Removing Key from Parked
Vehicle
(Manual Trans. Only)
Before getting out of your vehicle, shift
into reverse by lifting the shifter ring,
and apply the parking brake. Reverse
gear is the safest gear setting for manu-
al transmission-equipped vehicles. Once
the transmission is in reverse, the igni-
tion can be turned to OFF and the key
can be removed.
See Section 2 of your Owner Manual.
Note:
Shift into reverse only after your
vehicle is stopped. Shifting into reverse
while your vehicle is moving could dam-
age your transmission.
Fueling Your Vehicle
Never fuel your vehicle while the engine
is running, and make sure to reinstall
the fuel cap securely when finished (turn
it until it clicks). Either of these situations
would allow fuel to evaporate into the
atmosphere and cause the SERVICE
ENGINE SOON lamp to illuminate.
See Section 6 of your Owner Manual.

Compensated Volume (SCV) feature
that adjusts the radio volume automati-
cally to compensate for road and wind
noise as you drive.
