WARNING!

Unintended movement of a vehicle could injure

those in or near the vehicle. As with all vehicles,

you should never exit a vehicle while the engine is

running. Before exiting a vehicle, always apply the

parking brake, shift the transmission into PARK,

turn the engine OFF, and remove the key fob. When

the ignition is in the OFF position, the transmis-

sion is locked in PARK, securing the vehicle

against unwanted movement.

It is dangerous to shift out of PARK or NEUTRAL

if the engine speed is higher than idle speed. If

your foot is not firmly pressing the brake pedal, the

vehicle could accelerate quickly forward or in re-

verse. You could lose control of the vehicle and hit

someone or something. Only shift into gear when

the engine is idling normally and your foot is

firmly pressing the brake pedal.

WARNING!

(Continued)

When leaving the vehicle, always remove the key

fob 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 park-

ing brake, brake pedal or the shift lever. Do not
leave the key fob in or near the vehicle (or in a
location accessible to children), and do not leave
the ignition (of a vehicle equipped with Keyless
Enter-N-Go™) in the ACC or ON/RUN position. A
child could operate power windows, other controls,
or move the vehicle.
