period of time. It may overheat
the engine or exhaust system
and cause a fire.

Securely store items in your
vehicle. When you make a sud-
den stop or turn the steering
wheel rapidly, loose objects
may drop on the floor and it
could interfere with the opera-
tion of the foot pedals, possibly
causing an accident.

ple, especially children, before
