the VDC system except under above-mentioned situations.
NOTE
D When the VDC switch has been pressed to deactivate the VDC
system, the VDC system automatically reactivates itself the next
time the ignition key is turned to the OFF position and the engine is
restarted.
D If the VDC OFF switch is held down for 10 seconds or longer, the
VDC OFF indicator light goes off, the VDC system is activated, and
the system ignores any further pressing of the VDC OFF switch. To
make the VDC OFF switch usable again, turn the ignition key to the
OFF position and restart the engine.
Parking your vehicle
WARNING
D Never leave unattended children or pets in the vehicle. They
could accidentally injure themselves or others through inadver-
tent operation of the vehicle. Also, on hot or sunny days, the tem-
perature in a closed vehicle could quickly become high enough
to cause severe or possibly fatal injuries to them.
D Do not park the vehicle over flammable materials such as dry
grass, waste paper or rags, as they may burn easily if they come
near hot engine or exhaust system parts.
D Be sure to stop the engine if you take a nap in the vehicle. If
engine exhaust gas enters the passenger compartment, occu-
pants in the vehicle could die from carbon monoxide (CO) con-
tained in the exhaust gas.
CAUTION
Never drive while the parking brake is set because this will cause
unnecessary wear on the brake linings. Before starting to drive,
always make sure that the parking brake has been fully released.
