opening and an occupant throwing out of
the vehicle, 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 blowing. When opening or clos-
ing the door, hold the door handle tightly
to prepare for any unpredictable move-
ment.
■ Vehicle height control precautions
(vehicles with electronically modu-
lated air suspension)
In the following situations, make sure to
check the safety of the area around the
vehicle, as the vehicle height may change
and part of someone’s body may be
caught in the vehicle, possibly causing
injury or the vehicle may be damaged.
