Danger!
20 mm button cells and other lithium batteries will cause serious personal injury
and even death within a short time if swallowed.
- Always keep remote control vehicle key fobs with batteries, spare batteries,
as well as dead button cell and larger 20 mm batteries out of the reach of children.
- Get medical attention immediately if you suspect that a battery has been
swallowed.
Warning
Improper use of vehicle keys can result in serious personal injury.
- Always take the key with you when you leave the vehicle. It can be used
to start the engine and operate vehicle systems such as the power windows, leading
to serious personal injury. Children or other unauthorized persons could also
lock the doors and the luggage compartment.
- Never leave children, disabled persons, or anyone who cannot help themselves
in the vehicle. The doors can be locked with the remote control vehicle key.
This could result in people being trapped in the vehicle in an emergency. For
example, depending on the time of year, people trapped in the vehicle can be
exposed to very high or very low temperatures.
- Heat buildup in the passenger and luggage compartment of a parked vehicle
can result in temperatures in the vehicle that are much higher than the outside
temperatures, particularly in summer. Temperatures can quickly reach levels
that can cause unconsciousness and death, particularly to small children.
- Never remove the key from the ignition switch while the vehicle is moving
or rolling to a stop. The steering wheel will lock and you will not be able
to steer or control the vehicle.
