NOTE:
If you try to remove the key before you place the
gear selector in PARK, the key may become trapped tempo-
rarily in the ignition. If this occurs, place the gear selector in
PARK, rotate the key clockwise slightly, and then remove the
key as described above. If a malfunction occurs, the system
will trap the key in the ignition to warn you that this safety
feature is inoperable. The engine can be started and stopped
but the key cannot be removed until you obtain service.
WARNING!
Before exiting a vehicle, always shift the automatic
transmission into PARK or the manual transmission
into FIRST gear or REVERSE, apply the parking
brake, turn the engine OFF, 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 gear selector.
Do not leave the key fob in or near the vehicle, or in
a location accessible to children. A child could oper-
ate power windows, other controls, or move the
vehicle.
Do not leave children or animals inside parked
vehicles in hot weather. Interior heat build-up may
cause serious injury or death.
