J Parking tips
WARNING
D Never leave unattended children or pets in the vehicle. They
could accidentally injure themselves or others through inadver-
tent operation of the vehicle. Also, on hot or sunny days, the tem-
perature in a closed vehicle could quickly become high enough
to cause severe or possibly fatal injuries to them.
D Do not park the vehicle over flammable materials such as dry
grass, waste paper or rags, as they may burn easily if they come
near hot engine or exhaust system parts.
D Always stop the engine if you take a nap in the vehicle. If en-
gine exhaust gas enters the passenger compartment, occupants
in the vehicle could die from carbon monoxide (CO) contained in
the exhaust gas.
