When parking on a hill, it is important to turn the front
wheels toward the curb on a downhill grade and away
from the curb on an uphill grade. For vehicles equipped
with an automatic transmission, apply the parking brake
before placing the shift lever in PARK, otherwise the load
on the transmission locking mechanism may make it
difficult to move the shift lever out of PARK. The parking
brake should always be applied whenever the driver is
not in the vehicle.

WARNING!

When leaving the vehicle, always remove the key

fob from the ignition and lock your vehicle.

Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or with

access to an unlocked vehicle.

WARNING! (Continued)

Allowing children to be in a vehicle unattended is

dangerous for a number of reasons. A child or
others could be seriously or fatally injured. Chil-
dren should be warned not to touch the parking
brake, brake pedal or the shift lever.

Do not leave the key fob in or near the vehicle or

in a location accessible to children, and do not
leave a vehicle equipped with Keyless Enter-N-
Go™ in the ACC or ON/RUN mode. A child could
operate power windows, other controls, or move
the vehicle.

Be sure the parking brake is fully disengaged

before driving; failure to do so can lead to brake
failure and a collision.
