Always lock the passenger’s windows using

the lock switch when children are riding in the

vehicle. Failure to follow this procedure could

result in injury to a child operating the power

window. Refer to the “Windows” section in

chapter 2.

Never leave unattended children in the vehi-

cle. They could accidentally injure themselves

or others through inadvertent operation of the

vehicle. Also, on hot or sunny days, tempera-

high enough to cause severe or possibly fatal

injuries to them.

heat-related injuries including brain damage,

Always keep the front ventilator inlet grille
