!

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
lever. (See “Inside emergency trunk lid release” on
page 3-62.)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
N00509800178
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 emergency trunk lid release lever (see illustration) is
mounted on the trunk lid.
The lever glows in the dark after exposure to sunlight.You and your family should familiarize yourselves with the
location and operation of the emergency trunk lid release lever.
Children should be taught not to play in or around vehicles.
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.

ing: Seat belts and seats

(with children in the rear seat, in appropriate restraints),
and that all the doors are locked.

8. After the engine is started, disconnect the cables in the
reverse order from the way you connected them.
As your vehicle has anti-lock brakesIf you drive your vehicle with a low battery charge, after the
engine has been started by using jumper cables, the engine may
misfire. This can cause the anti-lock braking system warning
light to blink on and off. This is only due to the low battery
voltage. It is not a problem with the brake system. If this hap-
pens, fully charge the battery and ensure the charging system is
operating properly.
