CAUTION
To avoid serious personal injury, you
must do the following.
Always make sure the heads, hands
and other parts of the bodies of all

side the vehicle before you close

neck, head or hands gets caught in
a closing window, it could result in
a serious injury. When anyone

sure that he/she operates the win-
dows safely.

hicle, never let them use the power

sion. Use the window lock switch to
prevent them from making unex-
pected use of the switches.

tion key still inserted. They could
use the power window switches and
get trapped in a window. Unat-
tended children can be involved in
serious accidents.
