possible to remove the key fob from
the vehicle. The engine will remain
running and the instrument cluster will
indicate the absence of the key fob
when the door is closed.

possible injury or damage.
When leaving the vehicle, always make
sure the ignition is in the OFF mode,
remove the key fob from the vehicle, and
lock your vehicle.

Always fully apply the parking brake
when leaving your vehicle, or it may roll and
cause damage or injury. Also be certain to
leave the transmission in PARK. Failure to
do so may allow the vehicle to roll and
cause damage or injury.

engaged, or repeated use of the parking
brake to slow the vehicle may cause
serious damage to the brake system.
Caution!
If the Brake System Warning Light remains
