3 - Before Driving  |  Doors and Locks

Rear Door Child Safety Locks


These locks are intended to help prevent children from accidentally opening the

rear doors.  Use them on both rear doors whenever a child rides in the rear seat

of the vehicle.


If you slide the child safety lock to the lock position before closing that door,

the door cannot be opened from the inside.


The door can only be opened by pulling the outside handle.










Liftgate/Boot Lid



WARNING


          Never allow a person to ride in the luggage compartment/boot:

Allowing a person to ride in the luggage compartment/boot is dangerous.

The person in the luggage compartment/boot could be seriously injured or killed during sudden braking or a collision.



          Do not drive with the liftgate/boot lid open:

Exhaust gas in the cabin of a vehicle is dangerous.

An open liftgate/boot lid in a moving vehicle will cause exhaust gas to be drawn into the cabin.


This gas contains CO (carbon monoxide), which is colourless, odourless, and highly poisonous, and it can cause loss of consciousness and death.


Moreover, an open liftgate/boot lid could cause occupants to fall out in an accident.



          Do not stack or leave loaded luggage unsecured in the luggage compartment:

Otherwise, the luggage may move or collapse, resulting in injury or an accident.

In addition, do not load luggage higher than the seatbacks.

It may affect the side or rear field of view.
