WARNING!
Do not leave animals or children inside parked
vehicles in hot weather; interior heat build up may
cause serious injury or death.
Be sure that the parking brake is engaged and that the
shift lever is in the NEUTRAL or PARK position. Turn the
key in the ignition switch to the ON/RUN position.
Apply the brakes before shifting into any driving gear.
