WARNING
■Things that must not be carried in the trunk
The following things may cause a fire if loaded in the trunk:
●Receptacles containing gasoline
●Aerosol cans
■Storage precautions
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.
●Stow cargo and luggage in the trunk whenever possible.
●To prevent cargo and luggage from sliding forward during braking, do
not stack anything in the enlarged trunk. Keep cargo and luggage low,
as close to the floor as possible.
●When you fold down the rear seats, long items should not be placed
directly behind the front seats.
●Never allow anyone to ride in the enlarged trunk. It is not designed for
passengers. They should ride in their seats with their seatbelts prop-
erly fastened. Otherwise, they are much more likely to suffer death or
serious bodily injury, in the event of sudden braking, sudden swerving
or an accident.
●Do not place cargo or luggage in or on the following locations as the
item may get under the clutch, brake or accelerator pedal and prevent
the pedals from being depressed properly, block the driver’s vision, or
hit the driver or passengers, causing an accident:
• At the feet of the driver
• On the front passenger or rear seats (when stacking items)
• On the rear shelf
• On the instrument panel
• On the dashboard
●Secure all items in the occupant compartment, as they may shift and
injure someone during sudden braking, sudden swerving or an acci-
dent.

■Caution while driving
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause an accident resulting in death or serious injury.
●Before driving, place the cup holder in the rear position so that it does not
hinder select lever or shift lever operation.
■ Items unsuitable for the cup holder
Do not place anything other than cups or aluminum cans in the cup holders.
Other items may be thrown out of the holders in the event of an accident or
sudden braking, causing injury. If possible, cover hot drinks to prevent burns.
●When placing the cup holder, make
sure it is facing the correct direction.
Failure to do so will cause the cup

WARNING
■When programming a garage door or other remote control devices
When programming the HomeLink
® Wireless Control System, you may be
operating a garage door opener or other device. Make sure that people and
objects are out of the way of the garage door or other device to prevent
potential harm or damage.
■ Conforming to federal safety standards
Do not use the HomeLink
® Wireless Control System with a garage door
opener that lacks the safety stop and reverse feature as required by applica-
ble safety standards. A garage door opener which cannot detect an object,
signaling the door to stop and reverse, does not meet these safety stan-
dards. Using a garage door opener without these features increases risk of
serious injury or death. For more information, consult the HomeLink website
at www.homelink.co m or call 1-800-355-3515.
CAUTION
■Hand-held remote (garage door opener remote)
Keep the hand-held remote (garage door opener remote) of the device you
are programming for use in other vehicles as well as for future HomeLink
programming. It is also suggested that upon the sale of the vehicle, the pro-
grammed HomeLink buttons be erased for security purposes. Refer to
“Erasing HomeLink Buttons”. ( →P. 324)
