STARTING THE ENGINE
Before starting your vehicle, adjust your seat,
adjust the inside and outside mirrors, fasten
your seat belt, and if present, instruct all other
occupants to buckle their seat belts.
WARNING!
• When exiting the vehicle, always make
sure the ignition is in “OFF” mode, 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. Leav-
ing children in a vehicle unattended is
dangerous for a number of reasons. A child
or others could be seriously or fatally in-
jured. Children should be warned not to
touch the parking brake, brake pedal or the
transmission 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 (of a
vehicle equipped with Keyless Enter-N-
WARNING!
Go) in the ACC or ON/RUN mode. A child
could operate power windows, other con-
trols, 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.
