WARNING! (Continued)

• Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or with

access to an unlocked vehicle. Allowing children to

be in a vehicle unattended is dangerous for a

number of reasons. A child or others could be

seriously or fatally injured. Children should be

warned not to touch the parking brake, brake pedal

or the transmission gear selector.

• Do not leave the ignition key in or near the vehicle

(or in a location accessible to children). A child

could operate power windows, other controls, or

move the vehicle.

is locked in PARK.

NOTE: If a malfunction occurs, the system will trap the

key in the ignition switch to warn you that this safety
