3-2. Opening, closing and locking the doors
CAUTION
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.
 Before driving
 Make sure that the back door is fully closed. If the back door is not fully
closed, it may open unexpectedly while driving and hit near-by objects or
luggage in the luggage compartment may be thrown out, causing an acci-
dent.
 Do not allow children to play in the luggage compartment.
If a child is accidentally locked in the luggage compartment, they could
have heat exhaustion or other injuries.
 Do not allow a child to open or close the back door.
Doing so may cause the back door to operate unexpectedly, or cause the
child's hands, head, or neck to be caught by the closing back door.
 Important points while driving
Never let anyone sit in the luggage compartment. In the event of sudden
braking, sudden swerving or a collision, they are susceptible to death or
serious injury.
