Precautions
WARNING
• Before performing this procedure, remove any jewelry or objects that could damage
the paintwork and do not attempt to use tools or excessive force.
• Do not hit the vehicle too hard as dents may occur. You should use a force similar to
knocking on your neighbor's door.
• If a power door lock ever fails to function whilst you are in the vehicle, try one or
more of the following techniques to exit:
◦ Operate the door unlock feature repeatedly (both electronic and manual) whilst si
multaneously pulling on the door handle.
◦ Operate the other door locks and handles, front and rear.
◦ Lower a front window and use the mechanical key to unlock the door from out
side.
◦ Move to the cargo area and open the tailgate.
• Do not pull the inner door handle of driver's (or passenger's) door whilst the vehicle
is moving.
• The doors should always be fully closed and locked whilst the vehicle is in motion to
prevent accidental opening of the door. Locked doors will also discourage potential
intruders when the vehicle stops or slows down.
• Be careful when opening doors and watch out for vehicles, motorcycles, bicycles or
pedestrians approaching the vehicle in the path of the door. Opening a door when
something is approaching can result in an accident to cause vehicle damage or seri
ous injury.
• If children accidentally open the rear doors whilst the vehicle is in motion, they could
fall out and be severely injured or killed. To prevent children from opening the rear
doors from the inside, the rear door safety locks should be used whenever children
are in the vehicle.
• The system does not detect every obstacle approaching the vehicle exit.
• The driver and passenger are responsible for the accident occurred whilst exiting
the vehicle. Always check the surrounding before you exit the vehicle.
• Even if your vehicle is equipped with Advanced Rear Occupant Alert (ROA), always
make sure to check the rear seat before you leave the vehicle. Advanced Rear Oc
cupant Alert (ROA) may not operate when:
◦ Movement does not continue for a certain period of time or the movement is
small.
◦ A child is not seated in a child restraint system.
◦ Movement is detected in areas other than the rear seats.
◦ The rear passenger is covered with a fabric containing metallic substance such as
a blanket.
