WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious injury or
death:
ALWAYS check the surrounding
areas near your vehicle for people,
especially children, before shifting a
vehicle into D (Drive) or R (Reverse).
Before leaving the driver's seat,
always make sure the gear is in
the P (Park) position, then set the
parking brake, and place the START/
STOP button in the OFF position.
Unexpected and sudden vehicle
movement can occur if these
precautions are not followed.
Select gear positions by pressing the
shift button.
For your safety, always depress the brake
pedal while shifting to another gear.

The reduction gear button or interior
parts might get hot when a vehicle is
parked outside during hot weather.
Always be careful when the vehicle is
hot.
