WARNING
■
When parking the vehicle
Do not leave a child in the vehicle alone.
The parking brake may be released unin-
tentionally by a child and there is the dan-
ger of the vehicle moving that may lead
to an accident resulting in death or seri-
ous injury.
■
Parking brake switch
Do not set any objects near the parking
brake switch. Objects may interfere with
the switch and may lead the parking
brake to unexpectedly operate.
■
Parking brake automatic lock func-
tion
Never use the automatic parking brake
engagement function in place of normal
parking brake operation. This function is
designed to reduce the risk of a collision
due to the driver forgetting to engage the
parking brake. Over-reliance on this
function to park the vehicle safely may
lead to an accident resulting in death or
serious injury.
NOTICE

When parking the vehicle
Before you leave the vehicle, shift the
shift position to P, set the parking brake
