WARNING
■Close the trunk lid, be sure the seat backs are latched and do not allow
children to play inside the vehicle
Leaving the trunk lid open or leaving children in the vehicle with the keys is
dangerous. Children could open the trunk lid and climb inside resulting in
possible injury or death from heat exposure.

the rear seats, doors and the trun k, and keeping the keys where chil-
dren can not play with them
Leaving children or animals unattended in a parked vehicle is dangerous.
Babies left sleeping and children who lock themselves in cars or trunks can
die very quickly from heat prostration. Do not leave your children or pets
alone in a car at any time. Do not leave the car, the rear folding seats or the
trunk unlocked.
