WARNING!
• For personal security reasons and safety in an accident, lock the vehicle doors
when you drive, as well as when you park and leave the vehicle.
• When leaving the vehicle, always remove the key fob from the ignition and lock your vehicle.
• Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or with access to an unlocked vehicle.
• Allowing children to be in a vehicle unattended is dangerous for a number of reasons. A child or others could be seriously or fatally injured. Children should be warned not to touch the parking brake, brake pedal or the shift lever.
• Do not leave the key in or near the vehicle. A child could operate power windows, other controls, or move the vehicle.
