WARNING (continued)
•
Never park the vehicle where it can come in contact with dry
grass, spilled fuel or any other flammable materials.
•
When parking on hills, always turn the wheels so that the front
wheels will first roll into the curb, if the vehicle should start to roll.
•
Never allow anyone - especially small children - to remain
in the
vehicle when it is locked. Locked doors make it more difficult for
rescuers to access the passenger compartment in the event of an
emergency. Danger to life!
•
Never leave children unsupervised in the vehicle. Children
could release the parking brake or move the gearshift lever out of
gear. The vehicle could start to roll away and cause an accident.
•
No matter what the season is, the temperature in a parked
vehicle can reach dangerous levels.

Note
•
Please exercise care when you park your vehicle in parking areas
with parking barriers or curbs . Parking barriers and curbs vary in
height and could damage your bumper and related components as
the front of your vehicle moves over a barrier or curb that is too
high, as you park or as you back out of a parking spot. In order to be
sure that no such damage can occur, you may wish to stop short of
having the front tires of your car touch the parking barrier or curb.
•
Please also exercise exceptional care when you drive up or down
steep ramps or drive over curbs or other obstacles, for which the
vehicle is not designed , because components of the vehicle close to
the ground, such as bumper covers, spoilers and suspension and
exhaust system components, may become damaged. •
