WARNING
Always take all children and pets with
you or leave a responsible person with
them:
Leaving a child or a pet unattended in
a parked vehicle is dangerous. In hot
weather, temperatures inside a vehicle
can become high enough to cause
brain damage or even death.

Do not leave the key in your vehicle
with children and keep them in a place
where your children will not ¿ nd or
play with them:
Leaving children in a vehicle with the
key is dangerous. This could result in
someone being badly injured or even
killed.

Always close all the windows, lock the
doors and the liftgate/boot lid and take
the key with you when leaving your
vehicle unattended:
Leaving your vehicle unlocked is
dangerous as children could lock
themselves in a hot vehicle, which
could result in death. Also, a vehicle
left unlocked becomes an easy target
for thieves and intruders.

WARNING
After closing the doors and the liftgate/
boot lid, always verify that they are
securely closed:
Doors and the liftgate/boot lid not
securely closed are dangerous, if the
vehicle is driven with a door and the
liftgate/boot lid not securely closed,
the door and the liftgate/boot lid could
open unexpectedly resulting in an
accident.

Always con¿ rm the safety around the
vehicle before opening a door and the
liftgate/boot lid:
Suddenly opening a door and the
liftgate/boot lid is dangerous. A passing
vehicle or a pedestrian could be hit and
cause an accident.
CAUTION
Always con¿ rm the conditions around
the vehicle before opening/closing the
doors and the liftgate/boot lid and use
caution during strong winds or when
parked on an incline. Not being aware
of the conditions around the vehicle is
dangerous because ¿ ngers could get
caught in the door and the liftgate/boot
lid or a passing pedestrian could be hit,
resulting in an unexpected accident or
injury.
