WARNING
■To prevent an accident
Observe the following precautions 
while driving the vehicle.
Failure to do so may result in a 
door opening and an occupant 
being thrown out of the vehicle, 
resulting in death  or serious injury.
●Ensure that all doors are prop-
erly closed and locked.

dle while driving.

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 whether 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 or the key and 
operating the power win-
dows or moon roof (if

Operate the power windows or 
moon roof after ch ecking to make 
sure that there is no possibility of 
any passenger having any of their 
body parts caught in the windows 
or moon roof. Also, do not allow 
children to operate the wireless 
remote control or the key. It is 
possible for children and other 
passengers to get caught in the

WARNING
Observe the following precau-
tions. Failure to do so may result 
in death or serious injury.
■Before driving the vehicle
Before driving the vehicle, make 
sure that the back door is fully 
closed. If the back door is not fully 
closed, it may open unexpectedly 
while driving, causing an acci-
dent.
■Caution while driving
●Keep the back door closed 
while driving.
If the back door is left open, it may 
hit near-by objects while driving or 
luggage may be unexpectedly 
thrown out, causing an accident.
In addition, exhaust gases may 
enter the vehicle, causing death 
or a serious health hazard. Make 
sure to close the back door before 
driving.
●Never let anyone sit in the lug-
gage compartment. In the event 
of sudden braking, sudden 
swerving or a co llision, they are 
susceptible to death or serious 
injury.
■When children are in the vehi-
cle
●Do not allow children to play in 
the luggage compartment.
If a child is accidentally locked in 
the luggage compartment, they 
could have heat exhaustion or 
other injuries. 
Page 110 of 612
1103-2. Opening, closing and locking the doors
WARNING
●Do not allow a child to open or 
close the back door.
Doing so may cause the back 
door to move unexpectedly, or 
cause the child’s hands, arms, 
head, or neck to be caught by the 
closing back door.
■Operating the back door
Observe the following precau-
tions. Failure to do so may cause 
parts of the body to be caught, 
resulting in death  or serious injury.
●Remove any heavy loads, such 
as snow and ice, from the back 
door before opening it. Failure 
to do so may cause the back 
door to suddenly shut again 
after it is opened.
●When opening or closing the 
back door, thoroughly check to 
make sure the surrounding area 
is safe.
●If anyone is in the vicinity, make 
sure they are safe and let them 
know that the back door is 
about to open or close.
●Use caution when opening or 
closing the back door in windy 
weather as it may move 
abruptly in strong wind.
●Vehicles without a power back 
door: The back door may sud-
denly shut if it is not opened 
fully. It is more difficult to open 
or close the back door on an 
incline than on a level surface, 
so beware of the back door 
unexpectedly opening or closing 
by itself. Make sure that the 
back door is fully open and 
secure before using the luggage 
compartment.
●Vehicles with a power back 
door: The back door may sud-
denly shut if it is not opened 
fully while on a steep incline. 
Make sure that the back door is 
secured before using the lug-
gage compartment.
●When closing the back door, 
take extra care to prevent your 
fingers, etc., from being caught.
●When closing the back door, 
make sure to press it lightly on 
its outer surface. If the back 
door handle is used to fully 
close the back door, it may 
result in hands or arms being 
caught.
