When leaving the vehicle, always remove
the SmartKey from the starter switch.
Always take the SmartKey with you and
lock the vehicle. Do not leave children unat-
tended in the vehicle, even if they are
secured in a child restraint system, or with
access to an unlocked vehicle. A child’s
unsupervised access to a vehicle could
result in an accident and or serious per-
sonal injury. The children could
R

R
be seriously or fatally injured through
excessive exposure to extreme heat or
cold
R
injure themselves or cause an accident
with vehicle equipment that can be oper-
ated even if the SmartKey is removed
from the starter switch or removed from
the vehicle, such as seat adjustment,
steering wheel adjustment, or the mem-
ory function.
If children open a door, they could injure
other persons or get out of the vehicle and
injure themselves or be injured by following
traffic.
Do not expose the child restraint system to
direct sunlight. The child restraint system’s
metal parts, for example, could become
very hot, and the child could be burned on
these parts.
G
Warning!
Do not carry heavy or hard objects in the
passenger compartment unless they are
firmly secured in place.
