WARNING

Before leaving the driver's seat,

always switch the ignition oﬀ, set the

parking brake, and make sure the

selector lever is in P (automatic

transmission) position or in 1st gear

or R (manual transmission):

Leaving the driver's seat without

switching the ignition oﬀ, setting the

parking brake, and shifting the selector

lever to P (automatic transmission)

position or to 1st gear or R (manual

transmission) is dangerous.

Unexpected vehicle movement could

occur which could result in an

accident.
