Starting Procedures

Before starting your vehicle, adjust your seat, adjust both inside and outside mirrors, and fasten your seat belts.

• Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or with access to an unlocked vehicle. Allowing children to be in a vehicle unattended is dangerous for a number of reasons. A child or others could be seriously or fatally injured. Children should be warned not to touch the parking brake, brake pedal or the shift lever.

• Do not leave the keys in the ignition. A child could operate power windows, other controls, or move the vehicle.
