REVERSE, and remove the Key Fob from the ignition.When leaving the vehicle,
always lock your vehicle.
•Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or with access to an unlocked vehicle.
•Allowing children to be in a vehicle unattended is dangerous for a number of rea-
sons.A child or others could be seriously or fatally injured.Children should be
warned not to touch the parking brake, brake pedal or the shift lever.
•Do not leave the Key Fob in or near the vehicle, or in a location accessible to
child.A child could operate power windows, other controls, or move the vehicle.
Doors Lock With One Or More Doors Open
•It is possible locking the vehicle through the RKE, internal button or external key pawl,
also if one or more doors are open.At lock command request, LED is switched ON.
At closing of the last door, the vehicle maintains the central locking status if key is not
inserted in Ignition Device, otherwise the vehicle will be unlocked and the LED will be
switched OFF.
NOTE:
If the key is not inserted in the ignition switch, but is inside the vehicle, the system does
not recognize the presence of the key and after the closing of last door, the vehicle re-
mains locked.
SEAT BELT
Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat and using a seat belt properly.
•Position the lap belt across your thighs, below your abdomen.To remove slack in the
lap portion, pull up a bit on the shoulder belt.To loosen the lap belt if it is too tight,
tilt the latch plate and pull on the lap belt.A snug belt reduces the risk of sliding
under the belt in a collision.
•Position the shoulder belt on your chest so that it is comfortable and not resting on
your neck.The retractor will withdraw any slack in the belt.
A shoulder belt placed behind you will not protect you from injury during a collision.
You are more likely to hit your head in a collision if you do not wear your shoulder belt.
The lap and shoulder belt are meant to be used together.
A belt that is too loose will not protect you properly.In a sudden stop you could move
too far forward, increasing the possibility of injury.Wear your seat belt snugly.
