Never leave anyone (particularly a
small child) alone in your vehicle,
especially with the ignition key still

18 and “Side doors” on page 22 in this
Section.)

it is fully closed.
See “—Stowage precautions” on page 331
in Section 2 for precautions when loading
luggage.

driving. This not only keeps the
luggage from being thrown out but
also prevents exhaust gases from
entering the vehicle.

stop, tail or rear turn signal lights
while you are parked, other road
users must be warned of the pres-
ence of your vehicle by a warning
triangle or other device.
