NOTICE
When doors are frozen s hut, use warm water around 
the door edges to melt any ice. Do not try to force 
them open, as this can damage the rubber trim 
around the doors. When done, wipe dry to avoid 
further freezing.
Do not pour warm water  into the key cylinder.
You will be unable to insert the key if the water 
freezes in the hole.
Heat from the engine  and exhaust can ignite 
flammable material s left under the hood, causing a 
fire. If you've parked y our vehicle for an extended 
period, inspect and remove  any debris that may have 
collected, such as dried grass and leaves that have 
fallen or have been carried  in for use as a nest by a 
small animal. Also check  under the hood for leftover 
flammable materials after  you or someone else has 
performed maintenance on your vehicle.
