WARNING - Ignition key • Never turn the ignition switch to LOCK or ACC while the vehicle is moving. This would result in loss of directional control and braking function, which could cause an accident or collision.
• Before leaving the driver’s seat, always make sure the shift lever is engaged in 1st gear for manual transaxle or P (Park) for automatic transaxle. Then, set the parking brake fully and shut the engine off. Unexpected and sudden vehicle movement may occur if these precautions are not taken.
• Never reach for the ignition switch, or any other controls through the steering wheel while the vehicle is in motion. The presence of your hand or arm in this area could cause a loss of vehicle control, an accident and serious bodily injury or death.
• Do not place any movable objects around the driver’s seat as they may move while driving, interfere with the driver and lead to an accident.
