WARNING
Always take all children and pets with

place where your children will not
fi
nd or play with them:
Leaving children in a vehicle with the
key is dangerous. This could result in

accident.
Always close all the windows and
moonroof, lock the doors, charge lid,
and liftgate 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.

liftgate, always verify that they are
securely closed:
Doors and the liftgate not securely
closed are dangerous, if the vehicle is
driven with a door and the liftgate not
securely closed, the door and the

liftgate is dangerous. A passing vehicle
or a pedestrian could be hit and cause
an accident.
CAUTION
Always con firm the conditions
around the vehicle before opening/
closing the doors and the liftgate 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 liftgate or a passing
pedestrian could be hit, resulting in
an unexpected accident or injury.
NOTE
Always stop the EV system and lock
the doors. In addition, to prevent
theft of valuables, do not leave them
inside the cabin.
