CAUTION
■
To prevent an accident
Observe the following precautions while driving the vehicle.
Failure to do so may result in a door opening and an occupant falling out, resulting
in death or serious injury.
●
Always use a seat belt.
●
Always lock all the doors.
●
Ensure that all the doors are properly closed.
●
Do not pull the inside handle of the doors while driving.
The doors may be opened and the passengers are thrown out of the vehicle and it
may result in serious injury or death.
Be especially careful with the front doors, as the doors may be opened even if the
inside lock buttons are in the locked position.
●
Set the rear door child-protector locks when children are seated in the rear seats.
■
When opening or closing a door
Check the surroundings of the vehicle such as whether the vehicle is on an incline,
whether there is enough space for a door to open and whether a strong wind is
blowing. When opening or closing the door, hold the door handle tightly to prepare
for any unpredictable movement.
