WARNING
Doors
僅 The doors should always be fully
closed and locked whilst the vehicle is
in motion to prevent accidental open-
ing of the door. Locked doors will also
discourage potential intruders when
the vehicle stops or slows down.
僅 Be careful when opening doors and
watch out for vehicles, motorcycles,
bicycles or pedestrians approaching
the vehicle in the path of the door.
Opening a door when something is
approaching can result in an accident
to cause vehicle damage or serious
injury.
WARNING
Unlocked vehicles
Leaving your vehicle unlocked can invite
theft or possible harm to you or others
from someone hiding in your vehicle
whilst you are gone. Always remove the
ignition key, engage the parking brake,
close all windows and lock all doors
when leaving your vehicle unattended.
WARNING
Unattended children, the elderly or
pets
An enclosed vehicle can become
extremely hot, causing death or severe
injury such as heatstroke to unattended
children, the elderly or pets who cannot
escape the vehicle. When left or trapped
in a hot vehicle, make sure to stay
hydrated and avoid sun exposure
through the vehicle's windscreen. Fur-
thermore, children might operate fea-
tures of the vehicle that could injure
them, or they could encounter other
harm, possibly from someone gaining
entry to the vehicle. Never leave children
or animals unattended in your vehicle.
