Your vehicle is supplied with two kinds
of key.
1. Master key—This key works in every
lock.
2. Sub key—This key will not work in the
glove box.
To protect things locked in the glove box
when you have your vehicle parked, leave
the sub key with the attendant.
Since the doors can be locked without a
key, you should always carry a spare
master key in case you accidentally lock
your keys inside the vehicle.

door fully when refueling. Otherwise,
the fuel filler door may be damaged.
LOCKING WITH SLIDING DOOR CHILD−
PROTECTORS

door system is on, the child−protector fea-
ture is cancelled when someone pushes
one of the ”PWR DOOR” switches or
”POWER DOOR” switch of the wireless

CAUTION
When the vehicle is stopped on a
gradient, the door will slide faster
when opening or closing, so be es-
pecially careful that the passengers
do not get hit or pinched in the
doorway.
When stopping on a downward
slope, open the door fully while
passengers are getting on or off.
Do not pull the outside handle or
push the lock release button while
the door is open as the door could
suddenly close by itself causing in-
jury.
NOTICE
Do not close the sliding door by ap-
plying the brakes. Doing so could
cause the door to be damaged.
Power sliding door
Some vehicles are equipped with a power
sliding door on the right side. This system
has the following functions:
The power sliding door can be oper-
ated with the ”PWR DOOR” switches
inside the vehicle or wireless remote
control transmitter. (For details about
the wireless remote control transmitter,
see ”Wireless remote control” in this
chapter.)
If you move the sliding door to the
opening or closing direction by hand,
the sliding door will automatically and
completely open or close after you let
go of the sliding door.
CAUTION
Do not leave small children or pets
unattended in your vehicle. They
could operate the power sliding door,
and they themselves or others could
be injured. Turn off the power sliding
door system when the power sliding
door is not in use.
