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 open-
ing or closing the door, hold the door
handle tightly to prepare for any
unpredictable movement.

control, key or mechanical key
and operating the power win-
dows, moon roof (if equipped) or
panoramic moon roof (if

Operate the power window, moon
roof or panoramic moon roof after
checking to make sure that there is no
possibility of any passenger having
any of their body parts caught in the
side window, moon roof or panoramic
moon roof. Also, do not allow children
to operate the wireless remote con-
trol, key or mechanical key. It is possi-
ble for children and other passengers
to get caught in the side window,
moon roof or panoramic moon roof.
