WARNING

■

To prevent an accident

Observe the following precautions while

wind is blowing. When opening or clos-

ing the door, hold the door handle tightly

to prepare for any unpredictable move-

ment.

■

Trunk

The trunk can be opened using the
trunk opener switch, entry function
or wireless remote control.
If the vehicle is equipped with a
power trunk lid, the trunk can be
closed using the trunk closer.

WARNING

Observe the following precautions.

Failure to do so may result in death or

serious injury.

■

Before driving

●

Make sure that the trunk lid is fully

closed. If the trunk lid is not fully

closed, it may open unexpectedly

while driving and hit near-by objects or

luggage in the trunk may be thrown

out, causing an accident.

●

Do not allow children to play in the

trunk.

If a child is accidentally locked in the

trunk, they could suffer from heat

exhaustion, suffocation or other inju-

ries.

●

Do not allow a child to open or close

the trunk lid.

Doing so may cause the trunk lid to

open unexpectedly, or cause the

child’s hands, head, or neck to be

caught by the closing trunk lid.

■

Important points while driving

Never let anyone sit in the trunk. In the

event of sudden braking or a collision,

they are susceptible to death or serious

injury.

■

Using the trunk

Observe the following precautions.

Failure to do so may cause parts of the

body to be caught, resulting in serious

injury.

●

Remove any heavy loads, such as

snow and ice, from the trunk lid before

opening it. Failure to do so may cause

the trunk lid to suddenly shut again

after it is opened.

●

When opening or closing the trunk lid,

thoroughly check to make sure the

surrounding area is safe.

●

If anyone is in the vicinity, make sure

they are safe and let them know that

the trunk is about to open or close.

●

Use caution when opening or closing

the trunk lid in windy weather as it may

move abruptly in strong wind.

●

Vehicles without power trunk lid: The

trunk lid may suddenly shut if it is not

opened fully. It is more difficult to open

or close the trunk lid on an incline than

on a level surface, so beware of the

trunk lid unexpectedly opening or

closing by itself. Make sure that the

trunk lid is fully open and secure

before using the trunk.

●

When closing the trunk lid, take extra

care to prevent your fingers etc. from

being caught.
