When leaving the vehicle, always remove the
key from the starter switch, take the KEY-
LESS-GO* card with you and lock the vehi-
cle. Do not leave children unattended in the

Warning!
Getting out of your vehicle with the selector
lever not fully engaged in position P is dan-
gerous. Also, when parked on an incline,
position P alone may not prevent your vehi-
cle from moving, possibly hitting people or
objects.
Always set the parking brake in addition to
shifting to position P ( page 43).
When parked on an incline, turn front wheels
towards the road curb.
