WARNING
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
fi
nd 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, 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.
After closing the doors and the
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 could open unexpectedly
resulting in an accident.
Always con firm the safety around the
vehicle before opening a door and the
liftgate:
Suddenly opening a 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.
If the key is left in the following areas
and you leave the vehicle, the doors
may be locked depending on the
radio wave conditions even if the key
is left in the vehicle.
