CAUTION

■Jam protection function

Observe the following precautions. Failure to do so may cause serious injury. Never use any part of your body to intentionally activate the jam protection function. The jam protection function may not work depending on the shape of the object that is caught. Be careful not to get fingers or other body parts caught.

■Cautions regarding the Automatic running boards

Observe the following precautions. Failure to do so may cause serious injury. ●Check to make sure that all passengers and people in the vehicle’s sur- rounding area do not have a hand on a board or any part of their body in a position where it could be caught between a board and the vehicle when an Automatic running board is being operated.

●Confirm that the boards have completely extended or retracted before get- ting in or out of the vehicle. If someone gets in or out of the vehicle during Automatic running board operation, the boards may stop extending or retracting.

●Drive the vehicle after confirming that the boards have completely retracted. Driving with a board extended is dangerous because it may hit other people or objects.

●Take care when pressing the Automatic running boards switch. The board

will extend or retract and may hit other people or objects.

●Always check that the Automatic running boards switch is turned off when

cleaning a board.

●Do not allow children to operate the Automatic running boards.

Operating Automatic running boards in a manner so that a board contacts someone can cause serious injury, and in some instances, even death.

CAUTION

■Operating the back door

Observe the following precautions. Failure to do so may cause parts of the body to be caught, resulting in death or serious injury. ●Remove any heavy loads, such as snow and ice, from the back door before opening it. Failure to do so may cause the back door to suddenly shut again after it is opened.

●When opening or closing the back door, thoroughly check to make sure

the surrounding area is safe.

●If anyone is in the vicinity, make sure they are safe and let them know that

the back door is about to open or close.

●Use caution when opening or closing the back door in windy weather as it

may move abruptly in strong wind.

●The back door may suddenly shut if it is not opened fully. It is more difficult to open or close the back door on an incline than on a level surface, so beware of the back door unexpectedly opening or closing by itself. Make sure that the back door is fully open and secure before using the luggage com- partment.

●When closing the back door, take extra care to prevent your fingers etc. from being caught.

●When closing the back door, make sure to press it lightly on its outer surface. If the back door handle or back door strap is used to fully close the back door, it may result in hands or arms being caught.

■When adjusting the seat position

●Take care when adjusting the seat position to ensure that other passen-

gers are not injured by the moving seat.
