N00629000542
For a safer and more enjoyable trip, always observe the follow-
ing: Seat belts and seats

Before starting the vehicle, make certain that you and all
passengers are seated and wearing their seat belts properly
(with children in the rear seat, in appropriate restraints),
and that all the doors and the rear hatch are locked.


Move the driver’s seat as far backward as possible, while
still keeping good visibility, and good control of the steer-
ing wheel, brakes, accelerator, and controls. Check the
instrument panel indicators and multi-information display
for any possible problem.


Move the front passenger seat as far back as possible.


Make sure that infants and small children are properly
restrained in accordance with all laws and regulations.
Floor mats
WA R N I N G
!

Keep floor mats clear of the pedals by correctly lay-
ing floor mats that are suitable for the vehicle.
To prevent the floor mats from slipping out of posi-
tion, securely retain them using the hook etc.
Placing a floor mat over a pedal or laying one floor
mat on top of another can obstruct pedal operation
and lead to a serious accident.

it dry in a shady, well ventilated area. NOTE

solution of gentle soap and water.

ing silicone or wax.

N00945500131
1. To maintain the value of your new vehicle, maintain the
upholstery carefully and keep the interior clean.
Use a vacuum cleaner and brush to clean the seats. If

an appropriate cleaner. Cloth fabrics can be cleaned with
either upholstery cleaner or a 3 % solution of gentle soap
in lukewarm water.
2. Clean the carpeting with a vacuum cleaner and remove
any stains with carpet cleaner. Oil and grease can be
removed by lightly dabbing with a clean white cloth and
spot remover. NOTE

If fuzzing is difficult to remove from the seat upholstery,
draw a suitable defuzzing brush over the surface in one
direction.
CAUTION
!

Do not use organic substances (solvents, benzine,
kerosene, alcohol, gasoline, etc.) or alkaline or acidic
solutions.
These chemicals can cause discoloring, staining or
cracking of the surface.
If you use cleaners or polishing agents, make sure
their ingredients do not include the substances men-
tioned above.
