• Never park the vehicle where it can come in contact with dry
grass, spilled fuel or any other flammable materials .

emergency. Danger to life!

could release the parking brake or move the gearshift lever out of
gear. The vehicle could start to roll away and cause an accident.
• No matter what the season is, the temperature in a parked
vehicle can reach dangerous levels. •
