Starting and operating
WARNING
When the vehicle is facing uphill, the front
wheels should be turned away from the
curb.
. Never leave unattended children
or pets in the vehicle. They could
accidentally injure themselves or
others through inadvertent operation of the vehicle. Also, on
hot or sunny days, the temperature in a closed vehicle could
quickly become high enough to
cause severe or possibly fatal
injuries to people.
. Do not park the vehicle over
flammable materials such as dry
grass, waste paper or rags, as
they may burn easily if they come
near hot engine or exhaust system parts.
. Be sure to stop the engine if you
take a nap in the vehicle. If
engine exhaust gas enters the
passenger compartment, occupants in the vehicle could die
from carbon monoxide (CO) contained in the exhaust gas.
CAUTION
When the vehicle is facing downhill, the
front wheels should be turned into the
curb.
. Always set the parking brake
firmly when parking your vehicle.
Never rely on the transmission
alone to hold the vehicle.
. If your vehicle has a front underspoiler and rear underspoiler (if
equipped), pay attention to
blocks and other obstructions
on the ground when parking.
The underspoilers could be damaged by contact with them.
