CAUTION
To avoid serious personal injury, you
must do the following.
Before you close the power win-
dows, always make sure there is
nobody around the power windows.
You must also make sure the
heads, hands and other parts of the
bodies of all occupants are kept
completely inside the vehicle. If
someone’s neck, head or hands get
caught in a closing window, it
could result in death or serious in-
jury. When anyone closes the power
windows, make sure he or she op-
erates the windows safely.
When small children are in the ve-
hicle, never let them use the power
window switches without supervi-
sion. Use the window lock switch to
prevent them from making unex-
pected use of the switches.
Be sure to remove the ignition key
when you leave your vehicle.
Never leave anyone (particularly a
small child) alone in your vehicle,
especially with the ignition key still
inserted. Otherwise, he/she could
use the power window switches and
get trapped in a window. Unat-
tended person (particularly a small
child) can be involved in a serious
accident.

CAUTION
Keep the trunk lid closed while driv-
ing. This not only keeps the luggage
from being thrown out but also pre-
vents exhaust gases from entering

the sub key) from gaining access to the
trunk by folding down a rear seat or
using the trunk lid lock release lever.
To protect valuables stored in the
trunk, do the following procedure.1. Coupe—Open the trunk lid and push down the security lock levers to lock
the rear seatbacks.
After locking the rear seatbacks, try fold-
ing them down to make sure they are
securely locked, otherwise someone could
get into the trunk by folding down a rear
seat.2. Close the trunk lid. Insert the master key into the keyhole and turn it to
the “LOCK” direction to deactivate
the trunk lid lock release lever.
After the operation, try pulling up the
trunk lid lock release lever to make sure
it is locked.
NOTICE

mize security of the luggage in the
trunk whenever the vehicle is unat-
tended.

may lock themselves in the vehicle
or trunk and suffer serious injuries
