Getting out of your vehicle with the gear

prevent your vehicle from moving, possibly
hitting people or objects.

shifting to park position P (

When parked on an incline, turn front wheels
towards the road curb.
Warning! G
When leaving the vehicle, always remove the
SmartKey from the starter switch, take it
with you, and lock the vehicle. Do not leave
children unattended in the vehicle, or with
access to an unlocked vehicle. Children
could release the parking brake and/or
move the gear selector lever from park
position P, either of which could result in an
accident and/or serious personal injury.
