CAUTION
Before closing a front door make sure
other passengers are not operating a
rear door and a rear passenger's head or
hands are away from the rear door. If
the front door is closed while a
passenger is operating the rear door
handle, a hand or fingers could be
injured if the handle is forced back.
Also, a rear passenger could hit their
head against the door during access to
the rear seat.
NOTE
l
The rear door cannot be opened
while the front door is closed.
l
Make sure the front seatbelt is
unfastened before the rear door is
opened. The rear door can't be
opened with the front seatbelt
fastened because the front seatbelt
may lock.
l
If any door is left open for more than
about an hour, the front seatbelt will
lock, and the rear door cannot be
opened. If this happens, close all
doors and open the rear door again.
l
This vehicle is not equipped with
child safety locks due to the design
of the front and rear doors. The rear
doors must be closed before the front
doors, and the rear doors cannot be
opened until the front doors are
opened.
