Warnings and Cautions
When Using the Doors
WARNING
Opening/closing of the doors must be
done by an adult.
If a person's hand, foot, or neck is
pinched in a door, it could result in
serious injury.
Do not drive the vehicle with the
door-ajar warning light/indication
turned on/displayed.
Otherwise, the door may open
unexpectedly and result in an accident.
Always take all children and pets with
you or leave a responsible person
with them.
Leaving a child or a pet unattended in
a parked vehicle is dangerous. In hot
weather, temperatures inside a vehicle
can become high enough to cause
brain damage or even death.
Do not leave the key in your vehicle
with children and keep them in a
place where your children will not
find or play with them.
Leaving children in a vehicle with the
key is dangerous. This could result in
someone being badly injured or even
killed.
Keep all doors locked when driving.
Unlocked doors in a moving vehicle
are dangerous. Passengers can fall out
if a door is accidentally opened and
can more easily be thrown out in an
accident.
Always close all the windows and
moonroof, lock the doors, fuel-filler
lid, and liftgate/trunk lid and take the
key with you when leaving your
vehicle unattended.
Leaving your vehicle unlocked is
dangerous as children could lock
themselves in a hot vehicle, which
could result in death. Also, a vehicle
left unlocked becomes an easy target
for thieves and intruders.
After closing the doors and the
liftgate/trunk lid, always verify that
they are securely closed.
Doors and the liftgate/trunk lid not
securely closed are dangerous, if the
vehicle is driven with a door and the
liftgate/trunk lid not securely closed,
the door and the liftgate/trunk lid
could open unexpectedly resulting in
an accident.
Always confirm the safety around the
vehicle before opening a door and the
liftgate/trunk lid.
Suddenly opening a door and the
liftgate/trunk lid is dangerous. A
passing vehicle or a pedestrian could
be hit and cause an accident.
CAUTION
Always confirm the conditions around
the vehicle during strong winds or
when parked on an incline before
opening/closing the doors. Neglecting
to check the conditions around the
vehicle could result in fingers getting
caught in the door or a passing
pedestrian being hit, resulting in an
unexpected accident or injury.
