WARNING

An open glove compartment door can increase the risk of seri-

ous injury during sudden braking or driving maneuvers or in a

crash.

Always keep the glove compartment closed while the vehicle

is moving.

NOTICE

In some vehicle models, design considerations have made it

necessary to have openings in the glove compartment behind

the Owner's Manual slot, for example. Small items may fall

through these openings and get behind the instrument panel.

This can cause unusual noises and damage the vehicle. Never

put any small objects in the glove compartment for this reason.
