NOTICE
When doors are frozen shut, use warm water around
the door edges to melt any ice. Do not try to force
them open, as this can damage the rubber trim
around the doors.
Do not force the door open or closed if the window
has frozen.
This vehicle has a mechanism that automatically
lowers the window when the door is opened.
If the window cannot be lowered, it may scrape
against the vehicle body when the door is opened or
closed.
If the window has frozen, pour warm water all over it
to melt the ice.
When done, wipe dry to avoid further freezing.
Do not pour warm water into the key cylinder.
You will be unable to insert the key if the water
freezes in the hole.
