WARNING

road surfaces or at high speeds:

could lead to loss of vehicle control

and an accident.

Keep your hands on the steering wheel

rim when using fingers or thumbs on

the steering shift switches:

Putting your hands inside the rim of

the steering wheel when using the

steering shift switches is dangerous.

impacted causing injury.
