Getting started Parking and locking Switching off headlamps Turn exterior lamp switch to M ( page 55). For more information, see "Lighting" ( page 110). Warning! G Warning! G Getting out of your vehicle with the gear selector lever* not fully engaged in position P (manual transmission: first or reverse gear) is dangerous. Also, when parked on an incline, position P (manual transmission: first or reverse gear) alone may not prevent your vehicle from moving, possibly hitting people or objects. Always set the parking brake in addition to shifting to position P (manual transmission: first or reverse gear). When parked on an incline, turn the front wheels towards the road curb. When leaving the vehicle, always remove the SmartKey from the starter switch, take it with you, and lock the vehicle. Do not leave children unattended in the vehicle, or with access to an unlocked vehicle. Children could release the parking brake and/or move the gear selector lever* from position P (manual transmission: into Neutral), either of which could result in an accident and/or serious injury. 60
