• The doors should always be fully
closed and locked while the vehicle
is in motion to prevent accidental
opening of the door. Locked doors
will also discourage potential in‐
truders when the vehicle stops or
slows down.
• Be careful when opening doors and
watch for vehicles, motorcycles,
bicycles or pedestrians approach‐
ing the vehicle in the path of the
door. Opening a door when some‐
thing is approaching can cause
damage or injury.
WARNING

Leaving your vehicle unlocked can in‐
vite theft or possible harm to you or
others from someone hiding in your
vehicle while you are gone. Always

parking brake, close all windows and

hicle unattended.

jure them, or they could encounter
other harm, possibly from someone
gaining entry to the vehicle. Never
leave children or animals unattended
in your vehicle.
