WARNING

• Never press the engine START/STOP button while the vehicle is moving. This will result in loss of steering and braking function, which may cause an accident.
• The anti-theft steering column lock (if equipped) is not a substitute for the parking brake. Before leaving the driver's seat, always make sure the shift lever is in P (Park), apply the parking brake fully, and turn the engine off. Unexpected and sudden vehicle movement may occur if these precautions are not taken.
• Never touch the engine START/STOP button or any other controls on the steering wheel while the vehicle is moving. The presence of your hand or arm in the area may result in loss of vehicle control, an accident, and serious personal injury or death.
• Do not place loose objects around the driver's seat where they may move during driving, interfere with the driver, and cause an accident.
