D
Always use the child safety locks whenever a child rides in the
rear seat. Serious injury could result if a child accidentally
opened the door and fell out. Refer to the “Door locks” section in
chapter 2.
D
Always lock the passenger’s windows using the lock switch
when children are riding in the vehicle. Failure to follow this pro-
cedure could result in injury to a child operating the power win-
dow. Refer to the “Power windows” section in chapter 2.
D
Never leave unattended children in the vehicle. They could ac-
cidentally injure themselves or others through inadvertent opera-
tion of the vehicle. Also, on hot or sunny days, temperature in a
closed vehicle could quickly become high enough to cause se-
vere or possibly fatal injuries to them.
D
Help prevent young children from locking themselves in the
trunk. When leaving the vehicle, either close all windows and lock
all doors or cancel the inside trunk lid release. Also make certain
that the trunk is closed. On hot or sunny days, the temperature in
a trunk could quickly become high enough to cause death or seri-
ous heat-related injuries including brain damage, particularly for
small children.
Carefully read the sections “Child restraint systems”, “SRS airbag”, and
“Seatbelts” in chapter 1 of this owner’s manual for instructions and pre-
cautions concerning the child restraint system, seatbelt system and SRS
airbag system.
