•The anti-theft steering columnlock (if equipped) is not a substi‐tute for the parking brake. Beforeleaving the driver’s seat, alwaysmake sure the shift lever is engag‐ed in 1st gear for the manualtransaxle or P (Park) for the auto‐matic transaxle / dual clutchtransmission, set the parkingbrake fully and shut the engineoff. Unexpected and sudden vehi‐cle movement may occur if theseprecautions are not taken.
•Never reach for the ignitionswitch, or any other controlsthrough the steering wheel whilethe vehicle is in motion. The pres‐ence of your hand or arm in thisarea could cause a loss of vehiclecontrol, an accident and seriousbodily injury or death.
