CAUTION

Caution while driving

Keep the back door and back window closed while driving. If the back door or the back window is left open, the back door may hit nearby objects while driving or luggage may be unexpectedly thrown out, causing an accident.

In addition, exhaust gases may enter the vehicle, causing death or a serious health hazard. Make sure to close the back door and back window before driving.

Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.

Closing a power back window on someone can cause serious injury, and in some instances, even death.

Jam protection function

• Never use any part of your body to intentionally activate the jam protection function.

• The jam protection function may not work if something gets caught just before the window fully closes.
