Function to prevent the glass hatch being locked with the electronic key inside

• When all doors are being locked, closing the glass hatch with the electronic key left inside the luggage compartment will sound an alarm.

In this case, the glass hatch can be opened using the entry function.

• Even when the spare electronic key is put in the luggage compartment with all the doors locked, the key confinement prevention function can be activated so the glass hatch can be opened. In order to prevent theft, take all electronic keys with you when leaving the vehicle.

• Even when the electronic key is put in the luggage compartment with all the doors are locked, the key may not be detected depending on the places and the surrounding radio wave conditions. In this case, the key confinement prevention function cannot be activated, causing the doors to lock when the glass hatch is closed. Make sure to check where the key is before closing the glass hatch.

After closing the glass hatch

Check that the glass hatch is firmly locked. If it is not firmly locked, the rear window wiper and washer will not operate correctly.

CAUTION

While driving

• Keep the glass hatch closed while driving.

If the glass hatch is left open, it may hit near-by objects while driving or luggage may be unexpectedly thrown out, causing an accident.

In addition, exhaust gases may enter the vehicle, causing death or a serious health hazard. Make sure to close the glass hatch before driving.

• Before driving the vehicle, make sure that the glass hatch is fully closed. If the glass hatch is not fully closed, it may open unexpectedly while driving, causing an accident.

Make sure that the glass hatch is fully open and secure before using the luggage compart- ment.
