When the remote control transmitter case is opened,
be careful to keep water, dust, etc. out. Also, do not
touch the internal components.
WA R N I N G
!
Make sure all doors are tightly closed and locked
while driving.
• Locked doors, in combination with the use of seat
belts, can help reduce the risk of ejection in an
accident.
• Locked doors can help keep passengers, especially
small children, from opening doors and falling out
of moving vehicles.
• Locked doors can help prevent outsiders from
gaining access to your vehicle when you slow or
come to a stop.

Lock your vehicle whenever you leave it. Children
who get into unlocked vehicles may not be able to
get out. Children trapped inside vehicles can quickly
be overcome by heat and suffer serious injury or
death due to heat stroke.
Never leave children unattended inside a vehicle. In
addition to the risk of heat stroke, children can acti-
vate switches and controls, resulting in an injury or
fatal accident.

!
Always keep the doors tightly closed and locked
when driving. An unlocked door may be acciden-
tally opened by a passenger, especially by a child
who could fall out. Also, if the doors are not locked,
there is a greater risk of someone being thrown from
the vehicle in an accident.
WA R N I N G
!
It is dangerous to drive with the trunk lid open since
carbon monoxide (CO) gas can enter the cabin. CO
is an invisible, odorless gas that can cause uncon-
sciousness and even death.
Do not allow children to have access to the trunk,
either by climbing into the trunk from outside or
through the inside of the vehicle. Always close the
trunk lid when your vehicle is unattended. If
trapped in the trunk, it is possible to escape from the
trunk by using the inside emergency trunk release
handle. (See “Inside emergency trunk lid release” on
page 3-18.)
CAUTION
!
Do not stand behind the exhaust pipe when loading
and unloading luggage. Heat from the exhaust could
lead to burns.

3Inside emergency trunk lid release
N00509800123
The emergency trunk lid release is designed to provide a way
to open the trunk lid from inside the trunk. It was developed to
help prevent death and serious injuries, to children who might
become locked inside a vehicle trunk.
The luminous “T” shaped yellow emergency trunk lid release
handle (see illustration) is mounted near the latch inside the
trunk.
The handle glows in the dark after exposure to sunlight.

Before starting the vehicle, be sure to confirm that
the trunk lid is closed. If the trunk lid opens while
driving the vehicle, objects stored in the trunk could
fall out onto the road.

You and your family should familiarize yourselves with the
location and operation of the emergency trunk lid release han-
dle. Children should be taught not to play in or around vehi-
cles.To open the trunk from the inside, pull the handle in the direc-
tion of the arrow on the handle. Push up on the trunk lid to
open the trunk and climb out.
WA R N I N G
!
Children should never be left unsupervised in or
around vehicles.
Unsupervised children could lock themselves in an
open vehicle or trunk.
People trapped inside a vehicle or trunk, even if only
for a short period of time, can quickly die from suf-
focation or heat stroke, especially on hot days. Inte-
rior temperatures in vehicles can rise in minutes.
Keep your vehicle doors locked and the trunk lid
closed when not in use. Keep your vehicle keys away
from children.
CAUTION
!
When loading the trunk, place your things so that
they will not touch the emergency trunk lid release
handle when you close the trunk. Otherwise you
could damage the handle and make it unusable.
Always keep the handle in its holder when driving so
that your cargo cannot accidentally bump it and
open the trunk.

What to do if you hear wind buffeting when driv-
ing
N00551400014
Wind buffeting can be described as the perception of pressure
on the ears or a booming or rumbling sound. Your vehicle may
exhibit wind buffeting when driving with one or both rear door
windows down or partially opened. This is a normal occur-
rence that can be minimized. If the buffeting occurs with the
rear door windows open, open the front door windows as well
as the rear door windows to minimize the condition.

phuric acid. If electrolyte comes in contact with your
hands, eyes, clothes, or the painted surface of your
vehicle, thoroughly flush with water. If electrolyte

oughly with water, and get prompt medical atten-
tion.
Always wear protective clothing and goggles when
