WARNING
Keep vehicle doors and the luggage com-
partment locked and keep keys out of a
child's reach. Unsupervised children could
lock themselves in an open trunk and risk
injury. Children should be taught not to play
in vehicles.
On hot days, the temperature in the trunk or
vehicle interior can rise very quickly. Expo-
sure of people to these high temperatures
for even a short period of time can cause
heat-related injury or death. Small children
are particularly at risk.
WARNING
• When the backrest is returned to the
upright position, check that it is properly
locked in place. Return the head
restraints to the upright position.
• Long loads should always be securely
anchored to help avoid injury in the
event of a sudden stop.
• Always turn the engine off and apply the
parking brake when loading/unloading
the vehicle.
• Place the transmission in the P position
(automatic transmission) to help pre-
vent inadvertent movement of the gear
selector.
• The vehicle features a 60/40 split fold-
down rear seat. This function is per-
formed by handles inside the trunk, and
also provides a means for children and
adults to enter the passenger compart-
ment in the event they become locked
inside the trunk.
• Adults are advised to familiarize them-
selves with the operation and location
of the release handles.
• To fold down the rear seats from inside
the trunk, pull the release control han-
dles located on either side of the trunk.
