hicle.

Always take all vehicle keys with you
every time you leave the vehicle. The
engine can be started and electrical
equipment such as the window con-
trols can be operated. This can cause
serious injury.
·
Never leave children or people requiring
assistance alone in the vehicle when
the vehicle is locked. They could be-
come trapped in the vehicle in an emer-
gency and may not be able to get
themselves to safety. For example,
locked vehicles may be subjected to
very high or very low temperatures de-
pending on the season. This can cause
serious injuries and illness or fatalities,
especially among small children.

Never remove the vehicle key from the
ignition if the vehicle is in motion. The
steering column lock may be activated
and you will no longer be able to steer
the vehicle.

The key bit of the vehicle key must be
completely folded out and locked in
position.

Attach only light objects of up to 100
g to the vehicle key.
