WARNING
Do not stop the engine while the
vehicle is moving:Stopping the engine while the vehicle
is moving for any reason other than
in an emergency is dangerous.

is moving will result in reduced
braking ability due to the loss of
power braking, which could cause an
accident and serious injury.

switch the ignition to OFF, set the
parking brake and make sure the shift
lever is in P (automatic transmission) or
in 1st gear or R (manual transmission): It is important to switch the ignition

vehicle security systems and run the
battery down.
Leaving the driver's seat without
switching the ignition to OFF, setting
the parking brake and shifting the

second, 3 for the third, and 4 for the
last digit. For example, if your number
is 2323, press 1 three times (includes
