!
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 a child alone in the vehicle. In addition
to the risk of heat stroke, children can activate
switches and controls, resulting in an injury or fatal
accident.
When closing a door, make sure that the door is fully
closed and the door-ajar warning display goes out
on the information screen on the multi-information
display. If the door is ajar it could open while driv-
ing and cause an accident.
