WARNING
■
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 throwing out of the vehi-
cle, resulting in death or serious injury.
●
Ensure that all doors are properly closed and locked.
●
Do not pull the inside handle of the doors while driving.
Be especially careful for the front doors, as the doors may be opened even if the
inside lock buttons are in 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 blow-
ing. When opening or closing the door, hold the door handle tightly to prepare for any
unpredictable movement.

Operate the power window after checking to make sure that there is no possibility of
any passenger having any of their body parts caught in the window. Also, do not allow
children to operate the wireless remote control. It is possible for children and other
passengers to get caught in power window.
