Doors
Warnings and Cautions When Using the Doors
Opening/closing of the doors must be done by an adult.
If a person's hand, foot, or neck is pinched in a door, it could result in serious injury.
Do not drive the vehicle with the door-ajar warning light/indication turned on/displayed.
Otherwise, the door may open unexpectedly and result in an accident.
Always take all children and pets with you or leave a responsible person with them.
Leaving a child or a pet unattended in a parked vehicle is dangerous. In hot weather, temperatures inside a vehicle can become high enough to cause brain damage or even death.
Do not leave the key in your vehicle with children and keep them in a place where your children will not find or play with them.
Leaving children in a vehicle with the key is dangerous. This could result in someone being badly injured or even killed.
Keep all doors locked when driving.
Unlocked doors in a moving vehicle are dangerous. Passengers can fall out if a door is accidentally opened and can more easily be thrown out in an accident.
Always close all the windows and moonroof, lock the doors, fuel-filler lid, and liftgate and take the key with you when leaving your vehicle unattended.
Leaving your vehicle unlocked is dangerous as children could lock themselves in a hot vehicle, which could result in death. Also, a vehicle left unlocked becomes an easy target for thieves and intruders.
After closing the doors and the liftgate, always verify that they are securely closed.
Doors and the liftgate not securely closed are dangerous, if the vehicle is driven with a door and the liftgate not securely closed, the door and the liftgate could open unexpectedly resulting in an accident.
Always confirm the safety around the vehicle before opening a door and the liftgate.
Suddenly opening a door and the liftgate is dangerous. A passing vehicle or a pedestrian could be hit and cause an accident.
Always confirm the conditions around the vehicle during strong winds or when parked on an incline before opening/closing the doors. Neglecting to check the conditions around the vehicle could result in fingers getting caught in the door or a passing pedestrian being hit, resulting in an unexpected accident or injury.
