Always take all children and pets with you
or leave a responsible person with them:
Leaving a child or a pet unattended in a
parked vehicle is dangerous. In hot
weather, temperatures inside a vehicle can
become high enough to cause brain
damage or even death.
Do not leave the key in your vehicle with
children and keep them in a place where
your children will not find or play with
them:
Leaving children in a vehicle with the key is
dangerous. This could result in someone
being badly injured or even killed.
Keep all doors locked when driving:
Unlocked doors in a moving vehicle are
dangerous. Passengers can fall out if a
door is accidentally opened and can more
easily be thrown out in an accident.
Always close all the windows and
moonroof, lock the doors and the trunk lid
and take the key with you when leaving
your vehicle unattended:
Leaving your vehicle unlocked is dangerous
as children could lock themselves in a hot
vehicle, which could result in death. Also, a
vehicle left unlocked becomes an easy
target for thieves and intruders.
After closing the doors and the trunk lid,
always verify that they are securely closed:
Doors and the trunk lid not securely closed
are dangerous, if the vehicle is driven with
a door and the trunk lid not securely closed,
the door and the tr unk lid could open
unexpectedly resulting in an accident.
Always confirm the safety around the
vehicle before opening a door and the
trunk lid:
Suddenly opening a door and the trunk lid
is dangerous. A passing vehicle or a
pedestrian could be hit and cause an
accident.
CAUTION
 Always confirm the conditions around
the vehicle before opening/closing the
doors and the trunk lid and use caution
during strong winds or when parked on
an incline. Not being aware of the
conditions around the vehicle is
dangerous because fingers could get
caught in the door and the trunk lid or a
passing pedestrian could be hit, resulting
in an unexpected accident or injury.
NOTE
Always stop the engine and lock the
doors. In addition, to prevent theft of
valuables, do not leave them inside the
cabin.
If the key is left in the following areas
and you leave the vehicle, the doors may

Trunk Lid
WA R N I N G
Never allow a person to ride in the trunk:
Allowing a person to ride in the trunk is
dangerous. The person in the trunk could
be seriously injured or killed during sudden
braking or a collision.
Do not drive with the trunk lid open:
Exhaust gas in the cabin of a vehicle is
dangerous. An open trunk lid in a moving
vehicle will cause exhaust gas to be drawn
into the cabin. This gas contains CO
(carbon monoxide), which is colorless,
odorless, and highly poisonous, and it can
cause loss of consciousness and death.
Moreover, an open trunk lid could cause
occupants to fall out in an accident.
CAUTION
Before opening the trunk lid, remove any
snow and ice accumulation on it.
Otherwise, the trunk lid could close
under the weight of the snow and ice
resulting in injury.
 Be careful when opening/closing the
trunk lid during strong winds. If a strong
gust blows against the trunk lid, it could
close suddenly resulting in injury.
 Fully open the trunk lid and make sure
that it stays open. If the trunk lid is only
opened partially, it could slam shut by
vibration or wind gusts resulting in
injury.
When loading or unloading luggage in
the trunk, turn off the engine. Otherwise,
you could get burned by the heat of the
exhaust gas.
