WA R N I N G
!

Make sure all doors are tightly closed and locked
while driving. Locked doors, in combination with the use of seat
belts, can help reduce the risk of ejection in an
accident.
 Locked doors can help keep passengers, especially
small children, from opening doors and falling out
of moving vehicles.
 Locked doors can help prevent outsiders from
gaining access to your vehicle when you slow or
come to a stop.


Lock your vehicle whenever you leave it. Children
who get into unlocked vehicles may not be able to
get out. Children trapped inside vehicles can quickly
be overcome by heat and suffer serious injury or
death due to heat stroke.


Never leave a child alone in the vehicle. In addition
to the risk of heat stroke, children can activate
switches and controls, resulting in an injury or fatal
accident.


When closing a door, make sure that the door is fully
closed and the door-ajar warning display goes out
on the information screen on the multi-information
display. If the door is ajar it could open while driv-
ing and cause an accident.

NOTE

Locking and unlocking the doors by using power door
locks (driver and front passenger side), keyless entry sys-
tem (if so equipped), or F.A.S.T.-key (if so equipped) also
locks and unlocks the tailgate.
WA R N I N G
!

Always keep the doors tightly closed and locked
when driving. An unlocked door may be acciden-
tally opened by a passenger, especially by a child
who could fall out. Also, if the doors are not locked,
there is a greater risk of someone being thrown from
the vehicle in an accident.
WA R N I N G
!

It is dangerous to drive with the tailgate (upper gate
and lower gate) open since carbon monoxide (CO)
gas can enter the passenger compartment.
CO is an invisible, odorless gas that can cause
unconsciousness and even death.


When opening and closing the tailgate, make sure
that there are no people nearby and be careful not to
hit your head or pinch your hands, neck, etc.CAUTION
!

Do not stand behind the exhaust pipe when loading
and unloading luggage. Heat from the exhaust could
lead to burns.

Driving safety

4 Driving, alcohol and drugs
N00628900049
Drunk driving is one of the most frequent causes of accidents.
Your driving ability can be seriously impaired even with blood
alcohol levels far below the legal minimum. If you have been
drinking, don’t drive. Ride with a designated non-drinking
driver, call a cab or a friend, or use public transportation.
Drinking coffee or taking a cold shower will not make you
sober.
Similarly, prescription and nonprescription drugs affect your
alertness, perception and reaction time. Consult with your doc-
tor or pharmacist before driving while under the influence of
any of these medications.
Vehicle preparation before driving
N00629000470
For a safer and more enjoyable trip, always check for the fol-
lowing: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 flap-fold tailgate 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.


In the same way, the front passenger seat should also be
moved as far back as possible.


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

NEVER DRINK AND DRIVE.
Your perceptions are less accurate, your reflexes are
slower and your judgment is impaired.

(-) terminal of the booster battery (B), and the other end to
the engine block of the vehicle with the low battery (A) at
the point farthest from the battery.7. Start the engine in the vehicle providing the boost. Let the
engine idle a few minutes, then start the engine in the
vehicle with the low battery.

Be sure to follow the proper order when connecting
the batteries, of: →→→


Make sure that the connection is made to the
engine properly. If the connection is directly made to
the negative terminal of the battery, the flammable
gases from inside the battery might catch fire and
explode, causing personal injury.


When connecting the jumper cable, do not connect
the positive (+) cable to the negative (-) terminal.
Otherwise sparks can make the battery explode.CAUTION
!

Make sure that the jumper cable will not be caught
in the cooling fan or other moving parts in the
engine compartment.
WA R N I N G
!

Charging your battery while it is still in your vehicle
might cause the battery to catch fire and explode. If
you have to charge it while in the vehicle, disconnect
the negative (-) terminal.


Keep sparks, cigarettes, and flames away from the
battery because the battery could explode.


Keep your work area well vented when charging or
using the battery in an enclosed space.


Remove all the caps before charging the battery.


Electrolyte (battery acid) is made of corrosive
diluted sulfuric acid. If electrolyte comes in contact
with your hands, eyes, clothes, or the painted sur-
face of your vehicle, thoroughly flush with water. If
electrolyte gets in your eyes, flush them immediately
and thoroughly with water, and get prompt medical
attention.


Always wear protective clothing and goggles when
working near the battery.


Keep the battery out of the reach of children.
