WARNING
Improper use of vehicle keys can result in serious personal in-
jury.
Always take the key with you when you leave the vehicle. It
can be used to start the engine and operate vehicle systems
such as the power windows, leading to serious personal injury.
Children or other unauthorized persons could also lock the
doors and the luggage compartment.
Never leave children, disabled persons, or anyone who can-
not help themselves in the vehicle. The doors can be locked
with the remote control vehicle key. This could leave people
trapped in the vehicle in an emergency. Depending on the time
of year, people trapped in the vehicle can be exposed to very
high or very low temperatures.
A closed vehicle can become very hot or very cold, depend-
ing on the season. Particularly in the summer, heat buildup in
the passenger and luggage compartment of a parked vehicle
can result in temperatures in the vehicle that are much higher
than the outside temperatures. Temperatures can quickly reach
levels that can cause unconsciousness and death, particularly
to small children.
Never remove the key from the ignition switch while the vehi-
cle is moving or rolling to a stop. The steering wheel will lock
and you will not be able to steer or control the vehicle.
