■

Before driving

●

Make sure that the back door is

fully closed.

If the back door is not fully

closed, it may open unexpect-

edly while driving and hit near-

by objects or luggage in the lug-

gage 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 get 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

●

Keep the back door closed

while driving.

If the back door is left open, it

may hit near-by objects or lug-

gage in the luggage compart-

ment may be thrown out,

causing an accident.

142

3-2. Opening, closing and locking the doors

WARNING

●

Never let anyone sit in the lug-

gage compartment.

In the event of sudden braking,

sudden swerving or a collision,

they are susceptible to death or

serious injury.

■

Back door handles

Do not hang any object to the

back door handles.

If any object is hung, the back

door may suddenly shut, causing

parts of the body to be caught,

resulting in death or serious

injury.

■

Operating the back door

Observe the following precau-

tions.

Failure to do so may cause parts

of the body to be caught, resulting

in death or serious injury.

●

Remove any heavy loads, such

as snow and ice, from the back

door before opening it. Failure

to do so may cause the back

door to suddenly shut again

after it is opened.

●

When opening or closing the

back door, 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 back door is

about to open or close.

●

Use caution when opening or

closing the back door in windy

weather as it may move

abruptly in strong wind.

●

Vehicles without power back

door: The back door may sud-

denly shut if it is not opened

fully. It is more difficult to open

or close the back door on an

incline than on a level surface,

so beware of the back door

unexpectedly opening or closing

by itself. Make sure that the

back door is fully open and

secure before using the luggage

compartment.

●

Vehicles with power back door:

The back door may suddenly

shut if it is not opened fully,

while on a steep incline. Make

sure that the back door is

secured before using the lug-

gage compartment.

●

When closing the back door,

take extra care to prevent your

fingers, etc. from being caught.

●

Vehicles without power back

door: When closing the back

door, make sure to press it

lightly on its outer surface. If the

back door handle is used to fully

close the back door, it may

result in hands or arms being

caught.
