WARNING
Never stop the engine before the vehicle has come to a com-
plete stop. You can lose control of the vehicle, crash, and be
seriously injured.
The airbags and safety belt pretensioners will not work when
the ignition is switched off.
The brake booster does not work when the engine is not run-
ning. More brake pedal pressure will be needed to stop the ve-
hicle.
The power steering system does not work when the engine is
not running, and you will need more force to steer the vehicle.
When the key is removed from the ignition switch, the steer-
ing will lock and you will not be able to steer the vehicle.
NOTICE
If the vehicle has been driven hard for a long time, the engine
could overheat when it is stopped. To reduce the risk of engine
damage, let the engine idle in Neutral for about 2 minutes before
you switch off the ignition.
If the ignition is switched on or the engine is running and the driv-
er door is opened, a chime sounds. The chime is also a reminder to
switch off the engine and turn off the ignition before leaving and lock-
ing the vehicle from the outside.
On vehicles with automatic transmissions, the vehicle key can
only be removed from the ignition when the transmission is in Park
(P).
After the engine has been switched off, the radiator fan in the
engine compartment may keep running for several minutes, or may
start running after the vehicle has been parked for a while, even if the
ignition is switched off and the vehicle key has been removed. The
radiator fan shuts off automatically when the engine has cooled down
enough.
