or to others by starting the engine,
activating equipment such as the
electric windows or locking the
doors, for example.
Also, in hot and/or sunny weather,
please remember that the tempera-
ture inside the passenger compart-
ment increases very quickly.

locked, the hazard warning lights
flash once and then light up for ap-
proximately four seconds, and a beep
sounds in confirmation.
