STARTING PROCEDURES
Before starting your vehicle, adjust your seat, adjust the

inside and outside mirrors, fasten your seat belt, and if

present, instruct all other occupants to buckle their seat

belts.

WARNING!

Never leave children alone in a vehicle. Leaving
unattended children in a vehicle is dangerous for a
number of reasons. A child or others could be seri-
ously or fatally injured. Do not leave the key fob in
the ignition switch. A child could operate power
windows, other controls, or move the vehicle.
