WARNING
■To prevent an accident
Observe the following precautions while driving the vehicle.
Failure to do so may result in a door opening and an occupant falling out,
resulting in death or serious injury.
● Ensure that all doors are properly closed and locked.
● Do not pull the inside handle of the doors while driving.
Be especially careful for the front doors, as the doors may be opened
even if the inside lock buttons are in locked position.
● Set the rear door child-protector locks when children are seated in the rear
seats.
■ When opening or closing a door
Check the surroundings of the vehicle such as whether the vehicle is on an
incline, whether there is enough space for a door to open and whether a
strong wind is blowing.
When opening or closing the door, hold the door handle tightly to prepare
for any unpredictable movement.
■ When using the wireless remote co ntrol or key and operating the
power windows
Operate the power window after checking to make sure that there is no pos-\
sibility of any passenger having any of their body parts caught in the side
window. Also, do not allow children to operate the wireless remote control or
key. It is possible for children and other passengers to get caught in the
power window.
■ When closing the rear door
Take extra care to prevent your fingers,
etc., from being caught. Failure to do so
may result in death or serious injury.

locked in position by lightly rocking it
back and forth.
If the seatback is not securely locked,
the red marking will be visible on the
seatback lock release knob. Make sure
that the red marking is not visible.
● Check that the seat belts are not twisted
or caught in the seatback.
