resulting in death or serious injury.

Ensure that all doors are properly closed.

Do not pull the inside handle of the doors while driving.
Be especially careful for the front doors, as the door 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

wind is blowing. When opening or closing the door, hold the door handle
tightly to prepare for any unpredictable movement.
