STARTING AND OPERATING
• Never use the PARK position as a
substitute for the parking brake.
Always apply the parking brake
fully when parked to guard against
vehicle movement and possible in-

alone. Leaving unattended chil-
dren in a vehicle is dangerous for a
number of reasons. The child or
others could be seriously or fatally
injured. They could operate the
windows, other vehicle controls or
move the vehicle.
