicles can quickly be overcome by heat
and suffer serious
injury or death due to heat stroke. Never leave a ch
ild alone in the vehicle. In
addition to the risk
of heat stroke, chil-
dren can activate switches and controls, resulting in an injury
or fatal accident.
When closing a door,
make sure that the
door is fully closed and the door-ajarwarning display goes
out on the informa-
tion screen on the multi-information dis- play. If the door is aj
ar it could open while
driving and cause an accident.

1. After unlocking, push the liftgate open switch (A) and raise the liftgate.
WA R N I N G Always keep the door
s tightly closed and
locked when driving. An unlocked door may be accidentally
opened by a passen-
ger, especially by
a child who could fall
out. Also, if the doors are not locked, there is a greater risk of someone being thrown from the vehicle
in an accident.
Liftgate (except for vehicles equipped with the power liftgate)
WA R N I N G It is dangerous to drive with the liftgate open since carbon mo
noxide (CO) gas can
enter the passenger compartment. CO is an invisible, odorless gas that cancause unconsciousness and even death. When opening and cl
osing the liftgate,
make sure that there are no people nearbyand be careful not to hit your head or pinch your hands, neck, etc. If snow or ice has ac
cumulated on the lift-
gate, remove it before
opening the liftgate.
Otherwise the liftgate may abruptly closedue to the weight of the snow or ice.
 When opening the lift
gate, always fully
open it. A partially opened liftgate canunexpectedly close due to its own weight. When the vehicle is parked on a slope, the effort required to open or close the liftgatemay be greater or less than expected. The liftgate may also open or close more quickly.CAUTION Do not stand behind the exhaust pipe when loading and unloading
luggage. Heat from
the exhaust could lead to burns. To avoid damage to the liftgate, make sure that area above and behind the liftgate is clear before opening it.NOTE
 Locking and unlocking the doors by using power door locks (driver and front passenger side), keyless entry system, or F.A.S.T.-keyoperation (vehicles
equipped with the
F.A.S.T.-key) also locks and unlocks the lift- gate.
To open
WA R N I N G
CAUTION Make sure there is no one standing nearby when opening the liftgate.NOTE
 The liftgate cannot be rais
ed if it is not raised
immediately after pressing the liftgate open switch.If this happens, raise th
e liftgate again after
pressing the liftgate open switch.  It is not possible to open the liftgate while the battery is disconnect
ed. If necessary, use
the inside liftgate release.  When the battery is reconnected, all doors and the liftgate will be locked. Unlock thembefore trying to open the liftgate.

Wind buffeting can be described as the per-ception of pressure on the ears or a boomingor rumbling sound. Your vehicle may exhibit wind buffeting when driving with one or both rear door windows down or partially opened.This is a normal occurrence that can be mini- mized. If the buffeting
occurs with the rear
door windows open, open the front door win- dows as well as the rear door windows to minimize the condition.
N00511001682
The sunroof can be ope
ned and closed with
the ignition switch or the operation mode in ON.
WA R N I N G Before driving with a child in the vehicle, be sure to lock the window switch to makeit inoperative. Children tampering withthe switch could easily trap their hands or heads in the window.
Safety mechanism (Driver’s door window only)
WA R N I N G If the battery terminals are disconnected or the fuse for electric window is replaced, the safety mechanism will be cancelled.If a hand or head got
trapped, a serious
injury could result.CAUTION The safety mechanism is deactivated just before the door window closes. This allows the door window to close completely. There-fore be especially care
ful that fingers are not
trapped in the door window opening.
 The safety mechanism is deactivated while the switch is pulled up.
Therefore be espe-
cially careful that fi
ngers are not trapped in
the door window opening. Do not deliberately trap your hands or head in order to activate the safety mechanism. Your hand or head coul
d be trapped and per-
sonal injury could result.NOTE
 The safety mechanism can be activated if the driving conditions or
other circumstances
cause the door window to be subjected to a physical shock similar to that caused by trapped hand or head.  If the battery terminals are disconnected or the fuse for power window is replaced, thesafety mechanism will
be cancelled and the
door window will not automatically open/close completely.If the window is open,
repeatedly raise the
driver’s door window switch until the win- dow has been fully closed.Following this, release the switch, raise theswitch once again and hold it in this condi- tion for at least 1 second, then release it. You should now be able to operate the driver’sdoor window in the normal function.CAUTION

With the ignition switch in the “ON” or “ACC” position or the
operation mode in ON
or ACC, push the mirror retractor switch to retract the mirrors. Push it again to extend the mirrors to their original positions. After placing the ignition switch in the“LOCK” position or the operation mode in OFF, it is possible to
retract and extend the
mirrors using the mirror retractor switch forabout 30 seconds.
[Vehicles with the keyless entry system] The mirrors automatically retract or extend when the doors are locked or unlocked usingthe remote control switches of the keyless entry system. Refer to “Keyless entry system” on page 5-7. [Vehicles with the Free-hand Advanced Secu- rity Transmitter (F.A.S.T-key)]The mirrors automatically retract or extend when the doors are locked or unlocked using the remote control switches or the F.A.S.T-key. Refer to “Keyless entry system” on page 5-30 or “To operate using the F.A.S.T.-key” onpage 5-15.
For vehicles equipped with the mirror retractor switchRetracting and extending the mir- rors using the mirror retractor switch
CAUTION It is possible to retract and extend the mirrors by hand. After retracti
ng a mirror using the
mirror retractor switch, however, you shouldextend it by using the switch again, not by hand. If you extended the mirror by hand after retracting it using
the switch, it would
not properly lock in pos
ition. As a result, it
could move because of the wind or vibration while you are driving, taking away your rear-ward visibility.NOTE
 Be careful not to get your hands trapped while a mirror is moving.  If you move a mirror by hand or it moves after hitting a person or object, you may not be able to return it to its original positionusing the mirror retractor switch. If this hap- pens, push the mirror retractor switch to place the mirror in its
retracted position and
then push the switch again to return the mir- ror to its original position.  When freezing has occurred and mirrors fail to operate as intended,
please refrain from
repeated pushing of the retractor switch asthis action can result in burn-out of the mir-ror motor circuits.
