Warning
Never leave a child, a helpless adult, or a
pet alone in a vehicle, especially with the
windows closed in warm or hot weather.
They can be overcome by the extreme
heat and suffer permanent injuries or
even death from heat stroke.
The vehicle aerodynamics are designed to
improve electric range performance. This
may result in a pulsing sound when either
rear window is down and the front windows
are up. To reduce the sound, open a front
window.
Power Windows
{Warning
Leaving children in a vehicle with the RKE
transmitter is dangerous for many
reasons; children or others could be badly
injured or even killed. They could operate
the power windows or other controls or
even make the vehicle move. The
windows will function with the RKE
transmitter in the vehicle and they could
be seriously injured or killed if caught in
the path of a closing window. Do not
leave the RKE transmitter in a vehicle
with children.
When there are children in the rear seat,
use the window lockout switch to prevent
unintentional operation of the windows.
