-
Never

has come to a complete stop. The full func-
tion of the brake booster and the power
steering
is
not guaranteed. You must use
more force to turn or brake if necessary
. Be-
cause you cannot steer and brake as you
usually would, this
could
lead to crashes
and serious injuries
.
-
For safety reasons, you should always park
your vehicle with the selector lever in
P.
Otherwise, the
vehicle could
inadvertently
roll away.
-

radiator
fan can continue
to run for
up
to
10 minutes
even
after
you
have
turned
off
the
engine and removed
the
ignition key
.
The radiator fan can also
turn
on again if
the
engine coolant heats up because of
intense
sunlight or heat
build-up
in the engine com-
partment
.
-
Always take the key with you whenever you
leave your vehicle
.
Otherwise, the engine
could be started or electrical equipment
such as the power windows could be operat-
ed.
This
can lead to serious injury
.
-
Never
leave children or persons requiring as-
sistance
unattended
in the vehicle. The
doors can
be locked
using the
remote
trans-
mitter,
preventing
people from escaping
from the vehicle on
their
own in the event
of
an
emergency.
Depending
on the
time
of
year,
people inside
the vehicle
can be
ex-
posed to very high or very low tempera-
tures.
