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 Lock section in
chapter 1.

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 Window section in chapter 1.

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.
Carefully read the sections Child Restraint System, SRS AIRBAG, 3-point
Type Seat Belts and 2-point Type Seat Belts in chapter 2 of this owner’s
manual for instructions and precautions concerning the child restraint
system, seat belt system and SRS AIRBAG system.
ENGINE EXHAUST GAS (CARBON MONOXIDE)
WARNING

Never inhale engine exhaust gas. Engine exhaust gas contains
carbon monoxide, a colorless and odorless gas which is danger-
ous, or even lethal, if inhaled.
D
Always properly maintain the engine exhaust system to pre-
vent engine exhaust gas from entering the vehicle.
D
Never run the engine in a closed space, such as a garage, ex-
cept for the brief time needed to drive the vehicle in or out of it.
D
Avoid remaining in a parked vehicle for a lengthy time while
the engine is running. If that is unavoidable, then use the ventila-
tion fan to force fresh air into the vehicle.
D
Always keep the front ventilator inlet grille free from snow,
leaves or other obstructions to ensure that the ventilation system
always works properly.
