Unattended Children and Pets:
Leaving a child or an animal
unattended in a parked vehicle is
dangerous. In hot weather,
temperatures inside a vehicle can
become high enough to cause brain
damage or even death. Always take all
children and animals with you or
leave a responsible person with them.
Keys and Children:
Leaving children in a vehicle with the
ignition key is dangerous. This could
result in someone being badly injured
or even killed. They could play with
power windows or other controls, or
even make the vehicle move. Don’t
leave the keys in your vehicle with
children.
Unlocked Doors:
Unlocked doors in a moving vehicle
are dangerous. Passengers can fall
out if a door is accidentally opened
and can more easily be thrown out in
an accident. So keep all doors locked
when driving.
NOTE
Always remove the key from the
ignition switch, close all windows, and
lock all doors when leaving your
vehicle unattended. This discourages
intruders and thieves.

Operating Power Sliding Doors:
Opening or closing the power sliding
doors while not watching the doors
move is dangerous. People or animals
could be injured when the doors open
along the rear sides and back to the

feature a door may not close
completely and, if left unnoticed,
could result in serious injury or death
if an occupant were to fall out of the
vehicle.
Always be sure that the doorway and
rear fender area is clear before
activating the power sliding doors. Be
sure to view the power sliding doors
opening or closing and make sure
that you watch them close completely.

doors are moving is dangerous. The
doors will not close completely and
this could result in serious injury or
death if an occupant were to fall out
of the vehicle. Occupants in the
vehicle will also not have full
protection in a collision. Always be
sure the doors completely close before
you shift into gear and move the
vehicle.
