Unintended movement of a vehicle could injure
those in or near the vehicle. As with all vehicles,
you should never exit a vehicle while the engine is
running. Before exiting a vehicle, always apply the
parking brake, shift the transmission into PARK,
turn the engine off, and remove the ignition key.
Once the key is removed, the shift lever is locked in
PARK, securing the vehicle against unwanted
movement.
•
When leaving the vehicle, always remove the igni-
tion key and lock your vehicle.

Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or with
access to an unlocked vehicle.

Do not leave the key fob in or near the vehicle, or
in a location accessible to children. A child could
