WARNING
•
Keep vehicle doors and trunk locked
and keep keys out of a child's reach.
Unsupervised children could lock
themselves in an open trunk and risk
injury. Children should be taught not to
play in vehicles.
•
On hot days, the temperature in the
trunk or vehicle interior can rise very
quickly. Exposure of people to these
high temperatures for even a short
period of time can cause heat-related
injury or death. Small children are par-
ticularly at risk.

backrest is returned to the upright
position, check that it is properly
locked in place by pushing and pulling
it.

Return the outboard head restraints to
the upright position.
•
Long loads should always be securely
anchored to help avoid injury in the
event of a sudden stop.
•
Always turn the engine off and apply
the parking brake when loading/
unloading the vehicle.
•
Place the transmission in the Park (P)
position to help prevent inadvertent
movement of the gear selector.
•
On hot days, the temperature in the
vehicle interior can rise very quickly.
Exposure of people to these high tem-
peratures for even a short period of
time can cause heat-related injury or
death. Small children are particularly at
