WARNING!
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, key fob is removed from
the vehicle and vehicle is locked.
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.
WARNING! (Continued)
Do not leave the key fob in or near the

vehicle, or in a location accessible to chil-
dren, 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.
NOTE:
Engine start up in very low ambient temperature
could result in evident white smoke. This condi-
tion will disappear as the engine warms up.
