WARNING

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 the
moonroof, lock the doors 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, or
become trapped by climbing into the
trunk, which could result in death.
Also, a vehicle left unlocked becomes
an easy target for thieves and
intruders.

After closing the doors, always verify
that they are securely closed:

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

Always confirm the safety around the
vehicle before opening a door:

Suddenly opening a door is
dangerous. A passing vehicle or a
pedestrian could be hit and cause an
accident.

WARNING

Never allow a person to ride in the
luggage compartment:

Allowing a person to ride in the
luggage compartment is dangerous.
The person in the luggage
compartment could be seriously
injured or killed during sudden
braking or a collision.

Do not drive with the liftgate open:

Exhaust gas in the cabin of a vehicle
is dangerous. An open liftgate in a
moving vehicle will cause exhaust
gas to be drawn into the cabin. This
gas contains CO (carbon monoxide),
which is colorless, odorless, and
highly poisonous, and it can cause
loss of consciousness and death.
Moreover, an open liftgate could
cause occupants to fall out in an
accident.

CAUTION

Be careful not to apply excessive force
to the damper stay on the liftgate
such as by putting your hand on the
stay. Otherwise, the damper stay
may bend and affect the liftgate
operation.

WARNING

Do not place anything on top of the
cover:

Placing luggage or other cargo on
top of the luggage compartment
cover is dangerous. During sudden
braking or a collision, the cargo
could become a projectile that could
hit and injure someone. The vehicle
has a light weight luggage
compartment cover to keep the
contents of your luggage area out of
sight; it will not retain heavy objects
that are not tied down in an accident
such as a rollover. Tie down all heavy
objects, whether luggage or cargo,
using the tie down hooks.

Make sure luggage and cargo are
secured before driving:

Not securing cargo while driving is
dangerous as it could move or be
crushed during sudden braking or a
collision and cause injury.

CAUTION

Make sure the luggage compartment
cover is firmly secured. If it is not
firmly secured, it could unexpectedly
disengage resulting in injury.
