To remove the cargo cover unit, stow the
cover and pull the holderto the
opposite side.
WARNING
. Never put anything on the cargo
cover, no matter how small. Any
object on it could cause an injury
in an accident or sudden stop.
. Do not leave the cargo cover in
the vehicle with it disengaged
from the holder.
. Properly secure all cargo with
ropes or straps to help prevent it from sliding or shifting. Do not
place cargo higher than the seat-
backs. In a sudden stop or colli-
sion, unsecured cargo could
cause personal injury.
. Properly secure cargo and do not
allow it to contact the top tether
strap when it is attached to the
top tether anchor. Cargo that is
not properly secured or cargo
that contacts the top tether strap
may damage the top tether strap
during a collision. If the cargo
cover contacts the top tether
strap when it is attached to the
top tether anchor, remove the
cargo cover from the vehicle or
secure it on the cargo floor below
its attachment location. If the
cargo cover is not removed, it
may damage the top tether strap
during a collision. Your child
could be seriously injured or
killed in a collision if the child
restraint top tether strap is da-
maged.
POWER WINDOWS
WARNING
.Make sure that all passengers
have their hands, etc. inside the
vehicle while it is in motion and
before closing the windows. Use
the window lock switch to pre-
vent unexpected use of the
power windows.
. To help avoid risk of injury or
death through unintended opera-
tion of the vehicle and or its
systems, including entrapment
in windows or inadvertent door
lock activation, do not leave chil-
dren, people who require the
assistance of others or pets un-
attended in your vehicle. Addi-
tionally, the temperature inside a
closed vehicle on a warm day can
quickly become high enough to
cause a significant risk of injury
or death to people and pets.
The power windows operate when the
ignition switch is in the ON position or for
about 45 seconds after the ignition
switch is pushed to the OFF position. If
the driver’s or front passenger’s door is
WINDOWS
WARNING
.Always have the doors locked
while driving. Along with the use
of seat belts, this provides great-
er safety in the event of an
accident by helping to prevent
persons from being thrown from
the vehicle. This also helps keep
children and others from unin-
tentionally opening the doors,
and will help keep out intruders.
. Before opening any door, always
look for and avoid oncoming
traffic.
. To help avoid risk of injury or
death through unintended opera-
tion of the vehicle and or its
systems, including entrapment
in windows or inadvertent door
lock activation, do not leave chil-
dren, people who require the
assistance of others or pets un-
attended in your vehicle. Addi-
tionally, the temperature inside a
closed vehicle on a warm day can
quickly become high enough to
cause a significant risk of injury
or death to people and pets.

LOCKING WITH MECHANICAL KEY
The power door lock system allows you to
lock or unlock all doors simultaneously
using the mechanical key.
.Turning the driver’s door key cylinder
to the front of the vehicle
will lock all
doors.
. Turning the driver’s door key cylinder
once to the rear of the vehicle
will
unlock the driver’s door. After return-
ing the key to the neutral position
,
turning it to the rear again within 60
seconds will unlock all doors.
. You can switch the lock system to the
mode that allows you to open all the
doors when the key is turned once. (See “How to use SETTING button” (P.4-
11).)
OPENING AND CLOSING WINDOWS
WITH THE MECHANICAL KEY
The driver’s door key operation also
allows you to open and close the window
that is equipped with the automatic
open/close function. (See “Power win-
dows” (P.2-46).)
To open the window, turn the driver’s
door key cylinder to the rear of the vehicle
for
longer than 1 second. The door is
unlocked and the window keeps opening
while turning the key.
This function can also be performed by
pushing and holding the UNLOCK button
on the Intelligent Key. (See “Remote key-
less entry system” (P.3-14).)
To close the window, turn the driver’s
door key cylinder to the front of the
vehicle for longer than 1 second. The
door is locked and the window keeps
closing while turning the key.

SECONDARY REAR HATCH RELEASE
The secondary rear hatch release me-
chanism allows opening the rear hatch in
the event of discharged battery or emer-
gency.
The release handle is located under the
cargo room carpet. To open the rear
hatch from the passenger compartment,

1. Remove the cargo room carpet.
2. Find the rear hatch release handle
as shown in the illustration.
3. Free the release handle that is fixed with velcro. 4. Firmly pull the release handle until the
rear hatch releases.
WARNING
.Do not drive with the trunk lid
open. This could allow dangerous
exhaust gases to be drawn into
the vehicle. See “Exhaust gas
(carbon monoxide)” (P.5-2) of this
manual.
. Closely supervise children when
they are around cars to prevent
them from playing and becoming
locked in the trunk where they
could be seriously injured. Keep
the car locked, with the trunk
closed, when not in use, and
prevent children’s access to In-
telligent Keys.
TRUNK LID (Roadster models)
SPA2692
TRUNK LID OPENER SWITCH
The trunk lid can be opened by pushing
the trunk lid opener switch when the
Intelligent Key is within the operating
range of the trunk lock/unlock function
regardless of the inside lock knob posi-
tion. (See “Intelligent Key system” (P.3-7).)
SPA2681
TRUNK RELEASE POWER CANCEL
SWITCH
When the switch located inside the glove
box is in the OFF position, the power to
the trunk lid will be canceled and the
trunk lid cannot be opened by the trunk
lid opener or trunk request switch.
When you have to leave the vehicle with a
valet and want to keep your belongings
safe in the glove box and the trunk, push
this switch to OFF and lock the glove box
with the mechanical key. Then leave the
vehicle and the Intelligent Key with the
valet and keep the mechanical key with
you.
See “Keys” (P.3-3). To connect the power to the trunk lid,
push the switch to the ON
position.
INTERIOR TRUNK LID RELEASE
WARNING
Closely supervise children when they
are around cars to prevent them
from playing and becoming locked
in the trunk where they could be
seriously injured. Keep the car
locked, with the trunk lid securely
latched, when not in use, and pre-
vent children’s access to Intelligent
Keys.
The interior trunk lid release mechanism
allows opening of the trunk lid in the
event that people become locked inside
the trunk.
Pre-driving checks and adjustments3-21
5-2Starting and driving
WARNING
.Do not leave children or adults
who would normally require the
support of others alone in your
vehicle. Pets should not be left
alone either. They could acciden-
tally injure themselves or others
through inadvertent operation of
the vehicle. Also, on hot, sunny
days, temperatures in a closed
vehicle could quickly become
high enough to cause severe or
possibly fatal injuries to people or
animals.
. Properly secure all cargo to help
prevent it from sliding or shifting.
Do not place cargo higher than
the seatbacks. In a sudden stop
or collision, unsecured cargo
could cause personal injury
(Coupe models).
. Closely supervise children when
they are around cars to prevent
them from playing and becoming
locked in the trunk where they
could be seriously injured. Keep
the car locked with the trunk
closed when not in use, and pre-
vent children’s access to car keys (Roadster models).
If the engine oil temperature is high, the
engine protection mode, which helps
reduce the chance of engine damage,
could activate and automatically de-
crease engine power. Driving while the
engine oil temperature is high may
result in engine damage.
EXHAUST GAS (carbon monoxide)
WARNING
. Do not breathe exhaust gases;
they contain colorless and odor-
less carbon monoxide. Carbon
monoxide is dangerous. It can
cause unconsciousness or death.
. If you suspect that exhaust fumes
are entering the vehicle, drive
with all windows fully open, and
have the vehicle inspected imme-
diately.
. Do not run the engine in closed
spaces such as a garage.
. Do not park the vehicle with the
engine running for any extended
length of time.
. Keep the rear hatch/trunk lid
closed while driving, otherwise exhaust gases could be drawn
into the passenger compartment.
If you must drive with the rear
hatch/trunk lid open, follow these
precautions:
1) Open all the windows.
2) Set the
air recirculation to
off and the fan control to high
to circulate the air.
. The exhaust system and body
should be inspected by a quali-
fied mechanic whenever:
— The vehicle is raised for ser-
vice.
— You suspect that exhaust fumes are entering into the
passenger compartment.
— You notice a change in the sound of the exhaust system.
— You have had an accident involving damage to the ex-
haust system, underbody, or
rear of the vehicle.
