CAUTION
■
When the vehicle is parked
●
Do not leave glasses, cigarette lighters, spray cans, or soft drink cans in the vehi-
cle when it is in the sun.

Failure to do so may result in the following:
• Gas may leak from a cigarette lighter or spray can, and may lead to a fire.
• The temperature inside the vehicle may cause the plastic lenses and plastic
material of eye glasses to deform or crack.
• Soft drink cans may fracture, causing the contents to spray over the interior of
the vehicle, and may also cause a short circuit in the vehicle’s electrical com-
ponents.
●
Always apply the parking brake, shift the shift lever to “P”, stop the engine and
lock the vehicle.

Do not leave the vehicle unattended while the engine is running.
●
Do not touch the exhaust pipe while the engine is running or immediately after
turning the engine off.

Doing so may cause burns.
●
Do not leave the engine running in an area with snow build up, or where it is
snowing. If snowbanks build up around the vehicle while the engine is running,
exhaust gases may collect and enter the vehicle. This may lead to death or a seri-
ous health hazard.
