window, always make sure there is
nobody around the power back win-
dow. You must also make sure the

bodies of all occupants are kept
completely inside the vehicle. If
someone’s neck, head or hands get
caught in a closing window, it
could result in a serious injury.
When anyone closes the power
back window, make sure he or she

the vehicle, especially with the igni-
tion key still inserted. They could
