WARNING

Always take all children and pets with

you or leave a responsible person

with them:

Leaving a child or a pet unattended in

a parked vehicle is dangerous. In hot

weather, temperatures inside a vehicle

can become high enough to cause

brain damage or even death.

Do not leave the key in your vehicle

with children and keep them in a

place where your children will not

fi

nd or play with them:

Leaving children in a vehicle with the

key is dangerous. This could result in

someone being badly injured or even

killed.

Keep all doors locked when driving:

Unlocked doors in a moving vehicle

are dangerous. Passengers can fall out

if a door is accidentally opened and

can more easily be thrown out in an

accident.

Always close all the windows and

moonroof, lock the doors, fuel-

fi

ller

lid, and liftgate and take the key with

you when leaving your vehicle

unattended:

Leaving your vehicle unlocked is

dangerous as children could lock

themselves in a hot vehicle, which

could result in death. Also, a vehicle

left unlocked becomes an easy target

for thieves and intruders.

After closing the doors and the

liftgate/trunk lid, always verify that

they are securely closed:

Doors and the liftgate/trunk lid not

securely closed are dangerous, if the

vehicle is driven with a door and the

liftgate/trunk lid not securely closed,

the door and the liftgate/trunk lid

could open unexpectedly resulting in

an accident.

Always con

fi

rm the safety around the

vehicle before opening a door and the

liftgate/trunk lid:

Suddenly opening a door and the

liftgate/trunk lid is dangerous. A

passing vehicle or a pedestrian could

be hit and cause an accident.

CAUTION



Always con

fi

rm the conditions

around the vehicle before opening/

closing the doors and the liftgate/

trunk lid and use caution during

strong winds or when parked on an

incline. Not being aware of the

conditions around the vehicle is

dangerous because 

fi

ngers could get

caught in the door and the liftgate/

trunk lid or a passing pedestrian

could be hit, resulting in an

unexpected accident or injury.
