KEYLESS-GO* from the starter switch, take

move the gear selector lever from
position P, either of which could result in an
accident and/or serious injury.
Warning! G
Getting out of your vehicle with the gear se-
lector lever not fully engaged in position P is
dangerous. Also, when parked on an incline,
position P alone may not prevent your vehi-
cle from moving, possibly hitting people or
objects.
Always set the parking brake in addition to
shifting to position P.
When parked on an incline, turn front wheels
towards the road curb.
