(Smart Key)
If the smart key is in the vehicle
and any door is open, the doors
will not lock even though the lock
button (2) is pressed.
Opening a door when something
is approaching may cause dam-
age or injury. Be careful when
opening doors and watch for
vehicles, motorcycles, bicycles
or pedestrians approaching the
vehicle in the path of the door.
CAUTION
Do not leave children or animals
unattended in your vehicle. An
enclosed vehicle can become
extremely hot, causing death or
serious injury to unattended
children or animals who cannot
escape the vehicle. Children
might operate features of the
vehicle that could injure them,
or they could encounter other
harm, possibly from someone
gaining entry to the vehicle.
WARNING
Always secure your vehicle.
Leaving your vehicle unlocked
increases the potential risk to
you or others from someone
hiding in your vehicle.
To secure your vehicle, while
depressing the brake, move the
shift lever to the the 1st gear
when the vehicle is parked on a
uphill and to R (Reverse) on a
downhill, engage the parking
brake, and place the ignition
switch in the LOCK/OFF posi-
tion, close all windows, lock all
doors, and always take the key
with you.

The doors should always be
fully closed and locked while
the vehicle is in motion. If the
doors are unlocked, the risk of
being thrown from the vehicle
in a crash is increased.

cle is moving.
