WARNING!
Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or with

access to an unlocked vehicle. Allowing chil-
dren to be in a vehicle unattended is
dangerous for a number of reasons. A child or
others could be seriously or fatally injured.
Children should be warned not to touch the
parking brake, brake pedal or the transmis-
sion gear selector.
Do not leave the key fob in or near the vehicle

(or in a location accessible to children), and do
not leave the ignition (in a vehicle equipped
with push button start) in the ON/RUN posi-
tion. A child could operate power windows,
other controls, or move the vehicle.
CAUTION!
Damage to the transmission may occur if the
following precautions are not observed:
Shift into or out of PARK or REVERSE only after

the vehicle has come to a complete stop.
CAUTION!
Do not shift between PARK, REVERSE,

NEUTRAL, or DRIVE when the engine is above
idle speed.
Before shifting into any gear, make sure your

foot is firmly pressing the brake pedal.
