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/trunk lid 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/trunk lid, always verify that they are securely closed.

Doors and the liftgate/trunk lid not securely closed are dangerous, if the vehicle is driven with a door and the liftgate/trunk lid not securely closed, the door and the liftgate/trunk lid could open unexpectedly resulting in an accident.

Always confirm the safety around the vehicle before opening a door and the liftgate/trunk lid.

Suddenly opening a door and the liftgate/trunk lid 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.
