Warning
When leaving the vehicle, always remove the
SmartKey from the ignition lock. Always take
the SmartKey with you and lock the vehicle.
Do not leave children unsupervised in the
vehicle, even if they are secured in a child
restraint system, and do not give them access
to an unlocked vehicle. A child’s unsupervised
access to a vehicle could result in an accident
and/or serious personal injury. They could:
R
injure themselves on vehicle parts
R
be seriously or fatally injured by extreme
heat or cold
R
injure themselves or have an accident with
vehicle equipment that may still be in
operation even after the SmartKey has
been removed from the ignition, such as the
seat adjustment, steering wheel
adjustment or memory function.
If children open a door, they could cause
severe or even fatal injury to other persons; if
they get out of the vehicle, they could injure
themselves when doing so or be seriously or
even fatally injured by any passing 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 a child could be burned on these
parts.

Warning!
Do not carry heavy or hard objects in the
passenger or cargo compartment unless they
are firmly secured in place.
