STARTING PROCEDURES

Before starting your vehicle, adjust your seat, adjust the inside and outside mirrors, fasten
your seat belt, and if present, instruct all other occupants to buckle their seat belts.
• Before exiting a vehicle, always come to a complete stop, then shift the automatic
transmission into PARK and apply the parking brake. Always make sure the keyless
ignition node is in the OFF mode, remove the key fob from the vehicle and lock the
vehicle.
• Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or with access to an unlocked vehicle.
Leaving children 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 gear selector.
• Do not leave the key fob in or near the vehicle, or in a location accessible to children,
and do not leave the ignition of a vehicle equipped with Keyless Enter-N-Go in the
ACC or ON/RUN mode. A child could operate power windows, other controls, or move
the vehicle.
• Do not leave children or animals inside parked vehicles in hot weather. Interior heat
build-up may cause serious injury or death.
