CAUTION

. Do not jam a plastic bag in or

place cellophane tape on the rear

gate stays or scratch the stays

while loading or unloading cargo.

That could cause leakage of gas

from the stays, which may result

in their inability to hold the rear

gate open.

. Be careful not to hit your head or

face on the rear gate when open-

ing or closing the rear gate and

when loading or unloading car-

go.

NOTE

Should the rear gate be unable to be

unlocked due to a discharged battery, a

fault in the door locking/unlocking

system or other causes, you can

unlock it by manually operating the

rear gate lock release lever.

For the procedure, refer to “Rear gate

(Station wagon) – if the rear gate

cannot be unlocked” section in chapter

Moonroof (if equipped)

WARNING

. Never let anyone’s hands, arms,

head or any objects protrude

from the moonroof. A person

could be seriously injured if the

vehicle stops suddenly or turns

sharply or if the vehicle is in-

volved in an accident.

To avoid serious personal injury

caused by entrapment, you must

do the following.

. Before closing the moonroof,

make sure that no one’s hands,

arms, head or other objects will

be accidentally caught in the

moonroof.

. Before leaving the vehicle, al-

ways remove the key from the

ignition switch for safety and

never allow an unattended child

to remain in the vehicle. Failure

to follow this procedure could

result in injury to a child operat-

ing the moonroof.

. Never try to check the anti-en-

trapment function by deliberately

placing part of your body in the

moonroof.

CAUTION

. Do not sit on the edge of the open

moonroof.

. Do not operate the moonroof if

falling snow or extremely cold

conditions have caused it to

freeze shut.

. The anti-entrapment function

does not operate when the moon-

roof is being tilted down. Be sure

to confirm that it is safe to do so

before tilting the moonroof down.

The moonroof has both tilting and sliding

functions.

The moonroofs operate only when the

ignition switch is in the “ON” position.
