●Sudden braking, acceleration and steering may cause tire spinning and reduce
your.ability.to.control.the.vehicle,.resulting.in.an.accident.
●The.sudden.changes.in.engine.speed.(e.g.,.engine.braking.caused.by.a.downshift).
may.cause.the.vehicle.to.spin.,.thus.causing.an.accident.

•.The temperature inside the vehicle may cause the plastic lenses and plastic
material.of.glasses.to.deform.or.crack.
•.Soft drink cans may fracture, causing the contents to spray over the interior
of the vehicle, and may also cause a short circuit in the vehicle's electronic
components.
●Always apply the electronic parking brake, change the shift lever to P, turn off the
engine,.and.lock.the.vehicle.
●Do not touch the exhaust pipes while the engine is operating or immediately after
