WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious
injury or death:
•
ALWAYS check the surround-
ing areas near your vehicle for
people, especially children,
before shifting a vehicle into
D (Drive) or R (Reverse).
•
Before leaving the driver's
seat, always make sure the
shift lever is in the P (Park)
position, then set the parking
brake, and place the ignition
switch in the LOCK/OFF posi-
tion. Unexpected and sudden
vehicle movement can occur
if these precautions are not
followed.
•
When using Manual Shift
Mode, use caution when shift-
ing from a higher gear to a
lower gear on slippery roads.
This could cause the tires to
slip and may result in an acci-
dent.
