4-1. Before driving
WARNING
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.
When the vehicle is parked
■
Do not leave glasses, cigarette lighters, spray cans, or soft drink cans in the vehicle
●
when it is in the sun.
Doing so may result in the following:
• Gas may leak from a cigarette lighter or spray can, and may lead to a fire.
• The temperature inside the vehicle may cause the plastic lenses and plastic mate-
rial of glasses to deform or crack.
• Soft drink cans may fracture, causing the contents to spray over the interior of the
vehicle, and may also cause a short circuit in the vehicle' s electrical components.
Do not leave cigarette lighters in the vehicle. If a cigarette lighter is in a place such as
●
the glove box or on the floor, it may be lit accidentally when luggage is loaded or the
seat is adjusted, causing a fire.
Do not attach adhesive discs to the windshield or windows. Do not place containers
●
such as air fresheners on the instrument panel or dashboard. Adhesive discs or con-
tainers may act as lenses, causing a fire in the vehicle.
Do not leave a door or window open if the curved glass is coated with a metallized
●
film such as a silver-colored one. Reflected sunlight may cause the glass to act as a
lens, causing a fire.
Always apply the parking brake, shift the shift lever to P, stop the engine and lock the
●
vehicle.
Do not leave the vehicle unattended while the engine is running.
Do not touch the exhaust pipes while the engine is running or immediately after turn-
●
ing the engine off.
Doing so may cause burns.
When taking a nap in the vehicle
■
Always turn the engine off. Otherwise, if you accidentally move the shift lever or
depress the accelerator pedal, this could cause an accident or fire due to engine over-
heating. Additionally, if the vehicle is parked in a poorly ventilated area, exhaust gases
may collect and enter the vehicle, leading to death or a serious health hazard.
