driving safely. Distraction can lead to a serious accident.
l In addition to this general warning, we offer the following guidance reg\
arding specific newer features
that may be found in your vehicles:
l Never use a hand-held cellular telephone while driving. Some jurisdictio\
ns prohibit cellular telephone
use by a driver while the vehicle is moving.
l If your car is equipped with a navigation system, set and make changes t\
o your travel itinerary only
with the vehicle parked.
l Never program your audio system while the vehicle is moving. Program rad\
io presets with the vehicle
parked, and use your programmed presets to make radio use quicker and si\
mpler.
l Never use portable computers or personal digital assistants while the ve\
hicle is moving.
A driver has a responsibility to do everything possible to ensure his or\
her own safety and the safety of
passengers in the vehicle and others sharing the roadway. Avoiding distr\
actions is part of that
responsibility.


The following should be checked regularly: *
1 Washer fluid reservoir should be filled with water and solvent (wintertime: windshie\
ld washer anti-
freeze). See
page 133.
2 Power steering - When cold, the level must not be above the COLD mark and when hot it \
must not be
above the HOT mark. Top up if the level drops to the ADD mark with ATF f\
luid. See
page 137.
3 Coolant level should be between the expansion tank marks. Mixture: 50% anti-fre\
eze and 50% water.
See
page 131.
