WARNING
僅 Never adjust the instrument cluster while driving. This could result in loss of control and
lead to an accident that may cause death, serious injury, or vehicle damage.
僅 Leaving your vehicle unlocked can increase the risk of vehicle theft or any possible crim-
inal harm caused by someone hiding in your vehicle while you are gone. Always remove
the smart key, engage the parking brake, close all windows and lock all doors when
leaving your vehicle unattended.
僅 Do not use the interior lights when driving in the dark. Accidents could happen because
the view may be obscured by interior lights.
僅 Do not sleep in your vehicle or remain parked in your vehicle with the windows up and
either the heater or the air conditioning ON for prolonged periods of time. Doing so may
increase the levels of carbon dioxide in the cabin which may lead to serious injury or
death.
僅 To reduce the risk of personal injury in the event of sudden stop or collision, do not
place uncovered or unsecured bottles, glasses, cans, etc., in the vehicle while the vehicle
is in motion.
僅 Do not store glasses, gas lighter, portable battery, canned beverage, spray can, propane
cylinder, cosmetic tube or other flammable/explosive materials in the vehicle. These
items may catch fire and/or explode if the vehicle is exposed to hot temperatures for
extended periods.
僅 Do not hang other objects such as hangers or hard objects except clothes. Also, do not
put heavy, sharp or breakable objects. In an accident or when the curtain air bag is
inflated, it may cause vehicle damage or body injury.
僅 Do not place uncovered cups with hot liquid while the vehicle is in motion. If the hot liq-
uid spills, you burn yourself. Such a burn to the driver could lead to loss of control of the
vehicle.
僅 To reduce the risk of personal injury in the event of sudden stop or collision, do not
place uncovered or unsecured bottles, glasses, cans, etc. while the vehicle is in motion.
僅 Keep cans or bottles out of direct sun light and do not put them in a vehicle that is
heated up. It may explode.
