WARNING!
• Unintended movement of a vehicle could injure
those in or near the vehicle. As with all vehicles,
you should never exit a vehicle while the engine is
running. Before exiting a vehicle, always apply the

turn the engine OFF, and remove the key fob. When
the ignition is in the OFF position, the transmis-
