SmartKey with KEYLESS-GO* with you and
lock the vehicle. Do not leave children unat-

unlocked vehicle. Children could release the

G
Getting out of your vehicle with the gear se-
lector lever not fully engaged in position P is
dangerous. Also, when parked on an incline,
position P alone may not prevent your vehi-
cle from moving, possibly hitting people or
objects.
Always set the parking brake in addition to
shifting to position P (

When parked on an incline, also turn front
wheels towards the road curb.
