locks” section in chapter 2.
D
Always lock the passenger’s windows using
the lock switch when children are riding in the
vehicle. Failure to follow this procedure could
result in injury to a child operating the power
window. Refer to the “Windows” section in
chapter 2.
D
Never leave unattended children in the ve-
hicle. They could accidentally injure them-
selves or others through inadvertent opera-
tion of the vehicle. Also, on hot or sunny
days, temperature in a closed vehicle could
quickly become high enough to cause severe
or possibly fatal injuries to them.
D
Help prevent young children from locking
themselves in the trunk. When leaving the ve-
hicle, either close all windows and lock all
doors or cancel the inside trunk lid release.
Also make certain that the trunk is closed. On
hot or sunny days, the temperature in a trunk
could quickly become high enough to cause
death or serious heat-related injuries includ-
ing brain damage, particularly for small chil-
dren.
Carefully read the sections “Child restraint systems”,
“SRS airbag”, and “Seatbelts” in chapter 1 of this
owner’s manual for instructions and precautions
concerning the child restraint system, seatbelt sys-
tem and SRS airbag system.

Always properly maintain the engine ex-
haust system to prevent engine exhaust gas
from entering the vehicle.

Never run the engine in a closed space,
such as a garage, except for the brief time
needed to drive the vehicle in or out of it.

Avoid remaining in a parked vehicle for a
lengthy time while the engine is running. If
that is unavoidable, then use the ventilation
fan to force fresh air into the vehicle.

Always keep the front ventilator inlet grille
free from snow, leaves or other obstructions
to ensure that the ventilation system always
works properly.
