Do not leave children unattended inside the
vehicle. They could unknowingly activate
switches or controls, or move the vehicle. Un-

serious accidents.
Action to take:
Stop the vehicle in a safe location, and then turn off
and restart the engine. If the warning message con-
tinues to appear, have the Intelligent Driver Alert-

unintended operation of the vehicle and/or its
systems, do not leave children, people who re-
quire the assistance of others or pets unat-
tended in your vehicle. Additionally, the tem-
perature inside a closed vehicle on a warm day
can quickly become high enough to cause a
significant risk of injury or death to people and
pets.
