GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE 17
(Continued)
NOTE:
For further information, refer to “Starting The
Engine” in “Starting And Operating.”
Vehicle On Message
When opening the driver's door and the ignition
is in ON/RUN (engine not running) mode, a
chime will sound to remind you to place the
ignition in the OFF position. In addition to the
chime, the Vehicle On message will display in
the cluster.
NOTE:
The power window switches and power sunroof
(if equipped) will remain active for three
minutes after the ignition is placed in the OFF
position. Opening either front door will cancel
this feature. The timing for this feature is
programmable.
Never remove the mechanical key while the
vehicle is moving, as the steering wheel will
automatically lock as soon as the key is
turned. This also applies to vehicles that
are being towed.
CAUTION!
An unlocked vehicle is an invitation for
thieves. Always remove key fob from the
vehicle and lock all doors when leaving the
vehicle unattended.
WARNING! (Continued)
WARNING!
Before exiting a vehicle, always shift the
automatic transmission into PARK, apply
the parking brake, place the engine in the
OFF position, remove the key fob from the
vehicle and lock your vehicle. Always make
sure the keyless ignition is in OFF position,
remove the key fob from the vehicle and
lock the vehicle.
Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or
with access to an unlocked vehicle.
Allowing children to be in a vehicle unat-
tended 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 chil-
dren, and do not leave the ignition in the
ON/RUN mode. A child could operate 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.
CAUTION!
An unlocked vehicle is an invitation for
thieves. Always remove key fob from the
vehicle and lock all doors when leaving the
vehicle unattended.
