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

The rear door cannot be opened while the
front door is closed.

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

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.

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.
