WARNING!
Never use the PARK position on an automatic 
transmission as a substitute for the parking 
brake. Always apply the parking brake fully 
when parked to guard against vehicle move-
ment and possible injury or damage.
When exiting the vehicle, always remove the 
key fob from the ignition and lock your vehicle.
Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or with 
access to an unlocked vehicle. Allowing chil-
dren to be in a vehicle unattended is 
dangerous for a number of reasons. A child or 
others could be seriously or fatally injured. 
Children should be warned not to touch the 
parking brake, brake pedal or the gear 
selector.
WARNING!
WARNING!
You or others could be injured if you leave the 
vehicle unattended without having the parking 
brake fully applied. The parking brake should 
always be applied when the driver is not in the 
vehicle, especially on an incline.
CAUTION!
Never drive with your foot resting on or 
partially depressing the clutch pedal. Never 
attempt to hold the vehicle on a hill with the 
clutch pedal partially engaged. Operating 
vehicle in this manner may cause the clutch to 
overheat and cause permanent damage to 
the clutch. If you continue to operate the 
vehicle in this manner, the “CLUTCH HOT” 
message or Transmission Temperature 
Warning Light will be displayed in the instru -
ment cluster. For more information  
Ú page 133.
Do not drive with your hand resting on the gear 
selector as the force exerted, even if slight, 
could lead over time to premature wear of the 
gearbox internal components.
