■Rear seat reminder function
In order to remind you not to forget 
luggage, etc. in the rear seat, when 
the engine switch is turned off after 
any of the following conditions are 
met, a buzzer will  sound and a mes-
sage will be displayed on the 
multi-information di splay for approx-
imately 6 seconds.

closed after the engine was 
started.
However, if a rear door is opened

dle while driving.
Be especially careful of the front 
doors, as the doors may be 
opened even if the inside lock 
buttons are in the locked posi-
tion.
●Set the rear door child-protector 
locks when children are seated 
in the rear seats.
■When opening or closing a 
door
Check the surroundings of the 
vehicle such as wh ether the vehi-
cle is on an incline, whether there 
is enough space for a door to 
open and whether a strong wind 
is blowing. When opening or clos-
ing the door, hold the door handle 
tightly to prepare for any unpre-
dictable movement.
■When using the wireless 
remote control and operating 
the power windows
Operate the power windows after 
checking to make sure that there 
is no possibility of any passenger 
having any of their body parts
