Doors and Locks

Door Locks

WARNING

Always con¿rm the safety around the

vehicle before opening a door and the

liftgate/boot lid:

Suddenly opening a door and the

liftgate/boot lid is dangerous. A passing

vehicle or a pedestrian could be hit and

cause an accident.

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.

CAUTION

Do not leave the key in your vehicle

with children and keep them in a place

where your children will not ¿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 con¿rm the conditions around

the vehicle before opening/closing the

doors and the liftgate/boot lid and use

caution during strong winds or when

parked on an incline. Not being aware

of the conditions around the vehicle is

dangerous because ¿ngers could get

caught in the door and the liftgate/boot

lid or a passing pedestrian could be hit,

resulting in an unexpected accident or

injury.

Always close all the windows, lock the

doors and the liftgate/boot 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.

NOTE

ꢀ ꢀ

Always stop the engine and lock the

doors. In addition, to prevent theft of

valuables, do not leave them inside

the cabin.

ꢀ ꢀ

If the key is left in the following

After closing the doors and the liftgate/

boot lid, always verify that they are

securely closed:

Doors and the liftgate/boot lid not

securely closed are dangerous, if the

vehicle is driven with a door and the

liftgate/boot lid not securely closed,

the door and the liftgate/boot lid could

whenever a child rides in the rear seat of

the vehicle.

WARNING

Never allow a person to ride in the

Exhaust gas in the cabin of a vehicle

is dangerous. An open liftgate/boot lid

in a moving vehicle will cause exhaust

gas to be drawn into the cabin. This

gas contains CO (carbon monoxide),

which is colourless, odourless, and

highly poisonous, and it can cause loss

of consciousness and death. Moreover,

an open liftgate/boot lid could cause

occupants to fall out in an accident.

Do not stack or leave loaded

luggage unsecured in the luggage

WARNING

Do not place anything on top of the

Placing luggage or other cargo on top

of the luggage compartment cover is

dangerous. During sudden braking

or a collision, the cargo could become

a projectile that could hit and injure

someone. The vehicle has a light

weight luggage compartment cover to

keep the contents of your luggage area

out of sight; it will not retain heavy

objects that are not tied down in an

accident such as a rollover. Tie down

all heavy objects, whether luggage or

cargo, using the tie down hooks.

This cover can be removed for more room.

1. Remove the straps from the hooks.

2. Lift the end of the luggage

compartment cover a little, pull it

outward, and remove it from the pins.

Make sure luggage and cargo are

secured before driving:

Not securing cargo while driving

is dangerous as it could move or be

crushed during sudden braking or a

collision and cause injury.

CAUTION

Make sure the luggage compartment

cover is ¿rmly secured. If it is not
