Door Locks

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 both 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 both the windows and
convertible top, 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, 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.

CAUTION



Always confirm the conditions around
the vehicle before opening/closing the
doors and use caution during strong
winds or when parked on an incline. Not
being aware of the conditions around
the vehicle is dangerous because fingers
could get caught in the door or a passing
pedestrian could be hit, resulting in an
unexpected accident or injury.



If the power window does not go up or
down automatically because the battery
is dead, slowly open/close the power
window while pressing the glass inward.
Otherwise, the power window may
contact the convertible top/roof and the
door cannot be opened/closed resulting
in damage to the window.

NOTE



Always stop the engine and lock the
doors. In addition, to prevent theft of
valuables, do not leave them inside the
cabin.
