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 fi 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.

Keep all doors locked when driving: Unlocked doors in a moving vehicle
are dangerous. Passengers can fall out
if a door is accidentally opened and
can more easily be thrown out in an
accident.

Always close all the windows and
moonroof, 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.

Always confi 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 confi 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 fi ngers could
get caught in the door and the liftgate
or a passing pedestrian could be hit,
resulting in an unexpected accident or
injury.
