Warnings and CautionsWhen Using the Doors

If a person's hand, foot, or neck is
pinched in a door, it could result in
serious injury.
Do not drive the vehicle with the
door-ajar warning light/indication

Otherwise, the door may open
unexpectedly and result in an accident.
Always take all children and pets with

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
find 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

accident.
Always close all the windows and
Panorama sunroof/moonroof, lock
the doors, fuel-filler 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 confirm 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 confirm the conditions around
the vehicle during strong winds or
when parked on an incline before
opening/closing the doors. Neglecting
to check the conditions around the
vehicle could result in fingers getting
caught in the door or a passing
pedestrian being hi t, resulting in an
unexpected accident or injury.
