WARNING

Observe the following precautions. 
Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.

■

Closing the windows

●

The driver is responsible for all the power window operations, including the
operation for the passengers. In order to prevent accidental operation,
especially by a child, do not let a child operate the power windows. It is
possible for children and other passengers to have body parts caught in
the power window. Also, when riding with a child, it is recommended to use
the window lock switch. (

→P. 173)

●

Check to make sure that all passengers do not have any part of their body
in a position where it could be caught when a window is being operated.

●

When using the wireless remote control, key or mechanical key and oper-
ating the power windows, operate the power window after checking to
make sure that there is no possibility of any passenger having any of their
body parts caught in the window. Also do not let a child operate window by
the wireless remote control, key or mechanical key. It is possible for chil-
dren and other passengers to get caught in the power window.

●

When exiting the vehicle, turn the engine switch off, carry the key and exit
the vehicle along with the child. There may be accidental operation, due to
mischief, etc., that may possibly lead to an accident.

■

only)

●

Never use any part of your body to intentionally activate the jam protection
function.
