Dead Lock System*
The Dead Lock System helps to prevent theft. When the keyless entry system or the
keyless operation system has been used to lock all of the doors and the tailgate, the
Dead Lock System makes it impossible to
unlock the doors using the inside lock knobs.
CAUT,ONz Do not set the Dead Lock System when
someone is inside the vehicle. With the Dead
Lock System set, it is not possible to unlock the doors using the inside lock knobs. If you
erroneously set the Dead Lock System, un-
lock the doors using the UNLOCK switch on the remote control switch or using the
keyless operation function.Setting the system
1. Except for vehicles equipped with the
keyless operation system, remove the
key from the ignition switch.
For vehicles equipped with the keyless operation system, put the operation
mode in OFF.
2. Get out of the vehicle. Close all of the
doors and the tailgate.
3. Press the LOCK switch (A) on the re-
mote control switch, the driver

4. Press the switch again within 2 seconds.The turn-signal lamps will blink threetimes to show that the Dead Lock Sys-
tem has been set.Vehicles equipped with the keyless operation system
NOTEz Pressing the LOCK switch (A) on the re-
mote control switch once while the DeadLock System is set causes the turn-signal
lamps to blink three times, so it is possible to
confirm that the Dead Lock System is set.Cancelling the system
When the following operation is performed,
the doors and tailgate will unlock and the Dead Lock System will be simultaneously
cancelled.
z The UNLOCK switch (D) on the remote
control switch is pressed.

Vehicles equipped with the keyless operation system
NOTEzIf neither a door nor the tailgate is opened
within 30 seconds of unlocking (except us-ing the tailgate OPEN switch), the doors and
tailgate are automatically relocked and the Dead Lock System is simultaneously set
again.
z Even when it is not possible to use the key-
less entry system or keyless operation func-
tion to unlock the doors, it is possible to use the key to unlock the driver

“Child-protection” reardoors
1- Lock
2- Unlock
Child protection helps prevent the rear doors
from being opened accidentally from the in- side.
If the lever is set to the locked position, the
rear door cannot be opened using the inside handle, but only with the outside handle.
If the lever is set to the “Unlock” position,
the child protection mechanism does not
function.
CAUT,ONz When driving with a child in the rear seat,
please use the child protection to prevent ac-
cidental door opening which may cause an accident.Tailgate:ARN,NGz The luggage compartment was not de-
signed for people to ride in it. Do not let passengers ride in or let children play in
the luggage compartment. Riding or play- ing in the luggage compartment could re-
sult in a serious accident.
z It is dangerous to drive with the tailgate
open, since carbon monoxide (CO) gas
contained in engine exhaust gases can en-
ter the cabin.
You cannot see or smell CO. It can cause
unconsciousness and even death.
In addition, if the tailgate opens when driving, luggage could fall onto the road
and cause an accident.
z When opening and closing the tailgate,
make sure that there are no people nearby and that there is sufficient space behind
and above the vehicle. In addition, be
careful not to hit your head or pinch your hands, neck, etc.
z When there is a build up of snow or ice, it
should be removed before opening the tailgate. If you open the tailgate without removing it, there is a possibility that the
tailgate may close suddenly due to the weight of that snow or ice.:ARN,NGz When you open the tailgate make sure
that the tailgate is opened fully and re- mains fully open. If you only open the tail-
gate halfway there is a risk that the tail- gate may drop and slam shut. If you open
the tailgate while your vehicle is parked on an incline it is more difficult to do so
than on the flat and also it may drop and slam shut.CAUT,ONz Do not stand behind the exhaust pipe when
loading and unloading luggage. The heat
from the exhaust could lead to burns.
z To avoid damage to the tailgate, make sure
the area above and behind the tailgate is
clear before opening it.NOTEz Locking/unlocking with the central door
lock switch, the keyless entry system, or the
keyless operation function also locks/ unlocks the tailgate.

The security alarm system is for alerting the
surrounding area of suspicious behaviour to
prevent unlawful entry into the vehicle by op-
erating an alarm if a door, the tailgate or the bonnet is opened when the vehicle has not
been unlocked using the keyless entry system or the keyless operation function.
Also, the alarm will be activated if any of the
following occur.
z Attempt to an unlawful moving of the
vehicle (the vehicle inclination detection
function)
z Detection of a motion in the vehicle (the
interior intrusion detection function)
z Disconnect the battery terminal.
The security alarm system is set to “active”.
When making changes to the settings, please follow the procedure listed in the section ti-
tled “Changing the security alarm settings”

alarm system.
Doing so could cause the security alarm to malfunction.NOTEz The alarm system will not be activated if the
doors and the tailgate have been locked us-ing a key, the inside lock knob or the central

tion).
