WARNING
•Always take the key with you when leaving the vehicle, even if you only
intend to be gone for a short time. This is particularly important if there are
children in the vehicle, as they might otherwise be able to start the engine
or use power-operated equipment (e.g. the electric windows), which could
cause injuries.•Wait for the vehicle to come to a standstill before removing the ignition
key from the lock! Otherwise, the steering lock could engage suddenly,
causing an accident.
