Door Locks

WARNING
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 fi nd 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.
Always close both the windows and
convertible top, lock the doors 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, always verify
that they are securely closed:
Doors not securely closed are
dangerous, if the vehicle is driven with
a door not securely closed, the door
could open unexpectedly resulting in
an accident.

Doors and Locks

WARNING
Always confi rm the safety around the
vehicle before opening a door:
Suddenly opening a door is dangerous.
A passing vehicle or a pedestrian could
be hit and cause an accident.
CAUTION
Always confi rm the conditions
around the vehicle before opening/
closing the doors and use caution
during strong winds or when parked
on an incline. Not being aware of
the conditions around the vehicle
is dangerous because fi ngers could
get caught in the door or a passing
pedestrian could be hit, resulting in
an unexpected accident or injury.
If the power window does not go up
or down automatically because the
battery is dead, slowly open/close
the power window while pressing the
glass inward. Otherwise, the power
window may contact the convertible
top and the door cannot be opened/
closed resulting in damage to the
window.
