STARTING THE ENGINE

Before starting your vehicle, adjust your seat,
adjust both inside and outside mirrors, and
fasten your seat belts.
WARNING!
When leaving the vehicle, always remove
the key fob from the ignition and lock your
vehicle. If equipped with Keyless
Enter-N-Go, always make sure the keyless
ignition node is in 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.
Allowing children to be in a vehicle unat-
tended 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.
