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 and
sunroof, lock the doors and the liftgate
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.

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

WARNING
Always con¿ rm the safety around the
vehicle before opening a door and the
liftgate:
Suddenly opening a door and the
liftgate 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 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 or a
passing pedestrian could be hit, resulting
in an unexpected accident or injury.
