or others from someone hiding in
your vehicle while you are gone.
Always remove the ignition key,
engage the parking brake, close all
windows and lock all doors when
leaving your vehicle unattended.
WARNING
- Unattended
children
An enclosed vehicle can become
extremely hot, causing death or
severe injury to unattended chil-
dren or animals who cannot escape
the vehicle. Furthermore, children
might operate features of the vehi-
cle that could injure them, or they
could encounter other harm, possi-
bly from someone gaining entry to
the vehicle. Never leave children or
animals unattended in your vehicle.
WARNING -
Doors
 The doors should always be fully
closed and locked while the vehi-
cle is in motion to prevent acci-
dental opening of the door.
Locked doors will also discour-
age potential intruders when the
vehicle stops or slows.
 Be careful when opening doors
and watch for vehicles, motorcy-
cles, bicycles or pedestrians
approaching the vehicle in the
path of the door. Opening a door
when something is approaching
can cause damage or injury.

Features of your vehicle
Emergency trunk safety release
Your vehicle is equipped with an emer-
gency trunk release cable located inside
the trunk. The lever glows in the dark
when the trunk lid is closed. If someone
is inadvertently locked in the trunk,
pulling this handle will release the trunk
latch mechanism and open the trunk.
Trunk lid control switch
The trunk lid control switch is used to
prevent unauthorized access to the
trunk.
 When the trunk lid control switch is
UNLOCK position ( ), the trunk can

button and the transmitter (or smart

OYF049013N
WARNING
 No one should be allowed to
occupy the trunk of the vehicle at
any time. If the trunk is partially
or totally latched and the person
is unable to get out, severe injury
or death could occur due to lack
of ventilation, exhaust fumes and
rapid heat build-up, or because of
exposure to cold weather condi-
tions. The trunk is also a highly
dangerous location in the event
of a crash because it is not a pro-
tected occupant space but mere-
ly a part of the vehicle’s crush
zone.
 Your vehicle should be kept
locked and keys be kept out of
the reach of children. Parents
should teach their children about
the dangers of playing in trunks.

Features of your vehicle
Power windows
The ignition switch must be in the ON
position for power windows to operate.
Each door has a power window switch
that controls the door's window. The driv-
er has a power window lock switch which
can block the operation of passenger
windows. The driver’s door has a master
power window switch that controls all the
windows in the vehicle. The power win-
dows can be operated for approximately
30 seconds after the ignition key is
removed or turned to the ACC or LOCK
position. However, if the front doors
open, the power windows cannot be
operated within the 30 second period
after ignition key removal.
✽
✽
NOTICE
While driving with the rear windows
down or with the sunroof (if equipped) in
an open (or partially open) position, your
vehicle may demonstrate a wind buffet-
ing or pulsation noise. This noise is a
normal occurrence and can be reduced
or eliminated by taking the following
actions. If the noise occurs with one or
both of the rear windows down, partially
lower both front windows approximate-
ly one inch. If you experience the noise
with the sunroof open, slightly reduce the
size of the sunroof opening.

or pull up the front portion of the corre-
sponding switch to the first detent posi-
tion (5).

Auto up/down window (if equipped)
Pressing or pulling up the power window
switch momentarily to the second detent
position (6) completely lowers or lifts the
window even when the switch is released.
To stop the window at the desired position
while the window is in operation, momen-
tarily pull the switch in the direction oppo-
site of the window’s movement.
If the power window is not operated cor-
rectly, the automatic power window system
must be reset as follows:
1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON posi-
tion.
2. Close driver’s windows and continue
pulling up on the power window switch
for at least 1 second after the window is
completely closed.
Automatic reversal
If the upward movement of the window is
blocked by an object or part of the body,
the window will detect the resistance and
will stop upward movement. The window
will then lower approximately 11.8 in. (30
cm) to allow the object to be cleared.
If the window detects the resistance
while the power window switch is pulled
up continuously, the window will stop
upward movement then lower approxi-
mately 1 in. (2.5 cm). If the power window
switch is pulled up continuously again
within 5 seconds after the window is low-
ered by the automatic window reversal
feature, the automatic window reversal
will not operate.
✽
✽
NOTICE
The automatic reverse feature for the
driver’s window is only active when the
“auto up” feature is used by fully
pulling up the switch. The automatic
reverse feature will not operate if the
window is raised using the halfway posi-
tion on the power window switch.
WARNING
Always check for obstructions
before raising any window to avoid
injuries or vehicle damage. If an
object less than 0.16 in. (4 mm) in
diameter is caught between the
window glass and the upper win-
dow channel, the automatic reverse
window may not detect the resist-
ance and will not stop and reverse
direction.

switch on the driver's door and
the individual door window
switch in opposing directions at
the same time. If this is done, the
window will stop and cannot be
opened or closed.

cause the vehicle to move, entan-
gle themselves in the windows,
or otherwise injure themselves or
others.
 Always double check to make
sure all arms, hands, head and
other obstructions are safely out
of the way before closing a win-
dow.
 Do not allow children to play with
the power windows. Keep the dri-
ver’s door power window lock
switch in the LOCK position

WARNING
 Before closing the hood, ensure
that all obstructions are removed
from the hood opening. Closing
the hood with an obstruction
present in the hood opening may
result in property damage or
severe personal injury.

WARNING
- Refueling
 If pressurized fuel sprays out, it
can cover your clothes or skin
and thus subject you to the risk
of fire and burns. Always remove
the fuel cap carefully and slowly.
If the cap is venting fuel or if you
hear a hissing sound, wait until
the condition stops before com-
pletely removing the cap.
 Do not "top off" after the nozzle
automatically shuts off when
refueling.
 Tighten the cap until it clicks one
time, otherwise the Malfunction
Indicator Light will illuminate.
 Always check that the fuel cap is
installed securely to prevent fuel
spillage in the event of an acci-
dent.
