D Always use the child safety locks whenever a child rides in the
rear seat. Serious injury could result if a child accidentally
opened the door and fell out. Refer to the Door Lock section in
chapter 1.
D Always lock the passenger’s windows using the lock switch
when children are riding in the vehicle. Failure to follow this pro-
cedure could result in injury to a child operating the power win-
dow. Refer to the Power Window section in chapter 1.
D Never leave unattended children in the vehicle. They could ac-
cidentally injure themselves or others through inadvertent opera-
tion of the vehicle. Also, on hot or sunny days, temperature in a
closed vehicle could quickly become high enough to cause se-
vere or possibly fatal injuries to them.
Carefully read the sections Child Restraint System, SRS AIRBAG, 3-point
Type Seat Belts and 2-point Type Seat Belts in chapter 2 of this owner’s
manual for instructions and precautions concerning the child restraint
system, seat belt system and SRS AIRBAG system.
ENGINE EXHAUST GAS (CARBON MONOXIDE)
WARNING
D Never inhale engine exhaust gas. Engine exhaust gas contains
carbon monoxide, a colorless and odorless gas which is danger-
ous, or even lethal, if inhaled.
D Always properly maintain the engine exhaust system to pre-
vent engine exhaust gas from entering the vehicle.
D Never run the engine in a closed space, such as a garage, ex-
cept for the brief time needed to drive the vehicle in or out of it.
D Avoid remaining in a parked vehicle for a lengthy time while
the engine is running. If that is unavoidable, then use the ventila-
tion fan to force fresh air into the vehicle.
D Always keep the front ventilator inlet grille free from snow,
leaves or other obstructions to ensure that the ventilation system
always works properly.
